Emerging blockchain-based financial applications and services are growing at a rapid pace. This movement—often referred to as “decentralized finance” or “DeFi”—has exploded over the past year with over $50B in assets currently being locked, deployed, or otherwise interacting with these new (often automated) financial protocols. Cardozo’s latest Tech Talk will explore the legal and regulatory challenges with DeFi and outline how these applications fit within existing regulatory regimes.
