Our story

From DeFi rates to prediction markets

DeFi Rate was founded in 2020, during the first “DeFi Summer,” when decentralized finance was starting to change how lending and ownership work online. New projects launched daily, yields swung wildly, and reliable information was hard to find. We started with a simple idea: track and compare interest rates across DeFi lending platforms, and explain what we found in plain language. We still do.

That early focus on rates gave us our name. Today, DeFi Rate is one of the most widely cited independent publications covering prediction markets, DeFi and the regulation shaping both.

Where we’re headed

We’re building an analytics platform for prediction markets that brings cross-venue prices, arbitrage checks and portfolio tracking into one place. As these markets expand and regulators set the rules, we’ll keep documenting what happens, with the data to back it up.
