Welcome to This Week in DeFi!
A weekly newsletter covering the week in Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
DeFi is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. It’s nearly impossible to stay up to date with everything.
To help, we’ve decided to create a concise newsletter allowing anyone to easily get caught up with the week in DeFi in less than 1,000 words.
In this newsletter, you’ll find:
- An executive summary on the top stories in DeFi
- Lending rates update
- The Stat Box: key figures and metrics in DeFi
- Curated content from industry leaders
A new, parallel financial system is being built for the future. And we’re excited to cover it.
Sign up and stay informed on all things DeFi!
