  • DeFi is now a $3 billion industry (Image: Shutterstock)

    Is Ethereum's DeFi boom sustainable in the long term?

    In recent weeks, we’ve seen a boom in decentralized finance (DeFi). ​Recent data​ have shown that total DeFi users have grown by 23% since the start of June, while over ​$2 billion​ worth of Ethereum and Bitcoin is now locked up in DeFi. And transaction volume across Ethereum-based DeFi dapps has increased by nearly 800% since April. It's driven by the rise of yield farming, in which DeFi platforms offer token incentives in exchange for users' deposits. It’s led to ​unintended consequences​ as...
