Crypto Finance

Definition

Crypto finance encompasses all financial services and products built upon or involving cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. This domain extends traditional financial concepts like lending, borrowing, trading, and asset management into the decentralized digital asset space. It includes centralized crypto exchanges, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, stablecoins, and various investment vehicles. The sector leverages blockchain’s capabilities for peer-to-peer transactions and automated contract execution, offering alternatives to conventional financial systems.
