Centralized exchanges are not #DeFi . They are traditional financial intermediaries and must be regulated & supervised accordingly. Stop blaming transparent infrastructure and neutral protocols for the failures of a centralized service provider. True DeFi can mitigate this issue.

I completely disagree. Public ledgers are a key infrastructure to defend our democracy and freedom. You shouldn't be afraid of decentralization, you should be afraid of excessive centralization. Happy to invite you to the @UniBasel_en and host a public debate on this topic.

Cryptocurrencies risk undermining sanctions against Russia, allowing Putin and his cronies to evade economic pain. U.S. financial regulators need to take this threat seriously and increase their scrutiny of digital assets.

Backing an on-chain collateralized stablecoin with $USDC, has always been a strange concept. It combines the worst of two worlds: the complexity of on-chain and the centralized dependencies of off-chain collateralized SCs. Recent developments show just how big the risk really is.
