With regular innovations and varied products and services to offer, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has immense potential to disrupt the Fintech industry. Let us take a look at some of these path-breaking DeFi trends that are ruling the DeFi space in 2020 and show enormous promise to shine bright in future as well.

Due to its amazing dApp and smart contract use-cases, Ethereum is almost always the preferred choice when it comes to build apps for decentralized finance. All major DeFi platforms are built on the Ethereum blockchain and new projects continue to opt Ethereum. Infact, the TVL in DeFi in Ethereum is around 80% as of today. Ethereum is capable of executing the complicated transactions of Decentralized Finance thanks to its nature of being scalable and adaptable.

The Decentralized Finance industry may be decentralized in nature, in their infrastructure, but there is a major part of it that is still centralized. For eg:- Compound Finance is a DeFi platform that allows the trading of crypto or tokens, but the storage of their value is still in the hands of the company - Compound. Therefore, traders and investors are always on the lookout for a stablecoin that stores value and hedge risks.

One such stablecoin that is completely decentralized is Dai, by MakerDAO. It is by far the most used stablecoin courtesy its transparency and stability.

Plenty of financial products and services of Decentralized Finance have been created and developed on DeFi platforms that have emerged as major trendsetters. One of them is DeFi Insurance that is an emerging sector designed to protect crypto assets and cover associated risks. Crypto wallet insurance, smart contract covers, collateral protection in case of DeFi based crypto loans etc are some of the amazing use-cases of the DeFi insurance. These applications provide an array of benefits for the investors like protection of their DeFi deposits against crypto volatility and flash crash, protection against the risk of theft and attack on crypto wallets, protection of funds from hacks on exchange platforms and many more.

Another interesting and popular decentralized finance product available on the Defi platforms is the Crypto Lending or the Yield Farming phenomenon. Yield Farming is a process where borrowers deposit their crypto assets as collateral to acquire fiat currency loans on the DeFi platforms. Without having to invest in paperwork and worry about repayment, borrowers can borrow money from lenders who wish to lend crypto loans. In case of repayment failure, the borrowers collateral is liquidated.

This is one more useful DeFi service - crypto derivatives trading. DeFi derivatives like Bitcoin Futures trading are generally used to hedge against the risk of volatile assets, particularly those which experience sudden price fluctuations. The purpose of Derivatives trading is not to gain profit but to mitigate risks against a volatile asset.

Synthetic assets are basically used to simulate the risks or benefits of any particular financial instrument by using modelling of one financial instrument or a combination of financial instruments. Read more about how DeFi platforms can manage synthetic assets in this article.
