Decentralised finance (DeFi), also known as open finance innovation, was a watershed point in the history of finance. With the advent of tokens like Compound and Sushiswap promising significant payouts to crypto traders, it grew to prominence in the summer of 2020.
According to DeFi Pulse, the total value locked in DeFi protocols has increased by tenfold since May 2020, standing at a whopping amount of $78 billion. This is the current value of all cryptocurrency deposits used for lending, staking, liquidity pools, and other purposes.
According to Dune Analytics, DeFi applications are used by over 4 million unique addresses (proxies for users), representing a 40x increase in the last two years.

In comparison to CeFi, Formo Holdings’ unique DeFi borrowing and lending investment strategy provides innovations in efficiency, access, and transparency. Unlike traditional banks and CeFi platforms, DeFi lets anyone to become a borrower or lender without revealing personal information, proving their identity, or going through KYC (know your customer) requirements. Borrowers and lenders are also not required to give up custody of funds (i.e. user has access to their funds at all times). Smart contracts on open-source blockchains, primarily Ethereum, are used to do this. Borrowers will borrow from a lending protocol that lenders can deposit to. Lenders can redeem deposited assets at any moment, and borrowers can repay part or all of their debt at any time.
Formo Holdings will be a high-performing financial service firm that delivers financial success for their clients, businesses, and not-for-profit customers in the markets we choose to serve, with a mission to positively affect lives by assisting people in achieving their ambitions. Thus, in 2022, Formo Holdings joins the Asia-Pacific market with a DeFi swap model, with Binance Coin (BNB) incorporated as collateral assets within these platforms, following different cooperation with leading worldwide DeFi lending and borrowing platforms.
DeFi has the potential to disrupt every financial transaction, from derivatives ($1 quadrillion), the stock market ($90 trillion), to insurance ($6 trillion). And this is just the beginning.
