We recently hosted an enriching Twitter Spaces session with Bitmart, discussing the prospects of the next DeFi bull run.
The session featured a panel of renowned experts, including Matt Unchi (@mattunchi), GuthL from Starknet (@GuthL), Kelly Kellam (@Kellykellam), Matthew Sigel, the Head of Research at VanEck (@matthew_sigel), and Andy (@ayyyeandy), among others.
These individuals brought diverse perspectives and deep insights into the current state and future of decentralized finance.
21Shares, renowned for being the first provider of a Bitcoin ETF, has now invested in De.Fi. This partnership is a powerful endorsement of De.Fi’s vision and strategy, underlining our platform’s credibility and potential in the DeFi space.
The recent approval of the 21Shares x ARK Invest Bitcoin ETF is a milestone in the cryptocurrency market, indicating a growing acceptance and institutionalization of digital assets. This development is particularly significant as it represents one of the first instances of a Bitcoin ETF receiving regulatory approval, paving the way for broader mainstream investment in cryptocurrencies. 21Shares’ vote of confidence in De.Fi, and the wider DeFi space, is a clear signal of more to come.
In 2023, the cryptocurrency community faced substantial losses due to rug pulls, amounting to over $210 million.
However, De.Fi’s Antivirus has emerged as a critical tool in this landscape, boasting a 100% success rate in detecting these fraudulent activities. This impressive achievement underscores the efficiency and reliability of the Scanner, our free Smart Contract (SC) auditing tool in safeguarding users’ investments against bad actors in Web3.
