Real-world assets bridging the gap between TradFi and DeFi
Real-world assets, including credit funds and asset-backed securities, are being brought onto the blockchain through platforms like Centrifuge. This is a significant development as it bridges the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). By tokenizing real-world assets, such as real estate financing, trade financing, and invoices, Centrifuge enables borrowers to leverage these assets as collateral in DeFi protocols. This opens up opportunities for borrowers to access capital more easily and for investors to earn interest on their stablecoins by investing in these asset-backed pools.
