As DeFi Booms And Becomes The New Trend, Ducato Is Already Ahead With DeFi 2.0

KWAI CHUNG, HONG KONG / ACCESSWIRE / August 12, 2020 / Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has become an exciting, highly valued trend in the blockchain space, with impressive innovation and growing traction over the last two years. The movement which started as a small blockchain niche is fast becoming one of the most valued blockchain issued products.

DeFi takes components of centralized finance and decentralizes them by removing middlemen and replacing them with smart contracts and tokens.

The three largest functions of DeFi includes:

DeFi protocol creates monetary banking services (e.g., issuance of stablecoins)
It allows for the provision of peer-to-peer or pooled lending and borrowing services
It enables advanced financial instruments such as DEX, tokenization platforms, predictions markets, and derivatives.

As at the time of writing, the total value locked (TVL) across all DeFi protocols was valued at $4.46 billion. The top 5 DeFi protocol accounts for more than 80% of the total liquidity as MakerDAO pulls about 30% dominance, with a historical $1.3 billion locked in the Maker platform alone.

It's intriguing to realize that DeFi protocols lending platforms have focused largely on the cryptocurrency sector, it could be fascinating to see the DeFi market tapping into the traditional market, providing lending services to individuals, businesses, and enterprises outside of the cryptocurrency landscape. This is part of the narrative Ducato protocol is bringing to the DeFi space.

Why Defi Is A Big Deal For The Finance Industry

With the aid of smart contract technology, the DeFi app has an unending potential to replace a handful of custodial banking functions. DeFi protocols are written in code and executed by a smart contract, which eliminates the need for a custodian.

Once the contract is deployed to the blockchain, a DeFiDapp can run autonomously without the need for human or third-party interference, asides the occasional upgrade or improvement to the Dapp.

The advantages of DeFi is far-reaching as it solves most of the challenges rocking centralized finance as we know it. The code is usually open-source and transactions are recorded in a public ledger which allows for easy audit and transparency.

Interoperability can easily be achieved with DeFi, making it possible for platforms to connect with decentralized exchanges, and other stablecoins to form a larger ecosystem of products. Additionally, fast settlement time and the low transaction fees continue to distinguish the DeFi protocol from centralized finance (CeFi).

This trend is still gaining momentum, and heightened stablecoin issuance on the Ethereumblockchain has also perpetuated it. As the ecosystem expands, new players like Ducato protocol are already getting into the industry niche with more innovative products that could add a lot of savor to the DeFi ecosystem.

Ducato Introduces DeFi 2.0 Protocol

DeFi could be taking a new shape as Ducato launches a hybrid protocol designated as DeFi 2.0. A protocol that combines decentralized and centralized financial services. By combining both protocols, the platform can dip into the traditional market thereby servicing the DeFi market with deep liquidity and consequently providing room for a wide range of traditional assets to be used as collateral.

On the flip-side, the decentralized platform enables lenders and borrowers to carry out financial services in a more secure, transparent, and automated environment with the aid of Ducato smart contract technology.

Ducatotaps into the traditional CeFi market with official family company Delio, global suppliers of financial services who provide surplus liquidity to the Ducato protocol and also would be utilizing the Ducato hybrid DeFi platform. This is a win-win situation for Ducato and Delio.

This also has a snowball effect on the entire DeFi space. The implication is that it leads to increased liquidity in the DeFi ecosystem and also provides a frictionless route for the traditional market to tap into the decentralized economy and vice versa.

DeFi Could Be Bigger Than What We Had Initially Imagined

With the right cutting-edge technology and innovative players coming into this space, the possibilities that could be attained with DeFi issued products are endless. As the main systems of our society undergo a transformation towards decentralization, there is poised to be more demand for DeFiDapps in the future.

These new-age applications continue to disrupt and reshape the existing business landscape, bringing the entire globe to an era of a decentralized economy that knows no borders but rather a world with a democratic existence.

Luxury Real Estate Atlanta Broker, Luxury Collection of BHHSGA, Releases New Quarterly Market Trend Report

Lori Lane, SVP of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties, led her team to create a comprehensive digital market summary report that benefits their agents, clients, and consumers.

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / August 12, 2020 / Luxury Collection of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties recently released their newly designed quarterly market trend report, REdefined. Led by Senior Vice President Lori Lane, the team created a comprehensive guide to relay market statistics in a visually appealing and informative way.

For more information, please visit: https://luxuryredefined.com/.

"This digital market trend report will be a huge asset to our agents, clients, and consumers," said Lane. "Our extended presence across the state of Georgia allows us to tap into market statistics and information from a wide range of areas, allowing us to present a complete market summary that goes beyond the Metro Atlanta area."

Luxury Collection strives to deliver quality materials that will benefit both its sales professionals and clients. This digital guide offers an extensive market report and county information throughout the entire state of Georgia. The goal of this report is to not only provide the previous quarter's statistics but also provide a prediction of the future market forecast, as well as compare current numbers to the year prior.

REdefined Luxury Collection Market Trends Report highlights: https://youtu.be/YehrrOr10iw

During the second quarter of 2020, we saw how the impacts of COVID-19 forced business practices and real estate transactions to take place in a more virtual and secluded environment. Companies were forced to pivot from their typical business models and find a way to ensure that the health and safety of clients, consumers, associates, and the public were the number one priority. Although the Greater Atlanta real estate market was affected by the spread of the pandemic, the numbers and data do indicate a positive uptick for the remainder of the year.

Also included are brief county descriptions that highlight key features, location, and insight into each county's unique value proposition.

"I am so proud of how our entire company quickly adapted to a new type of normal and how every obstacle was met with innovation, creativity, and efficiency to provide the same level of service to our clients and customers," said President and CEO, Dan Forsman. "These last seven months have presented us all with many challenges. I am thankful to lead a company that embraces challenges and turns them into opportunities to learn and grow. I look forward to another great quarter and a prosperous second half of 2020."

As companies have had to constantly adjust the ever-changing pandemic guidelines, these numbers indicate that the real estate market across Georgia is still, in fact, active. By utilizing technology to conduct home buying and selling, Luxury Collection has been able to provide the same services and attain success for which the brand has come to be known for, even in the midst of the current times.
