Blockworks is excited to announce the launch of Permissionless, the world’s largest DeFi conference, set to take place in Spring 2022. The conference and expo will be in-person at a U.S. based location to be announced soon.
We’re proud to partner with Electric Capital, Dragonfly Capital, Multicoin Capital, Delphi Digital, Bitwise and Bankless on Permissionless with the shared goal of bringing DeFi to the world.
What is DeFi?
Decentralized Finance, or DeFi for short, is a global alternative to legacy financial services. With DeFi platforms, anyone with a smartphone and internet connection can access transparent financial services such as savings, loans, trading, insurance and more.
Today, more than $50 billion in assets are stored on DeFi platforms — a number that is expected to increase by more than 10 times by 2025.
“DeFi is the single most exciting sector of the crypto market, with huge potential, incredible innovation, and of course, significant risks,” said Matt Hougan, chief investment officer, Bitwise. “We’re seeing huge demand from institutional and professional investors to learn about the space, and many are investing. The world needs a conference like Permissionless and needs it now.”
“DeFi is going to disrupt traditional finance in the same way that Amazon disrupted Sears. The writing is on the wall. It’s finance, but faster, cheaper, better,” said Hougan.
Introducing Permissionless
Permissionless is the one place where professional investors can learn what DeFi is, what it isn’t and what it could become.
