A study by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) found that decentralised finance (DeFi) projects and their respective ecosystems offer both potential opportunities and risks to the US financial system.
To address these risks, the CFTC report suggests conducting a gap analysis to assess the current capabilities and capacities.
The report also recommends addressing critical gaps by allocating more funding, personnel, and tools.
The findings underline the growing significance of DeFi in the broader financial landscape and the need for further research and appropriate regulations.
