Key points:

  • Tradfi money is moving into DeFi, but clients remain hesitant because of concerns over safety, security and transparency.
  • The company sees an opportunity to service clients by providing direct integration with DeFi protocols.
  • While traditionally retail focused, Cake DeFi is branching out by building enterprise solutions, providing venture capital and investing in R&D.
