Future Finance - Issue #113: Compound and Coinbase To Offer DeFi Savings Products to Normies, Twitter Drops Some NFTs And The ABCs Of DAOs
By Alan Tsen • Issue #113 • View online
Hi, FF fam! I trust you've all had a great week.
This week we saw Coinbase and Compound make moves to bring defi yields to fintech normies via savings products.
As competition continues to heat up in the consumer fintech space, products that allow users to access defi yields will be the next frontier for challenger banks as they look to differentiate their offerings. We're already seeing players like Current (see tweet below) lean in with what looks to be a product that provides access to Compound's high-yield interest rates. I can't wait to see this in the wild!
We also saw Twitter drop some fun NFTs on Rarible this week that caught everyone by surprise. My personal fav was the reply guy one. πŸ˜‚
And always, there's no shortage of news from the industry. So grab a coffee (or beer), and let's get into this week's news from the world of open and decentralised finance.
