Hirander Misra will talk about one of the key transformative trends happening in the financial sector during his talk, ‘Can Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) converge to create Hybrid Finance?’

As traditional finance (TradFi), new centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions are slowly converging, can the era of hybrid finance (HyFi) emerge? What will this mean for the existing infrastructure on the traditional side – will fragmented elements such as banks and asset managers come together with multiple blockchain networks come together to form a cohesive whole?
