DeFi is growing and is quickly on its way to becoming a new financial paradigm, yet there are financial risks in DeFi that manifest in new ways that we haven’t seen in the traditional financial system:


Interconnections with the      traditional financial system,
Operational risks stemming from      underlying blockchains
Smart contract-based      vulnerabilities
Other governance and regulatory      risks
Scalability challenges.

In an effort to remove humans and automate as much as possible through smart contracts, DeFi has introduced or amplified these risks. This paper explores all of these aspects.

Enjoy!

"I'll take the opposed, in that I think there is decent precedent to find ETH to not be a security in a post-merge environment.  Let's breakdown some specifics:"

In this readthrough I'm going to Twitter for the first time to read a 43 long tweet thread (yup - 43 tweets) by @adamscochran, aka Adam Cochran, Partner at CEHV and Adj. Professor of Info Sci/Biz Analysis. He analyzes whether Ethereum's shift to Proof of Stake makes it eligible to be names a security by the SEC and analyzes Ethereum vs the Howie test, previous rulings in the US court system and theories of what different staking make ups could lead to.

IT'S MERGE WEEK!

To celebrate I'm going back to the OG episode for this podcast - Vitalik's article on Why Proof of Stake!

On Nov 6th 2020 Vitalik Buterin wrote a short article on why the Ethereum ecosystem is migrating to Proof of Stake (PoS). Despite the shift being planned for years there's a lot of discussion in the ecosystem on why Ethereum is doing this, what are the benefits to PoS over Proof of Work (PoW) and whether this migration is fair to all the players in the ecosystem.
