Hey everyone,

When it comes to exciting decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, there are several worth mentioning like LIDO, Rocket Pool, MakerDAO, and Aave. However, one project that’s really catching attention right now is DeFi ($DEFI). As the first cross-chain decentralized security network, it’s dedicated to ensuring the safety of the DeFi ecosystem. By actively monitoring and raising awareness about potential risks, DeFi ($DEFI) protects users from scams and malicious activities. Its utility token, $DEFI, is currently available on Bitget and other centralized exchanges (CEXs). Personally, I’m considering investing in DEFI tokens for the upcoming bull run.

I used to be a frequent investor until I lost my money. I strongly advise against investing with them. Their rating system (KredX rating) is deeply flawed, and I have no idea how it’s calculated. The deal I invested in was supposedly rated as good, yet I lost my entire investment with no way to recoup it. Despite promises of legal proceedings, I’ve received nothing but false hope. Losing your entire capital, especially when the minimum investment is 3 lakhs, is devastating for anyone who has worked hard for their money. Their account executives frequently change, making it difficult to get updates on the status of your money. I question their practices and believe they don’t deserve our investments until they can accurately assess a company’s potential before soliciting funds. I spent sleepless nights for 5 months hoping to get my money back, but it seems unlikely to happen.

Cryptocurrency serves as a digital medium of exchange, distinct from traditional currencies in that it isn’t controlled by any country’s central authority. In recent years, it has seen a surge in popularity among the general public. The benefits of using digital cryptocurrencies include:

Global Acceptance: Cryptocurrencies operate independently of traditional banking systems, unaffected by exchange rates, interest rates, or other financial charges. This simplifies and facilitates cross-border transactions without the complications of currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Enhanced Security: Cryptocurrencies employ a ‘push’ mechanism that allows the holder to send precisely what they intend to the recipient, backed by robust encryption to prevent fraud and unauthorized account access, thus ensuring user privacy.

Elimination of Intermediaries: The absence of middlemen in transactions makes the process quicker, cheaper, and less complex. Cryptocurrency transactions often come with reduced paperwork and lower or nonexistent fees for brokerage and commissions, granting users full control over their funds.

Privacy and Confidentiality: Unlike traditional cash or credit transactions that might involve banking and credit entities monitoring your financial activities, cryptocurrency transactions are direct exchanges between two parties. This setup allows for selective information sharing, keeping transactions private and financial histories secure.

The legal and regulatory framework for bank-mediated finance is multi-faceted and can be complex. In most countries, there are three main types of regulatory measures that govern banking:

Systemic regulations, also known as macro-prudential regulations, cover a range of measures aimed at identifying and reducing risks to the overall stability of the financial system. Prudential regulations, also known as micro-prudential regulations, cover measures primarily focused on maintaining the stability of individual financial institutions.

Non-prudential regulations, which include all other financial regulations that are implemented regardless of the financial health of an institution or the integrity of the system.

In my opinion, trade finance is a niche field within the larger fields of corporate finance and banking.

Which begs the question, how does one go about establishing a professional foothold in the field of trade finance?

1. The first is to apply to a big commercial or investment bank since these institutions are the most active recruiters of new graduates.
2. The portion of trade finance that is focused on technology has expanded and improved greatly, as has the surrounding technology. There are a variety of benefits to being involved in this field.
3. Work for a big management consulting firm like EY or KPMG to get into the trade finance industry. Career prospects exist since they provide trade finance advice services to clients.
4. Other types of corporations also need experts in trade finance. The most glaring example is the commodity industry, but huge corporations that sell and/or buy commodities also often employ trade finance experts.

Hai,
Compliance regulations have a very real effect on how trade finance transactions happen. At the forefront of international compliance regulations are the rules known as Know Your Customer or KYC.

Before a trade finance provider can proceed with a transaction, it must obtain a lengthy list of documents from its customer, investigate its legal structure, screen for politically exposed persons (Peps), score and classify risk, and archive the reviewed documents. Getting hold of the required documents can be challenging.

Transactions also undergo anti-money laundering (AML) scans in real time for sanctions violations and suspected money laundering, with many parties investigating alerts and reporting to the relevant authorities.
