Cardano Founder Predicts DeFi Will Replace Banks

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson made a satirical remark in which he applauded the demise of five major banks and predicted that digital assets and decentralized finance [DeFi] would soon replace the current financial system.

Hoskinson wrote in his tweet: “If only we had a different way to run a banking system…if only we had a different kind of money.”

His tweets come in the wake of the numerous US bank collapses that set off a global financial crisis and have turned the spotlight on new decentralized alternatives.

Earlier in March, the Cardano founder shared his view on the unstable and volatile banks and how crypto ought to detach itself from these traditional legacy institutions.

Regarding Hoskinson’s suggestion to restrict using banks, he emphasized how cryptocurrencies have the potential to create fresh, decentralized alternatives to current financial infrastructure.

It will be interesting to see how the industry handles the regulatory environment as it develops and creates new decentralized financial systems.

Hoskinson in the past urged the crypto community to exercise caution during the banking crisis. In a tweet, the Cardano founder warned crypto investors to avoid over-collateralizing their holdings as they wait for the market to stabilize.
