Building DeFi Yield Curves & Unlocking New Real-World Use-Cases
06-01, 15:00–15:25 (Europe/Prague), Leaf Stage

I would like to shed light on a critical aspect that I believe is currently missing in DeFi – yield curves that can unlock real-world, real-life use cases, from RWAs to cheap remittances to mortgages. It’s about time DeFi is used for more than just leverage & speculation.


While DeFi has thrived in trading and farming, the absence of a strong foundation akin to traditional finance hinders its potential. The TradFi world would collapse if US Treasury markets disappeared tomorrow, yet that is where DeFi finds itself today. Scalable Fixed-Income markets offer opportunities to develop Forward Markets, thereby enhancing Options and Derivatives, creating Structured Products and unlocking a whole new world of real-life opportunities: present & future payments, cheap remittances to onboard new users, Real-World Asset tokenization & second order use-cases, Mortgages as well as healthy borrowing & lending solutions for the non-crypto native masses.
Recognizing this gap, Term Structure is on a mission to contribute to the development of yield curves within DeFi. As a speaker we are eager to leverage the platform to raise awareness and foster collaboration within the community, propelling DeFi forward.
