Where is DeFi now and where is it going?: As of November 2021, there were around $80 billion in assets tied up in decentralized systems, most of it being cryptocurrencies. Pundits are predicting this number could grow tenfold over the coming year as crypto becomes a more mainstream option and more other assets flow into DeFi platforms.Who are we targeting: This book is primarily for current professionals or active investors in the world of finance who are looking for insight on how to use and profit from DeFi. The audience is similar to the readers who flocked to the first editions of Blockchain For Dummies (current edition ISBN - 9781119555018) and Bitcoin For Dummies (current edition ISBN - 9781119076131, new edition publishing March 2022) to gain insight on the emerging trends.
