Content Summary

Binance is likely to be the first exchange to integrate a DeFi protocol. Kava is scheduled to bring it’s DeFi services to all Binance users. Users will be able to access DeFi services with less fees, friction, and at faster speeds. I expect more DeFi integrations to flood the CeFi space in the coming years. A company is building a two way bridge from Polkadot to Ethereum. A workable product will be deployed by September. Lastly, Tezos is working on DeFi integrations quietly. Learn what they’re up to by watching the video below.

DeFi Token of the Week [10:28]

Acala Network is a USD pegged stablecoin protocol. It’s essentially the Maker of the Polkadot ecosystem. The protocol includes other DeFi products and plans to add more in the future. It’s perhaps the biggest DeFi project currently being developed on Pokladot.

Remember #Bitcoin? Bakkt volumes just hit all-time high. CME open interest near all-time high. The institutions are slowly rolling in. Bitcoin taking off would blow the cap off this bull market.
