He also goes into details on stablecoins and how it provides as a catalyst for the use of DeFi. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that are backed by the value of a fiat currency such as the US dollar, or a cryptocurrency.

Such as a bank, institution, or a brokerage. There is a single party or a single location that is in control of the transaction.
