About

The IDC is for members to collaborate by sharing insights and expertise, whilst supporting the merging of traditional and new finance.
By uniting a selected group of experts from both worlds, the IDC sets the tone for thought-leadership-driven impact, positioning its members at the forefront of important conversations.

The progression ofDeFi and its connection to the traditional space are at the heart of the IDC. We want our members to connect with each other and evolve our knowledge base, driving the future of finance.

Focus

The IDC’s primary focus is to provide meaningful input on the biggest challenges to overcome the adoption of DeFi within the TradFi space.

DeFi Risk Management

The blockchain industry is strongly influenced by risk. The IDC discusses how such risks can be handled in a manner that enables businesses and individuals to securely and compliantly use blockchain solutions.

DeFi Securatization

How can DeFi solutions be presented to the TradFi world in a manner that is compatible with the existing paradigms? Regulated TradFi derivative offerings, which include DeFi yield, will bring significant benefits to both ecosystems and amplify adoption.

DeFi (Banking) aaS

DeFi holds immense promise, but is still far from garnering mass adoption with TradFi and retail. It is in the hands of finance entities, both TradFi and DeFi, to build the tools needed to onboard the masses.
