Another affordable option are open-source crypto exchange software kits and/or DeFi solutions

Just search 'open-source crypto exchange'.

Simon, there isn't any video on NFT white-labels from what I could find but click here view YouTube channel that teaches related crypto areas.

Also should include coins and tokens that actually connect to open-source blockchains which translates into real-time deposit and withdrawals that settle in minutes globally. That's what is missing from exchanges and trading brokers/exchanges these days--no crypto withdrawal.

Good news is that the tools to upgrade exchanges are already out there.

Great piece, probably should go in 'DeFi group' or 'DeFi' group.

Good breakdown of DeFi elements, im planning on sharing article myself too. Will share once done.

To the comment above, that sounds like a typical retirement fund stratagy, just let the passive investment do its thing!

But the pull of active investment and its massive gains is just too attractive.

What about Tesla, tech and especially since crypto, these passive funds invest in the most slow and low yeilding investments.

Lot of great points here and I think you summerized many of the same conerns: privacy and incentives.

I also think native crypto are already on a roll and will be very hard to compete with now. I do think some 'force' is going to be required to get peope to use CBDCs.

The other way gain transaction is to give out generous free money, stimuls or UBI (insert creative name) through CBDCs. That is what China did, just hand out free money--who is going to say no?

I'm sure there was talks behind the scenes to bring it back home to the US. Make America great again kind of thing.

Better to have it at home then abroad even if it may break the current system.

Yeah, it is a loss loss to people that use CBDC as above comment suggests.

The only way see CBDC getting adopted is through force or through free money handouts or both.

In this article goes into the seemingly impossible privacy issue with CBDC and countries bending the currency towards their greatest need (surveillance + automatic TAX collection): https://www.finextra.com/blogposting/20249/middle-eastern-central-bank-digital-currencies-and-the-world

@Francesca Musk may have tipped his hand that he wants that government subsidy but I tend to agree probably still early and a good time to get in.

Stablecoins are the new fiat currency / national curreny system and these 'CeDeFi - the blended offering' are going to drive them forward in my opinion.

But what if people just use stablecoins directly without card payment processors (CeDeFi). This would make the crypto native platforms in a prime position to compete in payments I believe.
