What is Happening? Cake DeFi has around $317 million in rewards to its customers as of the end of Q1 2022 to become one of the fastest-growing DeFi platforms in Asia - Cake DeFi has seen business growth of 90% quarter on quarter since 2019! The next phase for Cake DeFi expansion is providing access to DeFi and Web3 offerings to institutional investors and companies through technology offerings that focus on cybersecurity and technological innovation, such as tokenized stocks and on-ramp and off-ramp fiat to crypto offerings for onboarding to the DeFi ecosystem. paid According to Dr. Julian Hosp: It is our ambition to list Cake DeFi on a public stock exchange in the near future. We were offered a SPAC merger at US$1.5 billion but we had turned it down earlier in the year. : Vested Interest Disclosure The author is an independent contributor publishing via our . Be it through direct compensation, media partnerships, or networking, the author has a vested interest in the company/ies mentioned in this story.  HackerNoon has reviewed the story for quality, but the claims hereon belong to the author. #DYOR brand-as-author program What is Cake DeFi? Founded by a team of financial experts, Cake DeFi is an open and accessible, innovative platform that provides access to decentralized financial services and apps to retail and institutional customers. The company is registered and operated in Singapore ( ) and is subject to the laws and regulations of Singapore. the hub for fintech Cake DeFi strives to educate and teach people across the globe about crypto and DeFi in a simple, easy to comprehend, and hassle-free way. Cake DeFi has been granted permission to provide and operate bitcoin custodial wallets and exchange services in Lithuania. By doing this, Cake DeFi will be able to register and be authorized as a cryptocurrency in other EEA member states and the EU when implementing the EU Markets in Crypto-assets (MiCA) regulations. Why Should you Care about Crypto Payouts? DeFi products such as digital assets-based lending products or staking are an excellent way to earn passive income. However, it requires a considerable amount of research as it is a common consensus that generating passive income with cryptocurrency is a fantastic method to increase your net worth, but users also need first to assess their current financial situation, risk capacity, and way of life given that a lot of such products offer unsustainable returns or have bad cyber security which can lead to loss of capital. As a user interested in passive cryptocurrency, one would have probably heard that the best time to start saving is as soon as possible since it DeFi passive income products often require more market experience. With virtual assets upwards of US$1 billion in client assets and over a million registered users, Cake DeFi is one of such companies assisting both seasoned investors and those new to cryptocurrency and digital assets to profit from their investments through passive income focused DeFi product offering such as staking, digital assets based lending and trading in digital assets or tokenized stocks with more than $317 million in payouts - an excellent way to build passive income. However, first, for a user, it is critical to understand whether one should use DeFi products depends on their knowledge of the technology, risk capacity, goals, strategy and research. Due to this, it is critical for digital asset users to use services from established digital asset service providers with a good reputation and capital risk management procedures to minimize the risk of any black swan event. For example, Cake DeFi coordinates its business development and technological offerings with the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) larger vision to develop Singapore’s crypto and decentralized ecosystem, with compliance as a design being its focus - this creates a reputation in the market with a focus on product integrity and sound risk management. The MAS has exempted Cake DeFi under the Payment Services (Exemption for Specified Period) Regulations 2019, which permits it to keep functioning in and from Singapore until the MAS processes its application for a licence to conduct digital payment token services. It is critical for users to do their research and determine whether the crypto companies are working with regulators hand in hand to provide services that are robust and trusted in nature with capital and risk management controls and procedures - as regulations are not bad for DeFi! With so many rugs pulls and DeFi products whose APY is not sustainable in nature. It is critical for crypto users to choose offerings that are transparent, open and compliant in nature - this means placing your trust in your research and determining whether the product offerings that are being provided are cyber secure, sustainable and have a healthy track record. With DeFi companies paying millions in rewards this is an excellent opportunity. However, it is an opportunity that requires due diligence, research and knowledge for maximum wealth capitalization. How is DeFi Impacting Traditional Finance Decentralized financial protocols like digital assets based lending, DAOs and synthetic assets have opened up a world of new economic possibilities. A coordinated effort is being undertaken to develop a blockchain-based financial system that is accessible, resilient, and open. For example, DEXs allow peer-to-peer transactions without a central authority which adds an additional layer of benefit as exchanges never own crypto assets or private keys. This reduces the risk of hacks or thefts from a single point of failure, such as a centralized wallet. Peer-to-peer lending and borrowing are popular DeFi applications provided by the likes of Cake DeFi,  Argent, and Dharma. They employ the algorithmic autonomous interest rate based protocol to provide a variable yield to customers by performing lending the underlying virtual assets to receive interest. This decentralized form of lending allows customers to earn yield from their existing virtual assets that are not put to use. to Forbes, through the use of peer-to-peer trades, DeFi aims to undermine the current centralized financial system by removing the power from intermediaries and gatekeepers. As a result of eliminating the middleman and creating digital assets with monetary worth, DeFi has a bright future ahead of it. According Final Thoughts on Cake DeFi $317 Million Payout DeFi protocols such as Cake DeFi paying out $317 million is great news! The more positive thing for the crypto industry, in my opinion, is that blockchain startups such as Cake DeFi are looking to get regulated and provide value to customers by being in an environment built on transparency, openness, and trust. Suppose companies such as Cake DeFi continue to pay considerable amounts to their customers and build a framework focused on compliance as a design. In that case, the days of DeFi taking over the world are not far away! Don’t forget to share and like the story! Image credits: , and amirali mirhashemian. Bryam Blanco David Holifield

Cake DeFi has Given Out $317 Million in Rewards as of Q1 2022

Cake DeFi ha entregado $ 317 millones en recompensas a partir del primer trimestre de 2022

Cake DeFi launches a $100 Million Venture Arm , a Singapore-based DeFi platform that provides decentralized financial services and apps available to everyone, has announced the creation of its venture-capital arm, which will invest US$100 million in the tech ecosystem. Cake DeFi Ventures (CDV) will invest in Web3, metaverse, NFT, gaming, esports, and fintech firms to provide synergistic value to Cake’s core business. CDV  is based in Singapore and will search for global investment possibilities in companies all around the globe. Cake DeFi Julian Hosp, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cake DeFi, said: By launching Cake DeFi Ventures, we strive towards bringing cryptocurrency and blockchain capabilities to the world. With Cake's current status as Singapore's and Southeast Asia's fastest-growing platform, projects which we invest in can expect to receive strong support scaling globally. Cake DeFi co-founders Dr Julian Hosp, CEO, and U-Zyn Chua, CTO, lead CDV. Dr Hosp is a seasoned blockchain entrepreneur who is generally considered a top influencer in the crypto and blockchain field, having over one million followers across all of his platforms. By 2025, he wants a billion people to be aware of and comprehend blockchain technology. U-Zyn has been designing and developing decentralized systems for over a decade as a blockchain engineer, enthusiast, and investor. They founded cake DeFi as the world’s top investment platform for DeFi and other up-and-coming alternative assets based in Singapore. Cake DeFi will provide substantial assistance to CDV portfolio firms. They will have access to various Cake products, connections, users, resources, and knowledge in the global blockchain market. Last year, Cake gave out more than $230 million in prizes to its subscribers, and it expects to pay out more than $400 million in 2022. Cake allows users to gain cash flow from their digital asset investments via features like lending, staking, and liquidity mining. What is Liquidity Mining? On-chain activity has exploded as a result of the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) rise in 2021. VCs are investing billions of dollars in the digital assets industry. The volume on DEX can compete with the volume on controlled exchanges such as Binance, FTX, Coinbase and Gate.io. According to reports, DeFi protocols are expected to be worth around 15 billion USD by December 2020. New sorts of items are increasingly entering the ecosystem. One of the core technologies in the present DeFi ecosystem is liquidity pools. They’re used in automated market makers (AMM), borrow-lend protocols, yield farming, synthetic assets, on-chain insurance, and blockchain gaming, to name a few examples. A liquidity pool is essentially a sizeable digital programmable pool of money deposited in a smart contract. They allow for decentralized trading of virtual assets, lending, and yield production through liquidity mining among other things. Smart contracts now fuel practically every aspect of DeFi and will most likely continue to do so in the future. Catch all the breaking news, and Don’t forget to like the story! Image credits: and .

Cake DeFi Launches New Corporate Venture Arm with $100 Million to Invest in Web 3 Ecosystem

DAVOS/SWITZERLAND, 23JAN13 — James Dimon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, JPMorgan Chase & Co., USA is listens during the session ‘The Global Financial Context — Reinforcing Critical Systems’ at the Annual Meeting 2013 of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, January 23, 2013 (Copyright by World Economic Forum. . swiss-image.ch/Photo Remy Steinegger) While announcing his upcoming keynote speaking engagement, legendary computer scientist, successful blockchain and cryptocurrency investor, John McAfee, taunts JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon and challenges him to an onstage duel, to debate blockchain, ethereum, cryptocurrency and new tokens like Replay Token ( ). http://www.replaytoken.com Look at RePlay Token ( ) http://www.replaytoken.com In a city best known for boxers pummeling each other in the 1980’s and 1990’s, McAfee offered a new fight to take place on the stage of Harrah’s Atlantic city at the , and they promise thousands of eager cryptocurrency investors will be in attendance. Blockchain World Conference Not since the fisticuffs of George Foreman, Evander Holifield, Mike Tyson, James “Buster” Douglas, Leon Spinks, Arturo Gatti and others graced the stages in Atlantic City, have we seen any braggadocios challenge like this one coming from McAfee. speaking at Politicon in Pasadena, California. ( Photo: Gage Skidmore) John McAfee John McAfee said, “You don’t have to hang yourself!” In a YouTube video ( )posted on the Blockchain World Conference website, McAfee immediately fires off jabs at those whom he considers his opponents. He takes direct aim at Dimon offering a bare-knuckled billionaire brawl, while staring directly into the camera and telling Dimon, “You don’t have to hang yourself!” https://youtu.be/VYY4G8bKPzs “If you’re stupid enough to buy it, you’ll pay the price for it one day,” Jamie Dimon said in response to a moderator question at an Institute of International Finance conference, according to CNBC. Many people in the cryptocurrency community were angry when Dimon stated that he believed that Bitcoin was a fraud. He later recanted that remark, As told by CNBC, Dimon stated on Fox Business that “I regret making that comment. “The blockchain is real,” Dimon added in the interview. He went on further to state that you have look at every ICO individually. Look at RePlay Token ( ) http://www.replaytoken.com It is easy to see why he recanted. With the intense demand of initial coin offerings, digital currency sales were $13.7 billion during the first half of 2018, more than double what was raised by ICO’s last year, according to Investopedia, quoting a report released by PwC consulting firm and Switzerland’s Crypto Valley Association. He could see the writing on the wall. McAfee is seen by some in this community as a gallant fighter for the rights of cryptocurrency against the invading hoard of aging wind bag bankers. According to Wikipedia, McAfee was the founder of what is considered to be the first commercial software company, McAfee and Associates, after he had successful stints with NASA, Univac, Xerox, Computer Sciences Corp and Lockheed among the notable companies he worked. According to the Blockchain World Conference (BWC) YouTube page, they have “invited both McAfee and Dimon to the BWC.” It remains to be seen if Dimon will respond to McAfee. If he does he should bring some gloves and some smelling salts with him. Just in case, you know… #blockchain #cryptocurrency #investor #bitcoin #McAfee #Dimon #ethereum #ICO #replaytoken #crypto #btc #market #eth #altcoin #business Hackernoon
