Amanda Shoffel, General Manager & CCO at Bitstamp UK joins FF News’ Douglas Mackenzie for a virtual discussion about the world of cryptocurrency. In this video, Amanda gives us her insight into how the pandemic changed people’s outlook on crypto assets and the world of decentralised finance.

“I think the pandemic in general just honestly game people a lot more time at home to look into things that they hadn’t previously and a lot more opportunity. So, I think across the board there was a spike in interest around Ce-Fi, De-Fi and crypto.”

“I think the barriers to entry are greater in De-Fi. I think having people figure out smart contracts and decentralized pools and how to access everything is a bit more difficult than in Ce-Fi at the moment.”
