Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller believes that DeFi has brought new technologies that can improve efficiency, but it cannot substitute for the complex and trusted systems that centralized finance has developed over centuries.
He noted that these technologies could be especially useful for tasks such as recordkeeping in a 24/7 trading environment. For instance, smart contracts can automatically execute complex transactions by ensuring all terms are met, potentially reducing the settlement risks typically associated with manual processes.
