X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>Crypto is more than Bitcoin or Ethereum. W
 ith Decentralized Finance\, referred to as “DeFi\,” everyone has access to 
 digital assets through a public blockchain network. In a single year\, inve
 stors who "stake" cryptocurrency can earn significant returns on their coll
 ateral and some DeFi assets have increased more than 200% in value. Investo
 r appeal and activity are increasing while\, until recently\, regulation an
 d oversight have been negligible or non-existent.</p><p>It’s no wonder that
  well established hedge fund and private equity managers are launching cryp
 tocurrency funds and FinTech companies. Market participants – including tra
 ditional banks\, brokerage houses and investment banks – are gauging how th
 ey might be affected or even disintermediated as blockchain and DeFi could 
 take market share from them.</p><p>We invite you to join us for an insight-
 filled webinar on DeFi in which our specialists and a leading crypto-innova
 tor introduce this dynamic new investment vehicle\, explore what you need t
 o know and forecast how it could change the investment arena.</p><p><strong
