Crypto: The Rise of Smart Contracts and DeFi

Cryptocurrency continues to be a revolutionary force in the financial sector. 2025 has seen an explosive rise in DeFi (Decentralized Finance) platforms, which enable users to borrow, lend, and trade without intermediaries like banks. One of the standout features of the year is Smart Contracts—self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into lines of code. These innovations are reshaping how we think about traditional financial systems and opening doors to new forms of investment.
