 <li>Lawmakers were divided on DeFi’s role in finance, with Republicans favoring peer-to-peer systems and Democrats focusing on risks.</li>
 <li>Critics argued DeFi facilitates tax evasion and scams, while supporters praised its potential for financial inclusion.</li>
 <li>The hearing underscored the urgent need for clear regulatory guidance as the DeFi sector continues to grow and evolve.</li>

Jake Chervinsky, a lawyer, expressed his emotions after the first-ever Congressional hearing on decentralized finance (<a href="https://coinedition.com/?s=DeFi" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DeFi</a>). He highlighted the significance of DeFi’s rise from a handful of projects to now being discussed in Washington, D.C. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/YEz4TgWNj-U?themeRefresh=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The hearing</a>, titled “Decoding DeFi: Breaking Down the Future of Decentralized Finance,” took place on September 10 under the House Financial Services Committee.
