The House Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology and Inclusion, led by Chairman French Hill, held a hearing on Tuesday, titled “Decoding Defi: Breaking Down the Future of Decentralized Finance.” The session is part of ongoing efforts to explore the potential and risks associated with decentralized finance (defi) technologies.

In his opening remarks, Congressman Hill emphasized the importance of understanding defi’s transformative potential for financial markets. He described defi as a “financial system that is permissionless, transparent, and efficient, built on blockchain networks.” According to Hill, the goal is to examine both the benefits and the challenges of defi. He explained:

It’s important to remember that our regulatory and legal frameworks were designed for a financial system with centralized intermediaries. It doesn’t contemplate the decentralized, peer-to-peer ecosystem made possible with digital assets and blockchain.

Hill noted that legislation like the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) was aimed at further studying these decentralized ecosystems.

The lawmaker also criticized the Biden administration’s approach to regulating the crypto sector, arguing that regulatory actions threaten defi’s future. He stressed:

The Biden-Harris Administration uses rulemaking and enforcement actions to go after defi.

He encouraged members of Congress to engage in open dialogue to determine how to regulate this technology while supporting innovation.
