Something to add
August has been an exciting month. We have been learning more and more the DeFi ecosystem. I’m seeing people being more aware about finance thanks to their interest in crypto. The advantage of an existing brands like WazirX getting into DeFi is that we can onboard hundreds and thousands of new users to DeFi. That’s a powerful way to grow the entire crypto ecosystem. Exciting times lie ahead!
