Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
Defi is a broad category of smart-contracts which loosely correspond to digital contracts running on a blockchain which allow users to create collateralized loans out of stablecoin and which have side payouts in so-called "governance tokens".
DeFi generally refers to a collection of services which offer lending products offered by non-banks and which exist outside the regulatory perimeter as a form regulatory-arbitrage and to fund margin trading activities to speculaate on crypto assets.
