Decentralized Finance(Defi) has managed to grab the attention of the world with its mammoth rise, primarily because of the passive income opportunities that it offers. Defi ecosystem also makes great use of the stablecoins which once was seen as just an onboarding tool. The ecosystem has excellent potential to be utilized in the different economic fields, and Forex i.e. Foreign Currency and Exchange (FX) is emerging as one of the key sectors where defi can play a crucial role.
