Dear Bankless Nation,
If you can't beat em join em.
The banks are coming to DeFi now. 🤯
The third largest bank in France just posted on the MakerDAO governance forums to get their collateral approved for loans.
This is the first example of a major bank submitting an application for a financial relationship with a DeFi protocol. The loan would be for up to $20 million in DAI, and would use on-chain bond tokens issued by the bank as collateral. These tokens were issued in 2020, with a fixed rate of 0%, a AAA rating from Moody’s and Fitch, and mature in 2025.
This isn’t just a bank using DeFi.
This is a bank actually building on DeFi.
Forget the loan value for a min. $20M is peanuts. Think about what’s going on here:
An institution is integrating a DeFi protocol into its financial products
A bank is coordinating with a DAO. No backchanneling, just forum proposals.
Regulated initiatives 🤝 Open-source initiatives
DeFi is the future of France. Vive la révolution. 🇫🇷
Oh…and we talk all about this on Monday’s podcast with Rune Christensen, the founder of Maker.

Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face. It's hard to know how to get started. Trading the Crypto market has really been a life changer for me. I almost gave up on crypto currency at some point not until I got a proficient trader Carlos Wilfred, he gave me all the information required to succeed in trading. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I'm not here to converse much but to share my testimony, I invested $500.00 and got back $4500.00 within 3 days of investment. His strategies and signals are the best and I have gained more knowledge.
