 <li>Lawmakers were divided on DeFi’s role in finance, with Republicans favoring peer-to-peer systems and Democrats focusing on risks.</li>
 <li>Critics argued DeFi facilitates tax evasion and scams, while supporters praised its potential for financial inclusion.</li>
 <li>The hearing underscored the urgent need for clear regulatory guidance as the DeFi sector continues to grow and evolve.</li>

Jake Chervinsky, a lawyer, expressed his emotions after the first-ever Congressional hearing on decentralized finance (<a href="https://coinedition.com/?s=DeFi" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DeFi</a>).
