ACPR presents its analysis of the risks and challenges facing decentralized finance (DéFi).
It is based on a series of interviews conducted with the ecosystem. While not representing - as yet - a threat to the stability of the financial system, the ACPR considers that DeFi intrinsically presents risks that need to be identified and limited.
The ACPR's analysis is based on a multi-layered model of DéFi, and identifies the risks specific to each layer. This document and the comments made on it will contribute to ongoing discussions, particularly at European level, in the wake of the MiCA regulation, which calls for a report to be drawn up within 18 months of its entry into force, assessing, among other things, the benefits and procedures of European regulation of disintermediated finance.

The document outlines the strengths and limitations of two main models: "Hub & spoke" on the one hand, and "Common platform" on the other.
