In the past, financial services have always been provided by what we customarily think of as financial institutions — banks, credit card companies, even insurance companies. However, it’s become increasingly common for non-financial companies to become the distributors of financial services, thanks to embedded finance, AKA finance enablers.

Industries develop over time and when they mature, they tend to become more specialized. That’s what is currently happening with the FinTech industry and financial service in general. It’s entering a new phase of division and specialization.

In this series, we will compare different types of DAO with specific examples, examine the difference between DAO and traditional organizations in a deep analysis, clarify some misunderstandings, and explore the future potential of DAO, so be sure to stay tuned.
