Backers say the technology offers cheaper and more efficient access to financial services.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-2\" class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__dark-grey___AS2I_p Text__regular___Bh17t- Text__large___1i0u1F Body__base___25kqPt Body__large_body___3g04wK ArticleBody__element___3UrnEs\">Cash has poured into DeFi sites this year, mirroring the explosion of interest in cryptocurrencies as a whole. Many investors, facing historically low or sub-zero interest rates, are drawn to DeFi by the promise of high returns on savings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"RegistrationPrompt__container___1zFX4Y RegistrationPrompt__inline___1dXxON ArticleBody__mobile-only___2w_rXL\">\n<div class=\"RegistrationPrompt__text-content___2uMAHH\">\n<h5 class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__white___2ncio9 Text__medium___1ocDap Text__heading_5___3obGkm Heading__base___1dDlXY Heading__heading_5___3VJIV0 RegistrationPrompt__heading___wc_GPj\">Register now for FREE unlimited access to reuters.com<\/h5>\n<p><button class=\"Button__button___3FFWBE Button__secondary___jc-Lu5 Button__round___1BK77J RegistrationPrompt__button-text___3ZNlNC\" type=\"button\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__inherit-color___30vgWE Text__bold___2wRTrQ Text__default___1Xh7Yh TextButton__medium___1vp1Wy\">Register<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-3\" class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__dark-grey___AS2I_p Text__regular___Bh17t- Text__large___1i0u1F Body__base___25kqPt Body__large_body___3g04wK ArticleBody__element___3UrnEs\">Yet crime is also booming in the mostly unregulated sector, according to London-based blockchain analytics firm Elliptic. Users have suffered over $12 billion in losses through crime at DeFi apps, lending platforms and exchanges since 2020, with the majority of losses coming in 2021 alone, it found.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-4\" class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__dark-grey___AS2I_p Text__regular___Bh17t- Text__large___1i0u1F Body__base___25kqPt Body__large_body___3g04wK ArticleBody__element___3UrnEs\">Bugs in code and design flaws allow criminals to target DeFi sites, Elliptic found, with deep pools of liquidity also allowing criminals to launder proceeds of crime while leaving few traces. Scams are also common, it added.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-5\" class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__dark-grey___AS2I_p Text__regular___Bh17t- Text__large___1i0u1F Body__base___25kqPt

Elliptic&#8217;s Tom Robinson. &#8220;But you must still trust that the creators of the protocol have not made a coding or design mistake that could lead to a loss of funds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p
