We provide an overview of decentralized protocols like Compound and Aave that offer collateralized loans for cryptoasset investors. Compound and Aave are two of the most important application in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Using publicly available information on rates, supply and borrow activity, and accounts we analyze different elements of the protocols. In particular, we estimate ex-post margins that give a comprehensive account of the cost of financial intermediation. We find that ex-post margins considering all markets are 1% and lower for stablecoin markets. In addition, we estimate quarterly indicators regarding solvency, asset quality, earnings and market risk similar to the ones used in traditional banking. This provides a first look at the use of these metrics and a comparison between the similarities and challenges to our understanding of financial intermediation in these protocols based on tools used for traditional banking.
Este artículo da cuenta de la reflexión en torno a las dinámicas familiares como factor asociado a la reincidencia juvenil de conductas delictivas, producto de la investigación realizada en la ciudad de Popayán, Cauca, en el Instituto de Formación Toribio Maya con jóvenes que se encontraban privados de la libertad y que al momento de ser entrevistados hubiesen estado allí más de una vez. Para ello, se empleó una metodología cualitativa, desde el método de la teoría fundamentada, aspecto que permitió el abordaje desde lo cotidiano, entendiendo así sus posturas y particularidades para que, en conjunto con la teoría formal, pudiese develar que el fenómeno abordado es más complejo de lo imaginado.
