Agarwal highlights how DeFi could revolutionize the financial sector by offering services like lending, borrowing, and trading without traditional intermediaries, thereby reducing costs and increasing accessibility. He emphasizes the potential of blockchain technology to foster financial inclusion, particularly in rural areas where banking services are limited.
