Matthew Liu, Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at Synfutures, recently engaged in a thought-provoking interview with The Silicon Dreams, providing profound insights into the transformative landscape of decentralized finance (Decentralized Finance ) and DLT technology. 

Liu's extensive background in traditional finance, coupled with his pivotal role in establishing DLT-based platforms, offers a unique perspective on the evolution of Web3. Reflecting on his journey from trading roles at Deutsche Bank and General Motors to spearheading DLT initiatives at Ant Financial, Liu underscores the crucial need for transparent and accessible financial infrastructure in today's dynamic market. 

"In the realm of Decentralized Finance, navigating through challenges requires a blend of luck, skill, and experience," Liu commented. "Prudent treasury management is paramount, especially amidst the uncertainties prevalent in the digital space." 

Sharing insights into his involvement in establishing a consortium DLT-based platform for cross-border SME trade finance, Liu emphasizes the platform's role in addressing challenges in large-volume B2B transactions on a global scale.
