P2P financing is not new. But what happens when it is rebuilt on blockchain, powered by smart contracts, and structured without a traditional trustee? In this episode, we unpack how a DeFi-powered P2P model works, how it differs from conventional P2P platforms, and why this structure could reshape private credit for SMEs. This is the first part of our CEO Exchange Series, where we explore the legal, commercial, and regulatory realities behind institutional-grade DeFi. Join our Technology Practice Group Partners, Ong Johnson and Khai Yi Lo, together with host Zach Shaw and special guest Vincent Yeo, CEO & Co-Founder of PeerHive, as they explore: ✅ What DeFi P2P actually is and how it differs from traditional P2P financing ✅ How smart contracts can replace trustees in the execution layer ✅ Why removing intermediaries can improve cost and capital efficiency ✅ How blockchain enables tokenized loan transactions and automated settlement ✅ Where AML, KYC, and consumer protection fit into a decentralized structure ✅ Why regulatory alignment is critical for institutional adoption 💡 This episode makes one thing clear. DeFi P2P is not about speculation. It is about using blockchain and smart contracts to make private credit more efficient, transparent, and accessible, while remaining grounded in regulation and real-world safeguards.
