CeFi is centralized finances. Banks and shit.
DeFi is replacing banks with smart contracts and blockchain tech that does the same thing as a bank would, but in a decentralized way.
BlockFi is a centralized exchange that also makes a card where you can load crypto into an account and use it as a Visa credit card for normie transactions, with conversion being done by them. They were about to go bankrupt a while back, but the FTX guy bailed them out. Now that daddy Sam can't prop them up anymore, they're crashing down.

Defi is cool. Like decentralized lending. Its like a bank except the entire balance sheet of the protocol is transparent, you can see all collateral and debts, everyone is held to the same rules without biased for big players. Liquidates are done constantly by third parties in an unbiased way so the protocol is extremely stable compared to trad banks.

Cefi is like a fake bank pretending to be a cool not-bank just because they support crypto. But its the same bank bullshit. Black box with no transparency into the financial health of the company. Just lies from the company about how super safe their are, while their balance sheet is absolute garbage. Secret back room deals can give big players leniency on getting liquidated and end up underwater which bankrupts everyone. Staggering negligence of managers lead to idiotic malinvestments instead of relying on free market signals like defi.

Use an addon, Bypass Paywalls.
Cryptocurrency lender BlockFi Inc. is preparing a potential bankruptcy filing after halting withdrawals of customer deposits and acknowledging it has “significant exposure” to bankrupt exchange FTX, people familiar with the matter said.

BlockFi paused withdrawals and limited activity on its platform last week, saying it couldn’t operate business as usual given the uncertainty about FTX. BlockFi is now planning to lay off some of its workers while the troubled firm prepares for a possible chapter 11 itself, people familiar with the matter said.

BlockFi didn’t respond to requests for comment. A bankruptcy filing would make Jersey City, N.J.-based BlockFi the latest casualty of the sudden collapse of Sam Bankman -Fried’s crypto empire, which comprises FTX, FTX US, trading firm Alameda Research and more than 100 affiliated entities.
