   Ownership of Assets: Traders have complete control over their funds with non-custodial wallets.

 4. Risks and Challenges of DeFi for Traders

     Security Concerns: Smart contract vulnerabilities and hacks in the DeFi space.

    Volatility: The highly volatile nature of cryptocurrencies used in DeFi protocols.

     Regulatory Uncertainty: The potential impact of future regulations on DeFi trading.

     Liquidity Issues: Some DeFi protocols still suffer from low liquidity, affecting market stability.

 5. The Future of  DeFi : What’s Next?

     Scaling and Interoperability: How cross-chain platforms and Layer 2 solutions like Optimism and           ZK-rollups can improve DeFi scalability.
