The decentralized finance (DeFi) lending in the United States is experiencing a downfall currently, therefore, to help it out, a group of major trading and crypto companies have come together and introduced Chicago DeFi Alliance (CDA).

On April 07, 2020, the CDA was <a href="https://medium.com/volt-capital/announcing-the-chicago-defi-alliance-b66de98de1a4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched</a> to help the DeFi-focused startups and entrepreneurs and guide them in complying with regulations.
<h2>Founding Members Of CDA</h2>
The founding member of CDA, Volt Capital, in its blog post revealed the names of some major companies who are the part of alliance i.e., TD Ameritrade, CMT Digital, Compound Finance, DV Trading and Arca.

According to a report, the CDA would help the startups in market makers, liquidity, product feedback, professionalized traders and talent.

The CDA would not only help the startups with expertise but also would improve their liquidity and also comply with regulatory requirements.
