The

resulted from a failure of basic risk management.
Had

used interest rate swaps to hedge their $120bn bond portfolio, the crisis would have been averted.
They had the tools but did not use them.
#IPOR
brings these tools to
#DeFi
.
...you enter into an interest rate swap: this time, you pay away a fixed yield and receive variable payments in exchange.
There you go: you received a fix rate when buying Treasuries and you pay a fixed rate in the swap – a hedge.
