DeFi risks and the decentralisation illusion

Most of the "novel" crypto financial instruments aren't necessarily "novel" so much as "made illegal in a century ago because of fraud and scams".

Or at the very least "things with clear risks that crypto plebs are oblivious to"

Care to show one or two financial instruments that were claimed to be "novel" but were made "illegal a century ago"?

This is six and a half years old, wasn't about a novel defi instrument but about derivatives, and derivatives aren't illegal. They're also now well implemented in DeFi.
