One straightforward example, to my knowledge, is that its easier to make near instant global payments for negligible fees with certain blockchains, than by using the existing interbank system.what are you able to do with crypto finance that youre not able to do with normal finance? what's the use case for this stuff, atm? leveraged crypto trades? something else?
Also, just the general fact that financial data can be stored on a public and almost immutable ledger really changes the dynamics of trust. Thats what I think the central innovation of bitcoin is, that we now have the technical means, despite Bitcoin's other incidental inadequacies as a system of commerce, to engage in a trustless economy. Or rather, just to trust the code itself, which is open source.
But beyond that, as Bitcoin itself doesn't natively support smart contracts, the fact that you can enshrine financial commitments in code, and again in a publicly visible database, also shifts the status quo of financial trust.
