"as safe as money in the bank"
I think you're conflating these defi platforms as banks, they are not - they are risk ladden investment platforms as listed on the website itself...

I also don't see them saying they are a bank, anywhere on their about me investor page:

But I do see they link up instantly and have their own bank account setup under a "real bank" https://assets.investvoyager.com/5ykew4idKrAVhJIu https://assets.investvoyager.com/5ykew4idKrAVhJIu
tl;dr don't call a bank, a bank when it never was a bank.
- ansible 4y agoAs /u/thr0wawayf00 mentions, they issued debit cards and allowed people to do direct deposits into their accounts. So people were using it like a bank for their ordinary day-to-day financial transactions. I, personally, would never have considered it a bank (or had any trust for anything crypto-related in general), but other people seemed to treat it like a bank.
