The Growing Confidence in DeFi
The recent $9.3 billion surge in TVL reflects a growing confidence within the DeFi sector. Ethereum’s continued dominance, along with significant advances by other blockchains like Tron, underscores the ongoing diversification of the DeFi ecosystem. However, the long-term sustainability of this upward trend and whether the TVL will eventually surpass previous peak levels remains to be seen.
