Trust in Decentralized Finance Rattled After $100 Billion Left the Defi Economy

15/05/2022 by Idelto Editor

The effect of Terra’s demise continues to shine a light on the fragility surrounding the decentralized finance (defi) ecosystem. Things have changed a great deal following Terra’s aftermath, as the total value locked (TVL) in defi has plummeted from $231 billion to today’s $112.29 billion, losing 51.38% in 42 days.

Defi TVL Plunges More Than 50% Since April 3, Terra Implosion Impacts Defi Economy the Most

The total value locked in defi today is just above the $100 billion mark at $112.29 billion. While the TVL has been sliding since almost reaching an all-time high on April 3, last week’s Terra chaos removed most of the TVL held in decentralized finance protocols.

In addition to commanding a $231 billion TVL 42 days ago on April 3, the Terra blockchain held $30.45 billion or 13.15% of the $231 billion aggregate at that time. Terra held the second-largest TVL in defi and today, Terra is in the 14th position with only $500.38 million.

Out of Sunday’s $112.29 billion, Ethereum dominates the TVL in defi with 63.63% of the aggregate in defi or $71.09 billion. The second-largest TVL in defi is tethered to Binance Smart Chain (BSC) with 7.71% of the $112.29 billion or $8.62 billion held on BSC.

Another significant change this week that occurred was the downfall of Curve’s defi dominance, as Makerdao is now the largest defi protocol in terms of TVL size. Makerdao dominates by 9.40% with its $10.56 billion TVL and Curve now holds $8.76 billion.

Curve’s current TVL is a lot different than it was on April 3, when it was $21.17 billion roughly 42 days ago. The top 28 defi protocols today have seen significant TVL reductions during the past seven days. While Makerdao leads it is still down 13.73% this week and Curve is down 49.18% this past week as well. Lido has shed 46.37% and the defi application Aave has lost 21.94% this week.

After being the third-largest defi application in terms of TVL a week ago, Anchor has dropped to the 58th position after losing 97.76% this week. Stats show that Anchor has $309.78 million total value locked in the lending protocol today.

17 defi protocols have at least $1 billion or more as far as TVL size is concerned. There’s still $419 billion in smart contract protocol tokens today with ethereum leading the pack. Terra now holds the 18th position in terms of smart contract platform token market capitalizations.

While Terra’s issues rippled across the entire crypto-economy, the carnage affected decentralized finance the most. Not only was trust shaken to the core, but well over $100 billion was removed from defi in less than a week’s time.

It’s likely going to take some time before trust is regained, and the $100 billion lost is added back to the defi ecosystem. Out of all the defi chains, Ethereum benefited the most as dominance has increased a great deal since last week. Although, Ethereum still felt the impact, as the chain lost 31.53% during the past seven days.

What do you think about the state of defi today? What do you think about the trust that’s been lost and the $100 billion wiped away from the defi space? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.

02/05/2022 by Idelto Editor

Moreover, crypto spot volumes are down 18.95% lower than the month prior, and both futures and options volumes were down in April as well. Lower than average trade volumes typically suggest overall interest has declined, and investors may be waiting on the sidelines for lower prices.

April’s Crypto Market Spot Volumes Slip Close to 19% Lower Than Last Month

The crypto economy ended the month of April in the red, as most digital assets suffered losses during the last few weeks. At the time of writing, all ten of the top crypto assets are down significantly as they lost between 10.39% to 31.43% during the trailing 30 days. Metrics further indicate that April’s cryptocurrency exchange volumes dropped 18.95% lower than in March.

Statistics show that during the month of March, $739.4 billion in trade volume was recorded, in terms of overall crypto spot market volume. April’s spot volume, according to the Block’s Legitimate Index and Crypto Compare metrics, came in at $599.22 billion.

30 Day Crypto Derivatives Volume Slide, Dex Volumes Slip, NFT Sales Increased by 64%

The same can be said for crypto derivatives markets as data indicates April saw $1.06 trillion in bitcoin futures volume, while $1.32 trillion was recorded in March. April’s statistics, in terms of bitcoin futures open interest, are lower during the past 30 days as well.

Today, there is $14.58 billion in futures open interest, and a month ago there was $16.59 billion in bitcoin futures open interest. Bitcoin options volume from Deribit, CME, Okex, Bit.com, Ledgerx, FTX, and Huobi was lower in April than the month prior. In March, there was $20.77 billion in bitcoin options volume, while April’s bitcoin options volume saw $15.81 billion.

Furthermore, the recent defi report covered by Bitcoin.com News indicates that April’s decentralized exchange (dex) trade volumes were 21% less than in March. In March dex trade volume was $117 billion, while April’s dex trade volume recorded $92.18 billion.

Non-fungible token (NFT) sales, on the other hand, saw a 39.25% increase during the last seven days, which bumped NFT sales over the last month up 64.44%. Moonbirds was the top-selling NFT collection this past month with $492 million in global sales.
