The Decentralized Finance Market (DEFI) reached a summit of $ 153 billion on Monday, stimulated by the Ascension of ETH to $ 4,000 and significant entries in rest protocols.
Defillama data show that the increase in entries and prices of assets during last week has raised the sector over its December 2024 summit at its highest point since May 2022, at the time of $ 60 billion in the collapse of the Terra de Do Kwon network.
ETH increased by $ 2,423 to $ 2,423 to $ 2,423 in the last 30 days of an institutional investment, including a Treasury investment of $ 1.3 billion in Sharplink Gaming and $ 2 billion in Bitmine.
Ethereum always commands the monopoly on Total Value Located Value (TVL) with 59.5% of all the capital locked in chain, the majority of which can be allocated to the liquid implementation protocol platform and the loan platform, both between $ 32 billion and 34 billion dollars on TVL.
The Battle of Agriculture
Institutions acquiring assets like Ether are part of the equation, the other obtains a return in addition to this investment.
Investors can directly mark out the ETH and win a modest annual return between 1.5% and 4%, or they can go further and use a replenishment protocol, which will grant an indigenous yield and a liquid token which can be used elsewhere within the framework of the DEFI ecosystem for additional yield.
X User Olimpiocryptto has revealed a more complex strategy that can guarantee an annual return up to 25% on the USDC and SUSDC with low risk and complete liquidity. It completes the active ingredients between Euler and Spark on Unichain: users provide USDC on Euler, borrow Susdc, reappropiate and repeat. Incitations from Spark (SSR + OP REWARDS) and EULER (USDC SUBVENTIES, REUL) strengthen yields.
An easier but less profitable alternative begins by undoing the SUSDC via Spark and in a loop with USDC borrow / Lend on Euler. Despite the user interface differences, the two methods would have given solid yields, probably lasts about a week, unless the incentives are changing.
Solana and other blockchains
Although a large part of the attention is understandable on the Ethereum network, Solana TVL increased from 23% in the last month to 12 billion dollars, with protocols like Sanctum, Jupiter and Marinade all overperforming the wider soil ecosystem with significant entries, according to Defilma.
Investors have also poured capital in Avalanche et Suis, which increased by 33% and 39%, respectively, in terms of TVL this month. The Bitcoin Defi ecosystem was deaf, increasing from 9% to $ 6.2 billion despite recent transmission to new records to $ 124,000.
