The last seven days have proven to be tumultuous for digital assets, with decentralized finance (Defi) protocols that bleed 12.71% of their locked capital. From the dusk hours from January 31 to February 7, 2025, a stunning $ 15,088 billion from the ecosystem evaporates.
Defi -Protocol possession see stair -wise losses
Data extracted from defillama.com From 7 February, the aggregated value that is confirmed in Defi platforms that are now floating at $ 103.67 billion floats. This marks a steep fall of $ 15,088 billion compared to the benchmark of $ 118.76 billion of the previous week. The metric is now stagging only $ 3.67 billion above the psychologically significant threshold of $ 100 billion, a symbolic limit.
The TVL in Defi comes terribly close to $ 100 billion.
Lido maintains his dominant position as the leading protocol of Defi in TVLs and anchores $ 24.44 billion – 23.57% of the total of the sector – within its liquid poker.
Trailend Lido anchores the lending Aave Aave $ 19.107 billion-18.43% of the total value of Defi-EN the second largest steward of the ecosystem. Not far behind, Eigenlayer claims the bronze position and has protected $ 11.34 billion through his repeated protocol, which forms 10.94% of the locked capital of the sector.
This trio of Defi Titans jointly contains 52.94% of the total capital closed of the ecosystem, but each suffering pronounced contractions during the turbulence of the week. Lido’s liquid deployment mechanism bleed 22.03% in value, while Aave graduated 13.58% of his cache value. It should be noted that this decline is the result of the depreciation of the companies, instead of any decrease in the platform rating that comes from out.
Owlayer lost 20.69% over the same seven -day piece. In the midst of the financial mood, protocols selected resilience: Ethena arose with only 0.16% erosion, and Babylon – although dented by a decrease of 5.63% – imprisoned better than most peers caught in the Down Draft of the Week.
In these uncertain times, Defi participants wonder whether the storm has expired or whether further turbulence is specifically with the wider market. The last time the TVL was so low was three months and 28 days ago on November 10, 2024.
