Main Idea
DeFi is experiencing a significant resurgence, with Total Value Locked (TVL) surging 57% since April to $138 billion, driven by Ethereum's dominance and key sectors like lending, liquid staking, and restaking.
Key Points
1. DeFi's TVL reached $138 billion, a 57% increase since April, marking the highest level since May 2022.
2. Ethereum leads the DeFi revival, with $270 billion in TVL, $137 billion in stablecoins, and $120 billion staked.
3. Key sectors driving growth include lending (Aave with $50 billion in deposits), liquid staking (Lido DAO with $32 billion), and restaking (EigenLayer with $17 billion).
4. Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on Ethereum have grown nearly 20x since January 2024, attracting institutional interest.
5. Despite the growth, DeFi's TVL remains 30% below its peak from nearly four years ago.
