Lido Finance ($LDO) Staking Hits $38.7 BillionThe decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem is experiencing a renaissance, marked by a monumental achievement: a total value locked (TVL) surpassing $100 billion, spearheaded by Lido Finance ( MIL:LDO ) staking hitting $38.7 billion. Amidst rising Bitcoin interest and crypto market optimism, this milestone signals a significant comeback for DeFi, albeit still below its previous all-time high. The DeFi TVL Surge: DefiLlama's latest data reveal a global DeFi TVL of $100.1 billion, showcasing a resurgence after nearly two years. Lido's liquid staking protocol emerges as the frontrunner, with $38.7 billion locked on-chain, highlighting its dominance within the DeFi landscape. Other players like EigenLayer and AAVE also contribute substantially to the overall value, underscoring the sector's diversification and growth. Influence of Key Factors: The resurgence in DeFi is attributed to various factors, including the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs, driving market optimism and institutional demand. Bitcoin's recent surge to new all-time highs, breaching $70,000, further fuels capital flow into DeFi protocols. Concurrently, crypto exchanges witness increased activity, showcasing expanding interest and involvement in the cryptocurrency market. Impact on the Crypto Ecosystem: The DeFi sector's resurgence mirrors the broader revival of the cryptocurrency market. The memecoin boom, inspired by Bitcoin's gains, reflects changing investor sentiment and the speculative nature of the industry. While hurdles persist in surpassing the previous TVL record, the sector's momentum indicates continuous innovation and expansion, attracting more users and capital. Looking Ahead: The recovery and growth of the DeFi sector are not only pivotal for its proponents but also for the entire cryptocurrency market. They underscore the attractiveness and potential of decentralized financial services, shaping the future landscape of finance. Conclusion: As DeFi reaches new heights, led by Lido Finance and a burgeoning TVL, the sector's resilience and innovation come to the fore. With optimism abound and institutional interest on the rise, the DeFi resurgence signifies a transformative era in finance, heralding a decentralized future for global markets.

DefiLlama: Total Value Locked by Protocols"Exchange is not your wallet". "Not your keys, not your coins" Despite the strong turmoil due to the FTX crash, DeFi dApps (Decentralized Finance applications that run on blockchains) remain intact, at least for the most part. And given this bad context of the crypto market, it is worth noting that Dexes (decentralized exchanges) and Landing Protocols have proven to be much more resilient and secure than centralized exchanges, since the former have a more open administration and a source code that can be accessed and audited. On the other hand, centralized exchanges are a black box, and at this delicate moment, there are doubts if they really have enough balance to honor all withdrawals. DefiLlama TVL (Total Value Locked) The graph presented here shows the monetary values ​​locked in the main dApps, also called protocols. What the graph indicates is that the DeFi ecosystem remains intact, and so far the application that has suffered the most withdrawals and losses has been Mango Markets, which runs on the Solana blockchain. Due to the Alameda/FTX contamination, some Solana dApps may suffer more. The worst case scenario in case of eviction According to DefiLlama, the total amount locked in DeFi is $76.13b. Doing a very quick baker's account with approximate values: + Total TVL: $76,000,000,000.00 - FTX Leak: $10,000,000,000.00 - Investments by Alameda/FTX in Solana and some dApps: $6,031,139,675.00 ------------------------------- = $59,968,860,325,000 (-21%) So, if the market drops more, we could have a drop of another 21%, distributed among these protocols. But, again, this is just a quick calculation and could be wrong, and it is not investment advice. Final word This will be a time of consolidation, in which ecosystems with solid governance will prove their worth and emerge from this crisis even stronger.

DefiLlama: Total Value Locked in Blockchainsℹ️ This is a complementary study of the idea below, where I analyzed the TVL of the main dApps: Basically, here's a more macro view of DeFi ecosystems. Making a very crude analogy, dApps would be like the banks of the physical world, while blockchains would be the cities/countries where these banks reside. Total Value Locked in Blochchains Ethereum continues to reign isolated in the lead. Binance Smart Chain follows in second place, followed by Tron, AVAX, Matic, Optimism, Cronos, Solana, FTM, among others. Last on this list are Ethereum Classic and Ethereum PoW. The chart still does not show Solana's decrease, which is currently at $656.23m. I believe it is due to a delay. That's a 24% drop from the previous day. Now it remains to see the scenes of the next chapters.
