🚨 DeFi Quietly Evolved – And Most Missed the Shift 🔥
DeFi TVL didn't just pump... it migrated big time.
Back in 2021, it was all hype: DEX trading, yield farming, constant rotations – real activity driving the numbers 📈
Fast forward to 2025: TVL is now ruled by **lending, liquid staking, and restaking** (think Aave, Lido, EigenLayer vibes). Capital just sits there passively, compounding efficiently without much movement 💤🤑
Why this changes everything:
- Lending loops leverage to inflate TVL mechanically
- Liquid staking keeps ETH productive (no need to sell)
- Restaking squeezes extra yield from already-staked assets – zero reallocations needed
TVL growth isn't from wild demand anymore... it's structure-driven.
DeFi's not about frantic activity now – it's about who owns and optimizes the balance sheet. Totally different game!
Bullish on these infrastructure plays? What's your fave protocol holding it down? 🚀💭
