With no apparent signs of stopping any time soon, the decentralized finance (DeFi) craze just keeps getting bigger. Today, the total market cap touched an eye-watering $11 billion.
Chainlink (LINK) is taking the lead in terms of market cap, surging in price over the last 24 hours to reach new highs, according to Coin Gecko data. Second in place is Maker (MKR), followed by Compound (COMP), in CoinGecko’s top 100 DeFi coins by market cap listing.
As of writing, the market cap had fallen to $10.85 billion. Different sites have different figures in terms of measuring the DeFi market cap. DeFi Market Cap today said the figure was $8 billion—but the website does not include Chainlink in its listing.
Decentralized finance (DeFi) hype is surging, and the amount of money being poured into the burgeoning industry keeps reaching new heights. Today, the total DeFi market cap crossed another major threshold. CoinGecko’s listing of the Top 100 DeFi coins by market capitalization crossed the $8 billion mark today and has hovered around that amount since. Granted, there are various benchmarks for the DeFi market cap. A website appropriately titled DeFi Market Cap pegs the total for the Top 100 DeFi t...
DeFi, which wants to revolutionize finance (borrowing, lending, saving) by running by everything on the blockchain, has exploded with popularity. This is in part because people are finding out they can make lots of money, particularly from money from yield farming: staking resources in pools to earn extra tokens and see huge returns.
The hype around DeFi is seemingly unstoppable. Bitcoin trader Linksaka today told Twitter that LINK’s trading volume on Coinbase had surpassed Bitcoin’s—standing at $145 million, while Bitcoin’s was just $95 million. While on Binance, LINK was close behind Bitcoin—the biggest cryptocurrency by market cap—in terms of trade volume.
$LINK volume has now flipped $BTC volume on Coinbase ($145m vs $95m) and is almost at par with $BTC volume on binance.

Not only is the market cap of the DeFi world surging, so is the amount of cash locked into its contracts. According to DeFi Pulse, that figure now stands at $4.55 billion, hitting $4 billion a little over a week ago, and $3 billion under two weeks prior to that.
Though some have said the DeFi world is just a bubble and we could see a crash—just like Bitcoin’s 2017 crash—very soon.
It was launched as an exclusive cryptocurrency, only for those with deep pockets. But after a vote, now the average Joe will soon be able to buy President Trump-backed WLFI from exchanges. The native token of World Liberty Financial will soon be available for trading to "begin the next phase of community ownership and engagement," according to its website. WLFI is World Liberty's native governance token. In the crypto space, holders of a governance token can vote to make changes to how the proj...
A blockchain researcher accidentally burned approximately $58,000 worth of Pump.fun’s PUMP token on Solana—but he told Decrypt that he isn’t “sad or angry” about the costly mistake. The mistake came after he bought $40,000 worth of the token in Pump.fun’s sought-after token sale on Saturday, which sold out in just 12 minutes. Once the token launched, PUMP debuted at a price of $0.005827, which is 45% higher than its ICO valuation, bringing the unlucky trader’s losses to a total of $58,270. On Su...
Hyperliquid has rapidly become a major player in decentralized finance, but Project X aims to level the playing field on the layer-1 HyperEVM chain that powers it—and seeks to become the frontend for the ecosystem in the process. In a space crowded with teams racing to build similar platforms, the team insists its strategy stands apart. Rather than focusing solely on technical innovation, Project X sits down with Decrypt for an exclusive interview on how it is taking a distribution-first approac...
