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.
Andreessen Horowitz and the DeFi Education Fund, two powerful forces in D.C.’s crypto policy scene, formally asked the SEC Wednesday to create a safe harbor that would shield developers of decentralized apps—even those who work at centralized businesses with control over said apps—from legal risk of violating securities laws. The proposal, if enacted, would ensure that companies and developers creating popular types of decentralized apps (also known as dapps), like decentralized exchanges, self-...
Pump.fun’s token surged on Monday as the meme coin launchpad clawed back market share from LetsBonk, its biggest competitor on Solana in recent weeks. PUMP recently changed hands around $0.0036, a 20% increase over the past day, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. The token’s price has still fallen 46% from an all-time high of $0.006812 last month, notched shortly after its highly anticipated debut. For over a year, Pump.fun had served as the go-to place for people to speculate on meme...
The Uniswap Foundation published a proposal on Monday to establish a new legal entity in Wyoming for Uniswap Governance, the decentralized exchange’s governing body of members, delegates, and token holders. Under the proposal, Uniswap Governance would become structured as a Wyoming Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA), allowing the group to operate with greater legal certainty, according to Uniswap Foundation General Counsel Brian Nistler. “Uniswap Governance [has] never had...
