Following a period of rampant speculative activity, decentralized finance (DeFi) assets now appear to be suffering from a major correction.
Though average cryptocurrency has lost 2.9% in the last week, DeFi assets have been hit harder than most in this time. The top 10 DeFi assets have an average loss of 23.4% over the last week. Scaling further back, these DeFi assets have performed even worse, having lost an average of 27.44% in the last 30 days.
Yearn Finance (YFI) is currently the worst performer over the 7-day timeframe, having lost 36.93% of its value in this time to reach its current price of $14,525. UMA, on the other hand, is the worst performer on the 30-day chart, having lost 58.7% in this time to reach $6.04—its lowest value since August.
The decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem uses non-custodial, autonomous financial products to replace centralized middlemen in financial applications such as loans, insurance, and derivatives. Uniswap is an example of one of the core products in the DeFi ecosystem, the decentralized crypto exchange, or DEX. DEXs aim to solve many of the problems of centralized exchanges, including the risk of hacking, mismanagement, and arbitrary fees. However, decentralized exchanges have their own problems,...
However, while the DeFi bubble is bursting—these coins are still up since the start of the year, largely because most of the coins are so young. All but two top 10 DeFi assets are up significantly against the US dollar (USD) when measured year-to-date, with Aave (LEND) currently leading the pack with its 2,252% gains while Yearn Finance isn't far behind with 1,271% gains this year.
Reversing this cycle now would require a significant new catalyst. Reversed sentiment and new market buyers. Since most of the governance tokens were designed to be yield farmed, they have really high inflation and that further destroys the price in an environment like this

Following a period of strong speculative activity, cryptocurrencies often experience either temporary, long-term, or permanent corrections, which see their value drop considerably due to sudden ship in the dynamics of supply and demand. As the data shows, newer, less battle-tested assets like Yearn Finance, UMA and Uniswap (UNI) may be less resistant to these sudden sell-offs—potentially because they haven't yet developed sufficient order book depth, while more established assets like Maker (MKR) and Kyber Network (KNC) have held up relatively well.

An independent Bitcoin miner hit the jackpot Sunday, outgunning the top mining operations that typically solve blocks on the leading cryptocurrency's network. A solo miner solved block 910,440 of the Bitcoin blockchain, bagging a 3.137 BTC reward—worth approximately $365,000 at current prices. The block contained 4,913 transactions and was added by a miner using Solo CKPool—a service allowing anonymous miners to get started with a mining hook-up, without the need to run their own full Bitcoin...
The crypto market is painting the charts red today, with a sweeping correction hitting pretty much every major asset as traders take profits. Bitcoin dropped 2% to test the $115K mark, XRP slipped below that battle-tested $3 price point, and Ethereum dipped 3.5% to under $4,400. The selloff reflects a classic cocktail of profit-taking, leverage unwinding, and mounting macro uncertainty ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's critical Jackson Hole speech this week. The market carnage has b...
Terawulf stock (NASDAQ: WULF) surged more than 12% Monday after the Bitcoin miner said it was expanding and that Google was upping its stake in the company. The Easton, Maryland-based firm said that Google will provide an incremental $1.4 billion backstop to support project-related debt financing, bringing its total stake to $3.2 billion. In exchange, Google will receive warrants to buy 32.5 million shares of the sustainable Bitcoin miner. The latest agreement increases the tech giant's pro fo...
