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.

Circle’s dynamite IPO this week wasn’t just impressive by crypto standards—it outperformed expectations to a degree unrivaled even by America’s most prominent tech companies. The evening before its Thursday trading debut on the New York Stock Exchange, Circle priced its stock, CRCL, at $31 a share. That represented a mark-up from the lower share prices the firm floated earlier in the week: $26, and then $28. Such last-minute moves are generally indicative of increased investor interest in a comp...

USDC issuer Circle, which made its whirlwind of a New York Stock Exchange debut yesterday, has already topped the high it set on Thursday. Around 1pm ET on Friday, CRCL reached a high of $123.51—just 49 cents shy of fully quadrupling its IPO price. The stock is already trading 44% higher than its $83.23 close at a current price just shy of $120. It's a strong follow after the company tripled its $31 IPO price on its opening day. As of this writing, the company has reached an intraday market cap...
