In just five days, the decentralized finance (defi) sector has witnessed a remarkable surge, with the total value locked (TVL) soaring from $80 billion to an impressive $91 billion, edging closer to the elusive $100 billion milestone not seen since the era predating Terra’s stablecoin crisis.

The defi landscape’s growth is unmistakable, with the combined market value of defi tokens reaching an impressive $115.46 billion as of March 2024. This marks a noteworthy increase of $12.79 billion from the $102.66 billion recorded on February 24, 2024.

Recent performance highlights include avalanche (AVAX) surging by over 19%, while chainlink (LINK) witnessed an 11.5% ascent. The majority of defi tokens, including INJ, STX, GRT, and THETA, have experienced significant gains, propelling the sector forward.

Over 29 Protocols Exceed $1 Billion in Value Amid Defi Sector Expansion

The surge in TVL over the past week is spearheaded by Lido, the leading liquid staking protocol, commanding an impressive $33.849 billion in total value locked. This substantial figure is mainly attributed to the 9.84 million ethereum (ETH) it holds, positioning Lido as a dominant force in the defi space, representing 36.83% of the total defi TVL.
