Despite a market meltdown causing Bitcoin to drop below $80K and Ethereum to hit a two-year low of $1,432, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector showed remarkable resilience. Total value locked (TVL) in DeFi reached a low of $95 billion, the lowest since November. However, key usage metrics in DeFi outperformed Ethereum’s price decline. Aave, the largest DeFi protocol, saw its TVL rise to a record high of 11.02 million ETH, equivalent to $17.32 billion, up from 3 million ETH at the start of the year. Sky, formerly MakerDAO, increased its TVL from 1.85 million ETH to 4.63 million ETH. Lending protocol Spark also saw a 1 million ETH increase in deposits this month. Decentralized exchange volumes remained strong, reaching $11.8 billion on Monday and $9.8 billion by mid-Tuesday, compared to last week’s peak of under $7 billion per day. This surge in DeFi activity highlights traders’ shift towards delta-neutral strategies and stablecoins to manage risk during volatile market conditions.

Every dip makes this industry stronger.

It indicates strength and potential buying opportunity.
I’m focused on the A.I. agent and DeFAI sector now as I believe it’s still the most interesting sector this cycle.
Let’s take a look at some of

Apr 7 During the FTX and Luna crises, one bright spot was that DeFi worked like a charm.
It liquidated in an orderly manner, and everything remained solvent.
And AGAIN DeFi proves its worth:
