DeFi TVL rebounded above $84B as DEX daily volume hit $10.2B, led by Uniswap and Raydium. Ethereum hosted $50B; L2s added $9.5B. The next catalyst: August on-chain liquidity report.
Decentralized finance returned above $84 billion in total value locked Thursday. Exchange volume topped $10 billion over 24 hours, according to DefiLlama data.
Daily volume on decentralized exchanges reached $10.2 billion at the close. Uniswap and Raydium led the charge, DefiLlama data showed. PancakeSwap also saw elevated activity.
Ethereum held more than $50 billion of the global TVL. Layer 2 solutions, led by Arbitrum and Base, captured over $9.5 billion in collateral deposits within the same period, DefiLlama data showed.
Lending protocols Aave and Compound saw utilization rates climb. Demand for overcollateralized loans drove the increase, market analytics firms said.
The sustainability of the move depends on DEX volume staying above $10 billion in coming sessions, analytics firms said. A drop below that threshold would signal fading momentum.
The next milestone is the monthly on-chain liquidity report due at the end of August. Governance councils at major protocols will vote on risk parameter adjustments and reward distributions then.
