The Numbers Dispel The Notion that DeFi is For Whales
From the first chart, it can be observed that DeFi users shot up to 292,000 in the month of August. This feat throws out the earlier assumption that DeFi was solely an activity for whales. This group of crypto investors was thought to be the only ones who could afford the high ETH gas fees during Ethereum’s network congestion.
However, with Tether now operating on the OMG transport layer, congestion of the Ethereum network has considerably reduced with the average ETH transaction currently costing around $0.58.
