$20B Locked in DeFi possible Before EOY
According to the recent DeFi report by the team at DeFiPulse, the total value locked can very much hit $20 Billion before the end of the year.
It’s been a year of rapid growth for DeFi, then, and at this rate (and considering how DeFi can move in incredible fits and bursts, particularly lately), the possibility of hitting the $20B TVL milestone by the end of 2020 doesn’t seem out of the question.
There’d still be a decent amount of ground to cover, of course, as DeFi’s TVL has since ceded from Monday’s top to ~$14.05B currently. With $15B now notched, though, $20B and beyond seems more in reach than ever.
DeFi tokens Posting Impressive Triple-digit Gains
The report went on to point out that the last week was a good one for DeFi tokens with some posting impressive triple-digit gains.
Lastly, when it comes to top DeFi tokens, some of the best-performing assets from the past week included IDLE (+400%), COVER (+150%), FARM (+16%), INDEX (18%), and COMP (13.8%). The DeFi Pulse Index (DPI) declined 7% on the week to $94.46.
DeFi Tokens Exhibit High Monthly Trade Volume
