The DeFi Total Value Locked Surges Beyond $126 Billion, Showing a Growth of Over 45% Since April
The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is experiencing a resurgence in activity as investors seek on-chain yield opportunities and protocol advancements accelerate.
DeFi Sector Sees Significant Growth
The total value locked (TVL) in the DeFi sector has skyrocketed from $86 billion in April to over $126 billion as of July 15, marking a remarkable 46% increase in just three months, according to data from DeFiLlama. This surge in TVL signifies a renewed interest and investment in decentralized finance platforms.
Earlier this year, the DeFi TVL experienced a significant drop of approximately $50 billion, plummeting from $138 billion in December 2024, which was the highest level recorded since May 2022, to $88 billion in March 2025. This decline erased a substantial portion of the gains made post the market downturn.
Vijay Chetty, CEO of Eclipse Labs, commented on this rebound, stating, “The resurgence in DeFi TVL indicates a shift in institutional and retail capital back into on-chain protocols as market confidence resurges.” This influx of capital is a positive sign for the DeFi ecosystem, reflecting growing trust and interest from investors.

Jeff Feng, co-founder of Sei Labs, highlighted the correlation between the growth in DeFi TVL and the performance of leading DeFi tokens associated with prominent protocols. This alignment underscores the overall expansion and maturation of the DeFi landscape, with key projects attracting significant value and attention.
