DeFi Bounces Back Strong: Total Value Locked Crosses $100B Mark

The total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance (DeFi) has surged past $100 billion, reaching $100.607 billion for the first time since March 27, 2025, according to DefiLlama.

After dipping to $84.87 billion in early April, DeFi protocols like Aave and Lido led the rebound, with Aave now holding the top spot at $19.75 billion, followed by Lido at $17.033 billion. Together, they account for over 36% of total TVL. Ethereum dominates with 51% of the value, while Solana, Binance Smart Chain, Bitcoin, and Tron collectively contribute another 25%.

This recovery highlights renewed confidence in DeFi’s core protocols and growing interest in multi-chain ecosystems, even as public search interest for “DeFi” has declined globally, with Mauritius, Burkina Faso, and France showing the highest engagement.
