The Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols — a metric akin to Assets Under Management (AUM) in traditional finance — has seen substantial increases with a global TVL reaching approximately $270B in January 2025.
Since 2020, DeFi has experienced significant growth, positioning itself as a notable segment within the financial industry.
It has generated more than $8B of cumulated income over the last 5 years, primarily through fees associated with various services provided by market participants, such as market-makers, lenders, and borrowers.
