DeFi TVL Decline

Definition

DeFi TVL decline indicates a reduction in the total value of assets locked within decentralized finance protocols. Total Value Locked (TVL) represents the aggregate capital deposited into DeFi platforms, serving as a key metric for the sector’s health and user participation. A decline in TVL suggests a withdrawal of assets from these protocols, potentially due to market downturns, security concerns, or reduced investor interest. This trend can reflect a contraction in the liquidity and activity across the DeFi ecosystem.
