DeFi TVL Drop

Definition

A DeFi TVL drop signifies a decrease in the total value locked within decentralized finance protocols. Total Value Locked (TVL) represents the aggregate sum of all digital assets deposited into DeFi applications, serving as a key metric for the sector’s health and user participation. A drop in DeFi TVL indicates that users are withdrawing assets from these protocols, often due to declining market prices, reduced liquidity incentives, or security concerns. This metric reflects overall confidence and activity within the decentralized finance ecosystem.
