Ethereum Defies Decline Rumors, Grabs 68% of Total DeFi TVL
Ethereum maintains a crucial position in the DeFi sector. Hence, at present, Ethereum occupies a staggering 68% share of the overall DeFi total value locked (TVL). As per the data from DefiLlama, this robust position of Ethereum dismisses the claims of its decline. Additionally, the respective amount is more than the combined share of the other key blockchain entities and L2 solutions.
Ethereum Dominates DeFi Market with 68% TVL Share
The on-chain data reveals that, by occupying nearly 68% of the cumulative DeFi TVL, Ethereum effectively defies the false claims about its decline. Particularly, this dominance surpasses the combined share of the prominent blockchain platforms as well as L2 solutions like Arbitrum, Tron, and Solana. Thus, Solana, which is the 2nd top DeFi project, accounts for just 8.96% of the DeFi TVL share. This figure is far lower than Ethereum’s TVL share.
Subsequently, Bitcoin has become the 3rd leading project in the DeFi sector, getting a 6.67% share in cumulative TVL. Following that, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) stands in the 4th place. Hence, its DeFi TVL share has reportedly reached 6.46%. The next player on the list of notable DeFi projects in terms of TVL is Tron. Specifically, the current DeFi TVL share of Tron is currently sitting at 4.33%.
Consistent Growth in DeFi Sector Cements Ethereum’s Position in 2026
According to DefiLlama, Arbitrum is the 6th top DeFi project based on TVL share. It presently has a 2.86% DeFi TVL share. After that, Avalanche has a DeFi TVL share of almost 1.26%. Moreover, Polygon and Vaulta occupy 1.05% and 0.37% share, respectively. At the end of the list, OP Mainnet is the 10th noteworthy DeFi project when it comes to DeFi TVL share. Keeping this in view, the consistent growth of Ethereum cements its position in the DeFi in 2026.
