Solana’s DeFi TVL hits $10B, highest level in six-month high

Solana’s recovery coincided with a similar increase in its DeFi TVL, which reached the highest level in six months.

The latest crypto bull run boosted both Solana’s (SOL) price and DeFi ecosystem. On Monday, July 21, Solana’s total market cap once again crossed $100 billion, with SOL trading at $194.62 per coin. With a market cap hovering below $105 billion, this is the highest level this metric has reached since Jan. 25 this year.

Solana's DeFi total value locked in USD

At the same time, the increase in Solana’s price also contributed to the rising value of its total ecosystem. Solana’s DeFi TVL has reached $10.453 billion, the highest this metric has been since January, when SOL hit an all-time high.

The growth was also reflected in the increase in DEX activity, although these figures did not approach the January highs. Between July 14 and July 20, Solana DEXs processed $22.58 billion in volume, up from $18.5 billion on the week prior.

Solana's weekly DEX volume in USD

Leading among decentralized exchanges are Raydium, Orca, and Meteora, with weekly volumes of $8.4 billion, $5.9 billion, and $5.3 billion, respectively. Still, weekly DEX volume remains far from its peak in mid-January, where it reached $98.28 billion.

Why Solana’s DeFi TVL rose

The most likely reason for Solana’s DeFi TVL reaching a six-month high is the boost from the Solana token price. This is because SOL tokens account for a significant percentage of assets held across the network’s DeFi protocols.

Solana’s DeFi TVL accounts for tokens, stablecoins, and memecoins deposited across various DeFi protocols within the Solana ecosystem. This includes tokens in smart contracts, lending pools, or vaults.

Still, the DeFi TVL does not include Solana tokens that are staked with validators for securing the network. Currently, this figure amounts to 355.4 million SOL, valued at $69.44 billion, or about 66% of all tokens in circulation. DeFi TVL also doesn’t include tokens held on centralized exchanges.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate.
