DeFi is back at scale. Total DeFi TVL has crossed $160B, the highest since the 2021 cycle, and within that, lending protocols dominate with $83.6B locked. ➢ Base APYs: 4–5% on stables, showing compression as capital floods in. ➢ Looping meta: Spark, Euler, and Morpho still unlock 20–25% compounded yields. ➢ Leaders: Aave ($41B, 49% share), Morpho ($8.5B), Spark ($5.5B), JustLend ($5.2B). ➢ Revenue power: $42.7M in fees and $5.56M revenue over the last 7d → $3.2B annualized fee run-rate. The story isn’t just deposits returning. It is that DeFi lending is monetizing like never before while offering permissionless yield curves that beat both banks and RWAs. ● Market Context: $130B Total, $85B Lending - Total DeFi TVL: $163B (cycle ATH), +100% since September 2024. - Lending share: $83.6B (≈65% of DeFi). This cycle’s composition is clear: money markets are once again the engine, powered by stablecoin inflows ($224B sector mcap, +76% YoY). Lending’s comeback follows the 2022 crash, when TVL cratered to $20B. Now, capital is flowing back into permissionless repo desks; Aave Arc’s $50B institutional bridge, Spark’s stablecoin yield layer, and Morpho’s peer-to-peer optimization. ● Key Players & Market Share 1️⃣ @aave - $40.98B TVL (≈49% market share). - $23.9M fees in the last 7d, $3.22M revenue. - $3M+ daily fee engine; AAVE token trades $300, with 8% staking yield. 2️⃣ @MorphoLabs - $8.55B TVL across 22 chains. - $3.8M fees in the last 7d. - Vaults delivering 10–15% APY; fixed-rate pilots attracting institutions. 3️⃣ @sparkdotfi - $5.5B TVL. - $1.6M fees in the last 7d. - $sUSDS yields 8–9% base; loops hit 12–13%. - $5.2B TVL. 4️⃣ JustLend (@DeFi_JUST) - Sub-1% base APY but loops via Morpho hit 12%+. - Anchors TRON’s $60B $USDT ecosystem, serving EM flows. 5️⃣ @eulerfinance - $1.64B TVL, +38x from post-hack lows. - $2.3M fees in the last 7d. - Permissionless markets allow 20–25% looped yields. ● Yield Dynamics: Looping as the Alpha Unlock ➢ Base lending rates are converging toward 4–5%. But leverage is back: ➢ Looping mechanics: Supply $USDC to Aave (4%), borrow $USDT at 2.5%, redeposit. At 90% LTV, 7–10x recursion compounds into 20–25% APYs. ➢ Volume impact: RedStone oracles estimate 30% of Ethereum lending activity is looped, creating $12–15B in open interest. ➢ Pendle tie-in: PT markets let users lock in fixed slices of those looped yields, further institutionalizing the strategy. Portfolio View: A 10–15% tilt toward looped stable strategies via Aave/Spark/Morpho can deliver uncorrelated 20%+ yields in a market still starved for real yield.
