The total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols exceeded $100 billion for the first time in nearly two years.

On March 5, DeFi TVL reached $101.36 billion, with lending accounting for $32.62 billion (32.2%) of this total, with decentralized exchanges at $19.97 billion (19.7%), collateralized debt positions at $12.22 billion (12%), and restaking activities at $10.06 billion (9.9%).

 

The last time the TVL in DeFi surpassed $100 billion was on May 11, 2022, according to The Block's Data Dashboard . On that day, DeFi TVL was $112.67 billion. 

"The recent rebound in crypto asset prices has helped TVL grow in USD terms, but more interest has also been pouring into DeFi with new categories like RWA and restaking drawing significant attention and also bolstering the amount of funds locked across DeFi protocols," said Rebecca Stevens, senior research analyst at The Block. 

Meanwhile, staking on Ethereum ETH -2.73% also hit a notable high. Over 31.5 million ether worth around $115 billion, comprising 26% of total ether supply, has been staked on the Ethereum blockchain, The Block previously reported .
