Ethereum leading TVL in DeFi, Bitcoin and emerging chains accelerating: Coingecko
According to CoinGecko, Ethereum continues to dominate the DeFi space with a TVL of 62.4 billion USD – nearly 7 times that of Solana (8.6 billion USD). Bitcoin ranks third with 6.1 billion USD despite not being a primary DeFi blockchain, thanks to the development of BTC tokenization and layer-2 solutions like the Lightning Network.
The Top 10 also recorded the rise of many new ecosystems such as Aptos (, 1 billion USD ) and Berachain (, 1 billion USD ), indicating that the competition in the layer-1 segment is becoming increasingly fierce, with a focus on scalability and ecosystems for developers.
The next positions in the rankings include Tron (4.8 billion USD), Base (3.7 billion USD), Arbitrum (2.4 billion USD), Sui (1.7 billion USD), Avalanche (1.5 billion USD) and Polygon.
