Data: Total locked value in DeFi fell by 39% in 2026, while TRON and Hyperliquid bucked the trend and grew.
According to Mars Finance, a recent CryptoRank report released on June 24th shows that DeFi's total value locked (TVL) has declined for six consecutive months, falling from approximately $115 billion in January 2026 to around $70 billion currently, a cumulative drop of 39% this year, reflecting the ongoing adjustment following the crypto market's peak in 2025. Data shows that since 2026, the DeFi sector has experienced 121 security incidents, resulting in a cumulative loss of approximately $942 million. The second quarter alone saw 85 attacks, resulting in losses of approximately $775 million, making it one of the most attacked quarters on record. The attacks on Drift Protocol ($295 million) and KelpDAO ($293 million) in April accounted for more than half of the total losses for the year. Among the top ten public chains in terms of TVL, only TRON and Hyperliquid achieved positive growth. Among them, TRON's TVL grew by approximately 5% this year, mainly supported by demand for USDT transfers, stablecoin settlements, and lending; Hyperliquid grew by approximately 6.7%, benefiting from its leading position in the on-chain perpetual contract market and the expansion of the HyperEVM ecosystem. However, the report points out that this round of DeFi downturn is significantly milder than the 2021-2022 cycle. In that year, DeFi TVL plummeted by over 70% in seven months, while currently funds are flowing more into stablecoins, RWA, derivatives, and infrastructure sectors, resulting in a more diversified and mature market structure compared to the previous cycle.
