Happy Tuesday, Blockfolians
The Lede
DeFi has reached yet another big milestone - $2B locked up in DeFi applications. This comes just 5 months after the psychological barrier of $1B was broken.
Interestingly, Compound has pushed past MakerDAO to account for the largest part of that $2B.
Impressive as this is, it isn’t the only evidence of the growing attention around DeFi. DeFi lockup tracking site DeFiPulse is seeing major growth as well.
Are we all just yield farmers now? Certainly seems that way.
