,The total-value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance (defi) economy has recaptured much of the value lost during the Sushiswap fiasco last week. At the time, the defi TVL tumbled down to $6.8 billion from the $9.6 billion high on September 8, suffering a loss of close to -29%. Since then, however, the rise northbound has been parabolic, as the defi TVL has climbed 28% so far, with locked value rising to $8.75 billion on Thursday morning (ET).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, the anonymous creator of Sushiswap caused an uproar within the decentralized finance (defi) community after cashing out some tokens meant for the project\u2019s future development.<\/p>\n

At that time, the total-value-locked (TVL) in defi was inching toward the $10 billion realm, when it crossed $9.6 billion on September 8. Although, the TVL shed a decent amount of value after the Sushiswap incident<\/a> and the price of ethereum (ETH<\/a>) tumbled by 30%.<\/p>\n

Defipulse.com stats show the total-value locked (TVL) hovering around $8.75 billion on Thursday, September 17, 2020.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today, according to defipulse statistics<\/a> the current TVL on Thursday, September 17 is $8.75 billion with the defi lending platform Aave<\/a> capturing 15.3% of the TVL dominance. This is followed by the defi platforms Maker, Curve Finance, Uniswap, and Sushiswap.<\/p>\n

On Thursday morning (ET), the crypto community has been discussing Uniswap\u2019s UNI token<\/a>, which saw 60% of UNI\u2019s genesis supply allocated to Uniswap community members. Since the launch, Coinbase Pro announced<\/a> UNI support on the exchange and the crypto platform Binance also listed the token<\/a> a few hours after the release.<\/p>\n

\"Defi
The top six projects in the decentralized finance (defi) space include Aave, Maker, Curve.fi, Uniswap, Sushiswap, and Balancer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Uniswap<\/a> team says 21.51% will be reserved for future employees and developers with a four-year vesting period. 17.80% of the UNI supply will be distributed to investors with a four-year vesting timeframe as well.<\/p>\n

The UNI launch announcement notes that the token will be leveraged for a governance treasury and governance will have access to the allocation on October 18. Uniswap\u2019s governance token airdrop contributed to ethereum (ETH<\/a>) miners capturing a lot of money in transaction fees.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing Uniswap Protocol\u2019s announcement of the UNI token today, Ethereum saw a massive surge in miner fees,\u201d the data analytics firm Glassnode tweeted<\/a>. \u201cAlmost $1M USD in fees were spent in a single hour. This is a new record high (anomalous tx fees earlier this year excluded).\u201d<\/p>\n

Last Saturday, the Yearn Finance (YFI)<\/a> token touched an all-time high reaching $43,678 after Coinbase Pro announced listing<\/a> the defi crypto asset.<\/p>\n

Defi users since news.Bitcoin.com\u2019s defi report at the end of August shows the number of unique addresses over time grew by 17.78% from 388,011 users to 457,012 users on September 13.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The token has been very popular among the yield farming community and notoriety for YFI\u2019s price per token surpassing bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> in value. Although YFI has lost -27.34% since the Coinbase listing announcement and the token is currently swapping for $31,736 per coin.<\/p>\n

\"Defi
Decentralized exchange (dex) platforms saw $5.2 billion in global swaps during the last seven days.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since news.Bitcoin.com\u2019s recent study <\/a>on the defi economy on August 29, the total defi users over time jumped 17.78% from 388,011 users to 457,012 users on September 13. Defi-based decentralized exchange (dex) action has seen $5.2 billion in global swaps during the last seven days.<\/p>\n

Dune Analytics data<\/a> shows dex volumes during the last 24 hours was around $645 million. Uniswap is still the top dex in terms of volume exchanged capturing over 60% of the week\u2019s trade volume.<\/p>\n

With this week\u2019s defi TVL rebound closing in on the highs it saw last week, it goes to show that the defi economy isnt letting up any time soon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ethereum (ETH)<\/a> has regained much of the coin\u2019s losses at the crypto asset trades for $383 per ether at the time of publication. Since last week\u2019s report concerning 68 new whales<\/a> joining the ETH<\/a> network, the large concentration of ETH<\/a> holders added another 1% to the aggregate tally<\/a>.<\/p>\n
