Ethereum Decentralized Finance ecosystem is recovering, with a total locked value exceeding 690 billion US dollars

Recently, the encryption currency market has entered a bull market phase, and the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem of Ethereum has experienced a significant recovery. According to DefiLlama data, the total locked value (TVL) of Ethereum Decentralized Finance has exceeded $69 billion, reaching a new high in two years. This surge is mainly due to the increased market activity on protocols such as Lido, Aave, Uniswap, and Decentralized Applications (DApps).

Uniswap monthly volume hits a new high, $UNI Token price rises

As the largest Decentralization exchange on Ethereum, Uniswap has recently set a new record for monthly volume on the Layer2 network. In November, Uniswap's volume reached $88.5 billion, an increase of nearly 80% compared to $49.2 billion in October. The data shows that this growth is mainly driven by Arbitrum, contributing $19.1 billion in volume, followed by Base with $12.9 billion and Polygon with $4 billion.

The Uniswap team stated on social media on November 27th: 'On-chain history is being created. The monthly volume of Uniswap protocol on Layer2 has reached a new high.' This success is also reflected in the market performance of Uniswap's native coin $UNI. At the time of writing, the price of $UNI is up 12.64%.

In addition, Uniswap has announced a $15.5 million bug bounty program, the largest in the history of Decentralized Finance, aimed at ensuring the security of the upcoming v4 protocol. They stated, 'Over 500 researchers participated in a $2.35 million security competition and no major vulnerabilities were found. As deployment approaches, we are taking additional steps to ensure that the security of v4 meets the highest standards.'

Aave deposits soar, $AAVE Token hits new annual high

As the largest Decentralized Finance lending platform, Aave has also recently reached a historic milestone. According to DefiLlama's data, the total deposits on the Aave platform have soared to $33 billion, a 230% increase from the beginning of the year. If Aave were to be viewed as a U.S. bank, its deposit amount would rank in the top 1.4%, surpassing well-known Financial Institutions such as SoFi.

The market dynamics behind the surge in Decentralized Finance activities

The resurgence of the Ethereum Decentralized Finance ecosystem reflects investors' growing interest in innovative financial tools and opportunities. With the increasing activity of platforms such as Uniswap and Aave, the appeal of Decentralized Finance solutions is on the rise. These platforms provide users with greater flexibility and potential returns through decentralized trading and lending services.

In addition, the enthusiasm of the market is also driven by the wider encryption currency bull market. Investors are seeking growth opportunities outside the TradFi market, and Decentralized Finance platforms are meeting this demand. The Decentralized Finance ecosystem on the Ether network provides an open and transparent financial environment for global users through innovative financial products and services.
