Even if the term Hype may be a little exaggerated, it is clear that DeFi could see a rise in the past year, a solid and constant growth.
The entire ‘industry’ around DeFi is, however, still in its infancy and has still a lot of growth potential. An indicator for the growth in Ethereum we see in the number and absolute amount of deposited ETH, and thus the U.S. Dollar.
This number (measured in dollars) has become Mature in the last year alone triple eight. Even if we consider the amount of deposited ETH, we see a growth of 50 percent in a single year. The entire, curly value (English was. total value of locked, short-TVL) in the past year, even in the case of 258 million US dollars. A year later, he is already well 780 million dollars. The number of locked ETH is increased from around 2 million ETH to the current level of 3 million ETH.

The message goes out to anyone who is thinking about entering the Defined area. Be aware of the fact that it to buy, for example, as the risk is rich in Brazilian bonds and give the money to the state. To give money to a Crypto Startup in a different League, and significant risk, however, is once again rich. Even if I am glad that the market is growing and as such, one must be aware of the risks. There is no Fed that saves a, when things go wrong or the market is in a negative Phase.
