DeFi Week 28: TVL rebounds to $73.7B

Week 28 DeFi TVL recovered to about $73.7B as all tracked major chains gained, led by ETH-linked staking and restaking protocols. The rebound came with fresh risk signals: Summer.fi, Hinkal, and Edel added about $7.22M in new exploit losses, while ENS, Solana, Arbitrum, and Aave governance actions changed authority and risk parameters. Yield opportunities split between incentive-heavy Base pools, fee-driven depeg arbitrage, and data fields that need validation before sizing capital.

DeFi Week 27: TVL slides to $70.3B

Week 27 DeFi TVL fell 4.78% to $70.34B, led by a severe staking/restaking drawdown and SSV Network’s $5.26B TVL loss. Exploit losses slowed to about $5.78M, but Polymarket’s frontend supply-chain attack and SecondFi’s wallet-key exposure shifted the risk focus toward user-layer security. Governance activity remained active across Arbitrum, Aave, ENS, Gnosis, and Lido, while yield opportunities split between incentive-heavy Base pools and fee-driven Solana DEX pools.
