🌎 DeFi in 2025

In line with the overall crypto market, the DeFi market cap has fallen drastically since the events of October, ending the year lower at barely >$100B and a market share of 3.31%.

Although it seemed that the DeFi sector would end the year on a high note after Q3, its resurgence was quickly cut short.

⚖️ Trump’s threats of additional tariffs on China in early October marked the start of the segment’s pullback throughout Q4, with its market cap plunging by -37.2% from $160.7B at the start of October to $100.9B at end-December.

⏺️ Liquid staking tokens suffered more than the rest, losing 29.9% of its market cap in Q4 thanks to the falling price of ETH, as the underlying asset fell by -28.4% in the past quarter.

⏺️ Stablecoin governance tokens such as ENA and XPL recorded significant drawdowns, with the latter plummeting by -84.2%.

⏺️ DeFi governance tokens such as HYPE, LINK, and AAVE also suffered a similar fate.

As of the end of 2025, DeFi has erased all its market share increase from Q3 and more, with its dominance falling from 4.02% back to 3.31% in 2025 Q4, lower than its initial market share of 3.49% at the start of the year.
