DeFi, NFT Remains Resilient Despite FTX Implosion: DappRadar

The fallout from FTX’s collapse has been devastating, and the market is poised for more losses. But according to a recent report by DappRadar, Web3 remains resilient.

Centralized services are on the losing side. With the contagion unfolding, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, too, has been impacted. But the user activity in the sector appears to be returning to levels from the previous month.

According to a recent Dapp Radar report shared with CryptoPotato, the total value locked (TVL) across DeFi platforms has plunged over 20%, from $83 billion to $65 billion, since the beginning of the month. The TVL of the market leader – Ethereum – fell from $51 billion on November 1 to $41 billion on November 13, noting a 14% decrease.

The ETH staking yields have increased by over 10.6% in the network’s largest liquid staking service provider – Lido – translating to its highest ever recorded. However, stETH lost its peg to ETH and is currently trading at 0.9883.

BNB’s TVL also suffered a similar fate and was down 14%, reaching $7.3 billion, while that Tron’s TVL was down by over 25%, decreasing from $6.1 billion to $4.6 billion. Other networks, such as Avalanche, Polygon, and Arbitrum, also recorded a TVL decrease of 25.06%, 8.76%, and 10.26%, respectively.

The biggest loser, in terms of TVL in USD, is, however, the Solana blockchain slashing its TVL by nearly 65% from a whopping $1.65 billion to $585 million.

On the brighter side, the decentralized applications (DApp) sector keeps going strong despite the FTX scandal. The report revealed that unique active wallets (UAW) in the industry noted a decline of 11.67% and hit an average of 1.9 million dUAW in November. Contrastingly, the total number of transactions decreased by only 0.28%, reaching 26 million.

DeFi UAW, on the other hand, peaked on November 9 and 10, reaching nearly 500,000 UAW on both days. This coincided with the FTX unraveling. But data suggested that DeFi activity is now back to its levels from the previous month – 400K dUAW. Meanwhile, activity in gaming chains EOS, Hive, Wax, Ronin, and IMX remained mostly remained unfazed and did not face any significant fluctuations.

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
