TVL simply means the total value all assets in DeFi protocols. TVL encompasses all tokens that are deposited in DeFi protocol functions, such as lending and staking. The TVL, or total funds in smart contracts, is an indicator of investor confidence and is closely monitored by analysts.

DeFi’s value traded over $200 billion in March. Things started to get worse in May due to a wider sell-off on global markets and waning interest for risky assets like cryptocurrencies. The crypto market’s total value fell from $160 billion mid-April 2022 down to $52.2 billion by September 2022. This is the lowest level since March 20,22.
