DeFi TVL is grinding its way back toward all-time highs.

And is doing so with less noise, fewer memecoins, and stronger protocols. 

The capital coming in now feels smarter, slower, and more strategic.

Protocols are battle-tested. Yields are more sustainable. Composability is finally working.

Retail hasn’t fully returned, yet builders haven’t stopped. 

Slow return of retail, or a deeper change in how DeFi is valued?
