tvl

TVL (Total Value Locked) refers to the total value locked in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, usually calculated in US dollars. TVL is an important indicator of the scale and popularity of DeFi projects, reflecting the total amount of cryptocurrency assets deposited by users in the protocol. A high TVL typically indicates higher liquidity and user trust in the platform, serving as a key reference for investors and analysts to assess the potential and market position of DeFi projects.

Binance Research: On-chain markets generally contracted in the first half of 2026, with DeFi TVL declining by 38%

The Binance research report shows that in the first half of 2026, the on-chain market contracted overall rather than experiencing capital rotation. The total locked value in DeFi across the entire chain decreased by $43.4 billion, a decline of 38%; the total market capitalization of the six major mainstream Layer 1 public chains covered in the report decreased by $246.5 billion, a decline of 42%. The Ethereum spot ETF holdings dropped from over 6 million ETH to 5.2 million, while the holdings of digital asset reserve companies increased from 6 million to 7.7 million, indicating a change in marginal holding structure.The report also pointed out that after the increase in Ethereum's Gas limit, the average Gas price decreased by 75% compared to 2025, and the number of transactions grew by about 50%, but the annual on-chain revenue is still expected to decline by 53%. User activity on Layer 2 general networks significantly weakened, with user operations dropping by about 77% from January to June 2026. The Solana network's REV fell from $40 million in January to $14 million in June.On the other hand, BNB Chain performed outstandingly in the field of tokenized stocks and tokenized real-world assets, with the market share of on-chain tokenized RWA increasing from 9.8% to 13.5% in the first half of the year. The report also mentioned that prediction markets, DEX, lending, and tokenized RWA remain among the few major directions that maintain activity.
