DeFi TVL Has Shifted From Activity to Balance-Sheet Infrastructure
The comparison highlights a structural shift in where DeFi TVL concentrates. In 2021, top protocols were diversified across DEXs, CDPs, and yield aggregators. By 2025, TVL is overwhelmingly concentrated in lending, liquid staking, and restaking protocols, signaling a move away from activity-driven primitives toward balance-sheet infrastructure, where capital can remain deployed passively for extended periods.
The dominance of Aave, Lido, and restaking protocols suggests TVL growth is driven less by user demand and more by capital efficiency and yield layering. Lending fits this structurally: overcollateralization, reusable collateral, and leverage loops mechanically inflate TVL. Restaking goes one step further by monetizing already-staked assets, adding incremental yield without requiring capital reallocation.

Only 12% of 2025 Token Sales Are Still Profitable
In 2025, 533 public token sales took place. Some managed to raise millions in seconds, but only 63 tokens are still trading above their sale price.
The biggest sale, PUMP, raised $600M. It delivered 2.19x at ATH, but now trades below the IDO price, with ROI around 0.48x.
Even though PUMP led the narrative and captured massive attention, the retroactive EV looks weak. The same applies to MON (current ROI 0.93x) and XPL (0.47x).
However, 58% of sales still delivered a solid 3–6x pop on decent size allocations right at the start of trading, but not in the long term.
The most profitable sale for investors in 2025 was MYX, with ATH ROI at 2103x, and it is still trading around 385x above the sale price today.
Overall, weak market conditions and shrinking attention spans turned token-sale investing into hard mode this year, pushing participants toward shorter holding periods and faster profit-taking.

Institutions Exit Crypto as ETFs See Billions in Outflows
While the market delivered mixed performance this year, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs broadly tracked the same flow cycle.
Institutions allocated aggressively when the macro ooked clear and risk appetite was strong, helping fuel the rally and channel capital into payments and RWAs.
When macro turned uncertain, the bid faded and inflows flipped to outflows, showing institutional crypto exposure is still a broader risk-on trade tied to global financial conditions, not a steady long-term allocation.
In 2026, if macro stabilizes, the Fed moves into cuts, and regulation becomes clearer, flows into major assets should turn steadier and less headline-driven.

2025: The Year Bitcoin Breaks Its 4-Year Cycle of Growth and Decline
For over a decade, Bitcoin has traditionally followed a cyclical price pattern: four consecutive years of price growth followed by one year of decline, repeating the cycle. However, 2025 broke this pattern, closing in the negative zone with a 6.28% price loss.
