Is a CeFi-to-DeFi rotation signaling crypto’s Q3 bottom? The data says…
FUD hit the crypto market in Q2, with over $600 million lost to exploits and a $20 billion TVL decline, the sharpest quarterly drop since 2021. This triggered widespread capital outflows from DeFi, exemplified by Aave's significant TVL decrease. However, early Q3 data suggests a potential reversal. Stablecoin inflows are rising across networks like Solana and Cardano, signaling returning risk appetite. Concurrently, CeFi lending saw its first quarterly decline since 2024. A key indicator is Aave's recent surge in new wallet addresses, its strongest since 2021. While more data is needed, these trends—rising on-chain liquidity, recovering TVL, and contracting CeFi activity—point to a possible CeFi-to-DeFi capital rotation, which could signal the market is bottoming ahead of a Q3 recovery.
