Cardano DeFi TVL Plunges 16% in 24 Hours Despite A
Despite Cardano’s impressive price performance yesterday, its DeFi sector suffered a sharp setback.
According to DeFiLlama data, Cardano’s total value locked (TVL) plunged 16.17% over the past 24 hours, falling from $64.83 million to $54.35 million.
Notably, the decline came even as ADA surged more than 10% and reclaimed the $0.19 level. Typically, a strong price rally can boost investor confidence and encourage greater capital inflows into DeFi. However, DeFiLlama’s latest data shows the opposite trend, with TVL now sitting 87.56% below its August 2025 high of $437.2 million.
Cardano’s DeFi Metrics Show Mixed Performance
Although TVL has dropped sharply, other DeFi metrics are showing some resilience. For instance, Cardano’s stablecoin market capitalization increased 0.58% over the past week to $67.51 million.
However, DEX activity has weakened considerably, with trading volume falling 63.07% to $5.9 million. In contrast, derivatives and perpetual trading activity has strengthened, surging 92.7% over the past week to $27.82 million.
