TVL in DeFi projects has dropped by $22 billion in the past week, erasing significant gains recorded in September and October. According to data shared today by market analyst Crypto Patel, the week experienced double-digit TVL declines across major chains as panic grips investors amid heightened market volatility. The drop in TVL is mainly driven by the broader macroeconomic concerns as reflected in the downturn in the larger crypto market. BTC and ETH, which currently stand at $102,042 and $3,429, have been down 7.9% and 11.9% over the past week, respectively, indicating significant sell-offs in multiple crypto assets.
