How It's Calculated
Total TVL today vs. 7 days ago. A positive 7-day change reads Growing, negative reads Shrinking.
How This Differs From Stablecoin Liquidity
Stablecoin Liquidity tracks dry powder sitting in USD-pegged tokens, ready to deploy but not yet used. TVL tracks capital already deployed into DeFi protocols — and moves with the price of what's locked (a broad rally can lift TVL with zero new deposits), not purely a fresh-capital signal.
Why It Matters
A rising TVL means more capital and activity is flowing into DeFi protocols specifically, beyond just holding or trading spot assets.
