Decentralized finance (DeFi) has been a big part of the explosive growth seen across the cryptocurrency ecosystem in 2021 as decentralized exchanges like Uniswap and SushiSwap and lending protocols like Aave and Compound have added a new dimension of token utility.
Data from Messari’s DeFi Asset index shows that over the past 30 days, a majority of the top 10 DeFi tokens gained more than 20%, with the top gainer Terra (LUNA) seeing its price increase more than 116%.
