Crypto market data provider Santiment has reported that market cap of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols have lost over 25% within 24 hours.
Santiment, in a blog post, based on its assessment, has stated that trading volumes of daily DeFi tokens have declined by 30% overall, while latest market toppers such as Sushi (SUSHI), Uniswap (UNI) and Yearn Finance (YFI) were the worst hit tokens with weekly drawdowns of 51%, 38% and 31%, respectively.
“The crypto market has been engulfed in a sea of red this week, with most DeFi blue chips recording double digit losses over the past 7 days.”

Santiment also underlined that the aggregate value of DeFi assets at the time they finally moved on the MVRV blockchain has declined to a historical low, “indicating undervaluation” at prevailing price levels.
