Ethereum’s total value locked in DeFi reaches ATH of 4.4 million

Decentralized Finance [DeFi] has seen enormous growth in terms of products and platforms providing services, over the past few months. The charts reflect growth potential for Ethereum as it set a new record for the total value locked in DeFi projects denominated in Ether.

According to DeFi Pulse, the Total Value Locked [ETH] in DeFi, exhibited a gradual rise in the total value locked. On 25 November this number hit an all-time high at 4.44 million.

Subsequently, Ethereum locked in DeFi also reported a new record with 2.7 million. The value had been climbing over the past few days and breached its previous ATH.
