The decentralized Cardano (DEFI) financial environment has increased significantly, the total locked value (TVL) developing by 13%. The peak, although impressive, is the product of several variables at work in the DEFI scene of blockchain.
This increase is due to major improvements in the protocol and a constant increase in the adoption of decentralized applications (DAPP), indicating a radiant future for the network.
Key upgrades and protocol improvements
Recent upgrades of the network have considerably facilitated the expansion of Cardano. The Ouroboros Peras protocol is remarkable for its influence on the governance and scalability of the blockchain. These modifications have improved transaction speeds, attenuated the congestion of the network and increased the DEFI engagement.
The recent Chang Hard fork has improved the features of the Cardano ecosystem, which makes it more attractive for the DEFI projects to initiate on the platform.
Cardano experienced substantial growth in the fourth quarter of 2024, the price of ADA going to $ 0.84. This rally led its market capitalization up 127% over a 30% quarter (QOQ) to $ 30.3 billion, despite a 2.2% drop in circulation supply, according to Messari data.
The ADA classification in the stock market cadavage in circulation happened from 11th to 9th, reflecting the growing confidence of investors and an increased network activity. The increase in market capitalization highlights increased demand, increased liquidity and a stronger presence in the wider market of cryptography, strengthening Ada’s position as a leading blockchain.
LIQWID Finance: a key growth factor in growth
One of the best -known Cardano, Liqwid Finance’s best -known DEFI protocols, has shown remarkable growth in terms of TVL and user engagement. With a decentralized approach, this protocol offers reasonable prices for loans and loans. Alongside the growing TVL TVL of Cardano, Liqwid Finance has become a key force behind this growing trend, presenting the decentralized financing potential on the platform.
Popularity of stablecoins
Another important change in the Cardano DEFI area is the rise of stablecoins. The Cardano Stablescoin market has increased thanks to the release and the use of more tokens on a number of DEFI systems. People have long considered the Cardano network as a reliable alternative to other blockchain systems, and this change shows how stable and attractive. Mixed results in NFT activity
Not all industries see the same trend even if Cardano clearly develops on the Defi market. The results on the Net Bubilist (NFT) tokens have been irregular. Although the overall volume of transactions has increased, several NFT projects and collectors have found it difficult to maintain a constant increase.
Meanwhile, the market capitalization of Cardano Stablecoin increased by 66% from one quarter to another. This shows that assets like Iusd and Djed are becoming more and more popular. But there were mixed signs of NFT activity. The average NFTS daily trading volume in USD increased by $ 86% to $ 78,900 because the ADA value increased. However, the number of sales and transactions has slightly dropped.
The increase in the 13% of Cardano of DEFI TVL and the market capitalization figures which rise illustrate the growing impact of blockchain on decentralized finance. While new updates continue to spread and protocols like Liqwid Finance gain popularity, the long -term prospects of the network seem brilliant.
