DeFi is back in business.

DeFi is back in business.
Protocols earned $600M in fees this September — and counting. 💰
After a wild memecoin year, the vibe in DeFi is shifting. Since March, fee revenues have climbed steadily, hitting around $600 million last month. The champs? $UNI with a clean $136M, and $AAVE close behind with $99M. Not bad for a “bearish” market, hein?
What’s changing is the mindset. The focus is moving from hype and memes to fundamentals — revenues, yields, buybacks. Classic TradFi tactics making their way into the decentralized world. And it’s not by accident: more institutional money is flowing in, and those players care about sustainable metrics, not just vibes.
DeFi is maturing — less casino, more finance. But still with that sweet permissionless touch that made us fall in love in the first place. 🌿
