| 16 |  +3Capital that used to churn roughly twice a day is now turning over less than one and a half times. Trading has thinned out considerably, but the size is still there.
Perp DEX volume has fallen sharply over the past year, but open interest hasn't. Comparing two back-to-back six-month windows, average daily volume across perp DEXs fell from $32.4B to $21.4B, down to 66% of its prior level.
Open interest fell too, but far less, from $16.4B to $14.8B, or 90% of its prior average.
Dividing the two, turnover dropped from 1.98x to 1.45x.
In the fallout of the 10/10 crash, the scene was shaken up. Aster, Lighter, and edgeX all hit individual peaks just before, but have yet to once again experience those levels of activity.
Even Hyperliquid's dominance shrank along with its OI, from $14.6B on July 26, 2025 (89% OI market share), to a $4.77B bottom on Feb 7, 2026 (49% OI market share).
Of the six protocols that averaged more than $1B/day in the first half, none held onto that pace in the second:
β ApeX Omni came closest at 80.9% of its prior volume,
β Hyperliquid next at 79.2%,
β then Variational (51.7%),
β edgeX (50.7%),
β Aster (49.6%),
β and Lighter, the steepest drop, at 27.3%.
GRVT stands out: it averaged $796M/day in the first half, then grew to $1.32B/day (+166%).
On open interest, restricting to protocols still holding more than $100M in Period B, six exceed their own prior-period OI:
β Extended (497.7% of prior),
β GRVT (161.3%),
β ApeX Omni (133.2%),
β edgeX (116.4%),
β Ostium (111.3%),
β and Aster (105.7%).
GMTrade and StandX still show the same volume-outlier pattern: GMTrade went from a negligible $2.2M/day to $642.2M/day, and StandX grew from $112.5M/day to $608.3M/day.

| 17 |  1250+ RWAs, 600+ perps markets, thousands of DeFi protocols.
Introducing V2 of the DefiLlama RWA dashboard, the deepest resource on tokenized assets and how theyβre used in DeFi.
Whatβs new:
Expanded Coverage: Weβve expanded coverage from 450 onchain RWAs to over 1,200.
RWA Perps: Weβve listed over 600 RWA perp markets, with over $4B in open interest and over $100B in monthly volume. We also added 23 Forex perp markets across 5 different exchanges.
Inflows/Outflows: Market cap changes now split into inflows vs. price appreciation. Is new money entering tokenized gold or is it growing due to price?
DeFi Active TVL: See exactly where each asset is deployed in DeFi, now visible by protocol and chain.
Extensive Historical Data: Our historical coverage of RWAs has been backfilled with years of data.
Intuitive categorizations: We added an βAsset Groupβ field for RWAs, which categorizes them in terms investors actually use.
RWA Yields: RWA asset pages now feature yields, both native asset yields and opportunities within DeFi.
