Ethereum blockchain monitor DeFi Pulse shows that the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi platforms across the blockchain currently stands at around $55 billion, down roughly 11% from an all-time high of about $62 billion locked on April 15th.

Although the total USD value locked in DeFi is down, the total number of ETH locked in Ethereum-based DeFi projects is hovering around all-time highs with approximately 10.74 million ETH deposited.

Of the other DeFi-related platforms built on Ethereum, decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap (UNI) holds nearly $6 billion locked, Curve Finance (CRV) has $5.32 billion and SushiSwap (DEX) $3.87 billion, all according to DeFi Pulse.
