- Curve’s TVL has climbed by double digits since the year began.
- CRV’s value has dropped by 28% since the 1st of January.
Curve Finance [CRV] has seen a double-digit rally in its total value locked (TVL) since the year began.
This growth is significant, as it comes long after the protocol’s TVL plummeted to a two-year low following the July 2023 reentrancy hack.
After the hack, on the 31st of July 2023, Curve’s TVL had plunged to its lowest level since January 2021, according to data from DefiLlama.
AMBCrypto also reported that as the TVL decline continued, Curve lost its spot as one of the top ten decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols ranked by TVL.
Curve so far this year
According to data from DefiLlama, Curve’s TVL at press time was $2.12 billion, marking a 16% surge since the year began.
This uptick is partly due to the activity of crypto solutions provider Trident Digital, which set up a liquidity pool on Curve Finance as part of its efforts to increase liquidity and use of PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin across DeFi platforms.
