Summer.fi Market Watch – April 14, 2025
Despite a broader DeFi slowdown, Ethereum's on-chain activity shows interesting patterns. On April 7, Ethereum recorded $2.2 million in network fees compared to $960,000 on Solana, while total value locked (TVL) across DeFi decreased by approximately 27% in Q1. This network activity indicates continued engagement with on-chain services even as overall TVL fluctuates. For experienced DeFi participants, these metrics provide context for the current market environment. With ongoing development in areas like restaking protocols, liquid staking tokens (LSTs), and protocol integrations, users are looking for efficient ways to manage their existing DeFi positions.
This surge in gas fees reflects a clear signal: yield is back on the radar. From restaking plays to stablecoin strategies, DeFi isn’t asleep it’s evolving. And in moments like these, where activity spikes and volatility brews, the smartest move isn’t to work harder… it’s to yield smarter.
