Money sitting on-chain ≠ easy profits.
Per DefiLlama (Oct 2):
• Stablecoin mcap: ~$306B (+0.91% 7D)
• DEX spot vol: ~$59B (-12.49% WoW)
• Perps vol: ~$132B (-22.03% WoW)
Capital is there, but activity is bleeding out.
How I read DeFi:
→ Volume = usage
→ Revenue = real business
→ Yield source = sustainability
You need users first. Then the balance sheet matters. No traffic, no retention.
