$15B capital rotation into DeFi last 7 days. Distribution tells you where real money is positioning, not where Twitter is talking.
Liquid staking absorbed $6.2B. Lending and bridges each took ~$4.4B. Meanwhile RWA—dominant narrative on timelines—bled 5% TVL.
Fee data more revealing: Privacy protocols +51% weekly, perps +36%. Tracks with $ZEC momentum. Capital flowing to where actual usage is happening, not where hype is.
Liquid staking bid = yield farming still works in this environment. Perp volume = directional bets being placed. Privacy spike = either regulatory front-running or post-$ZEC FOMO.
RWA underperformance despite media coverage = narrative/reality disconnect. If institutions were really allocating, TVL wouldn't be down.
Positioning question matters here. Staking = you're farming yield and waiting. Perps = you have a directional view. Stables = you're waiting for a better entry or risk-off.
