🚨 $10 BILLION IS NOW SITTING IN CRYPTO VAULTS — BUT THE WATCHDOGS JUST SHOWED UP 👀
A Financial Times report says deposits in crypto lending vaults have topped $10 billion — up from $4 billion at the start of last year (Blockworks data).
Here's what the data shows:
📊 The climb is steep: S&P Global puts vault deposits at $1.5B in Sep 2024 → $10B in Sep 2026. Live DefiLlama today shows Morpho alone at ~$11.1B TVL.
💧 The pull: standard vault strategies pay 3–10% a year; aggressive ones promise 20%+. Depositors are mostly fintechs, treasury firms and hedge funds — not retail.
📉 The contrast: spot BTC and ETH ETFs shed ~$549M last week while vault deposits kept growing. Capital is hunting yield on-chain.
The lesson: yield is rent paid by borrowers — when borrowers vanish, so does the yield. This is not a bank deposit.
Oversight usually follows money, not the other way around — volatility around these products tends to stay elevated while rules catch up.
Would you lock your crypto in a vault for 8% — or does that yield smell like trouble? 👇
