DeFi TVL $76.6 billion, down 5.2% week-over-week… Ethena and Ark on the rise

DeFi total value locked fell 5.2% week-over-week to $76.608 billion as of the morning of the 13th, down roughly 32% from about $111.861 billion at the start of the year, according to DefiLlama. Ethereum retained the largest chain share at $40.454 billion (53%), followed by Base at $5.646 billion, Solana at $5.036 billion, BSC at $4.907 billion and Tron at $4.892 billion. Ten of the top 12 chains by TVL posted weekly declines, with only Arc (+2.54%) and Monad (+0.04%) gaining. The broad drawdown matters because it signals continued capital flight from DeFi months into the year, leaving Ethereum's dominant share and the handful of chains still attracting deposits as the key indicators to watch.
