DeFi TVL $80.9 billion, down 0.8% week-over-week... Spark and Morpho on the rise

DeFi total value locked fell 0.8% week-over-week to $80.87 billion as of December 6, down roughly 28% from $111.9 billion at the start of the year, according to DefiLlama data. Ethereum maintained its dominant 54% share at $43.38 billion, followed by Base at $5.87 billion, Solana at $5.29 billion, BSC at $5.07 billion and Tron at $5.0 billion. Seven of the top 12 chains by TVL posted weekly declines, while Monad (+6.09%) and Arc (+5%) bucked the trend. The continued contraction matters because it signals persistent capital outflow from DeFi nearly a year into a broad drawdown. Spark and Morpho were cited as showing growth, and next week's chain-level TVL moves will indicate whether the pullback is broadening or stabilizing.
