They say what must comes up must go down. Maybe the defi projects needed a break or probably someone getting ready on a new concept that is related to defi. Yield farming rates depend on the APY so when it goes down due to massive farmers rates will go down to. But there is a project called core which designed a very sophisticated farming where liquidity is locked on the smart contract. Ive noticed many adopting its method and quite noticed its not affected with the defi blown out like what is on the list. Did you heard of it?

Here you go mate.

Its also a farming. I remember when the conducted a presale all for sale was in a form of liquidity tokens that are used to fa core tokens. Its not typical presale on shitcoins that if you bought you get the tokens. You will buy the liquidity or v2 portion of what you contributed and start farming. Though the v2 can be sell on otc if you want to quit already or any peer to peer group. Compared to traditional setting of farming this is way more a good concept for me.

Anyway just checked the details. I appreciate if you could make a review since youre good on doing things mate. Now the trend changing to this kind now.

if it is over we can see which projects have increased and will remain viable for the future.
Some projects may have gone up since the price of ICO / Ieo was launched and projects that rely solely on the hype defi will certainly disappear in the near future.

Obviously, the hype is dying down, investors have made their X.  of course there will still be many interesting DEFI projects with which to work.  Now there are many scam projects coming out as before in ICO.

You are probably right. I have been keeping track of some of the Defi projects like Chainlink and the price is indeed falling for 30days.

https://www.worldcoinindex.com/trending/overview (https://www.worldcoinindex.com/trending/overview)

That's why a lot of people claimed the Defi projects to be a hype and the think with hype is that the price go down eventually.

Yes probably the interest for DeFi is end, probably we will have a new hype for a new airdrop like UNISWAP. I hope that great projects will come out in these weeks because for me defi is only scam, declared scam

Of course, they made a profit and they got out of them to move on to other DEFI projects. I find that CEFI on CEX is more profitable and is guaranteed to be stable.
Partly due to bitcoin's bullish trend stopping in some news, people are putting their money in reserve.
We should not just look at the ATH and current prices, but rather look at them from time to time. Personally, DEFI is still making a good profit over the past 90 days up to this point.

I don't think the DeFi hype is over because many DeFi projects are still running to get more investors to their project, and they are waiting for the right time to make a noise at the market like before. Maybe we don't see what the project does, but I am sure that the team is still trying to make sure the project can finish as scheduled. Many DeFi projects that have been launched at the market now is down too deep. And many of the tokens can not lift the price to the last high price. Maybe that is because the bitcoin price still does not increase so high, making the DeFi still waiting and trying to invite more investors. We will see what happen to the DeFi project later, and if the DeFi still has the power to increase, it will rise again.

I haven't heard much about them lately tbh, but it doesn't look like it's a struggling trend either. DeFi will continue with lots of scams exactly like other trends have continued, although older DeFi projects will probably just fall until the projects die away. It's a shame that we have these hypes around spreading bad names about cryptocurrencies and unfortunately lots of people have lost significant parts of their investments through them, but it is what it is.. :)

This was bound to happen. From what I have noticed, in the cryptocurrency sector the tendency is to cash out from new innovations even before they are being developed properly. DeFi is a great idea and can go wonders if implemented properly. But already too many players have attempted to enter this sector and to make quick cash. They fail to understand that you need to have a working product first, before you can try to encash it. Gone are the days when people would we willing to pay you millions, just for a good idea.

I do not see the Uniswap project in the list but I know that Uniswap is doing well especially that they got a good market price increase in the market after being successfully implemented their projects and working well. They got already a good swap records in their platform knowing that they had a very secured platform from being a decentralized sort of exchange. I do not know where they get the deposits but they had a good holdings of cryptocurrency probably. Anyway, there is also a centralized exchange like uniswap but also good in scalability. I think that exchange will also do better but it is not consider as Defi project because it was a centralized project.

That is the real plan in the first day, that's why they make this new idea and of course when there is a money already in front of  their face they will secure it by selling thier shares to investors that willing to take risk just to follow the hype and hoping to earn profit by investing in defi project..
It's predictable the only thing we are waiting is when it will ended, it's the same hype with ICO ,IEO and now move to defi .

Price drop is not an indicator of the trend being over or not. Some bad news may have come into view and crashed the market. You need to think from a neutral point of view when talking about these things.

I also dont like the hype that DeFi created and put that one scummy lending pools and stablecoin pools than actualy DeFi projects which did something for a service. However that does not mean that I would agree to your post. Maybe it is declining, but it is too early considering the average duration for which the previous bubbles remained active.

Whoa! just checked the project's CMC and, I am surprised that even without a good CEX listing that project has a whopping 31M dollar volume. What will happen when some good high volume CEX lists it lol? Looking like an interesting project, but sadly it's too expensive for me lol.

It's over because new concepts always born new scammer that will take advantage of hype to steal money, there is many project using DeFi concept Rug pull and steal investor money, then investor getting scared to invest in new project because there is to many scammers, be carefull for those who new to DeFi project, you might getting scammed if you didnt carefully invest.

I believe the hype may not be over just yet, it is just collected in few places which makes this difference. Sushi was big as well and the reason why it went down that much is the thing the owner did where he basically forcefully took some money out for "doing all the work" and people obviously got mad at it, they would get mad if satoshi came out and said he is taking the first million bitcoins as well, but what happened already happened.

So, you have taken some coins that lost money recently but if you look at ethereums last years price it has gone up a lot, this is the same coin that peaked at 1500 and after that dropped as low as 80 dollars, others could be new ones but there are super profitable ones that went up which you didn't listed as well, you should take a look at them too.

I predict this since the start of DeFi . The hype at the start and then stabilize after the first year has been passed (if the project strong enough).
There will be a lot of DeFi Project but who can survive not more than half. Mostly the surviver is the project with financial support and has a solid community and of course with real use case.

Remembering few years ago a lot of security token project, but now only few security token project have really survived.

Just a personal opinion

Yep. They were always the shittiest of crap coins, no use case. I think I'd finally forgotten about him, now I have to remember this once more. As you express that some projects have already crashed down below 90%, DeFi hype may proceed little more longer but pretty sure no longer so profitable. However, There are so many who got this in beginning stage and they picked up good value of money because of name value.

I think DeFi hype is still not over. But a lot of them are already starting to dig their grave even the new DeFis that were launched couple of months ago. As you said, I haven't seen the actual use case of most of these platforms with the special mention of this YFI, has anyone been curious how their price is so expensive while their services are still in beta?

Finnally they will be forgotten and remembered only for the big airdrops. A lot of users investing in these coins lost a lot of money but this is because they don't study project and only follow the crowd

Im not following anymore cause I dumped my few tokens already. From what I read and heard. They are bulding a new sequence where cex listing can also attributed to the staked tokens of the users farming it. Dont know but core protocol is pretty solid already. They sont need cex for them to keep moving forward. It is cex will benefit on the demand and volume will be added on their exchange actually.

Only few will survive, I said that in some thread on this board but many think I'm a anti-Defi and  likely a centralize agent.
This is not different from ICO madness, the only difference is there where no new inflow of money in market capitalization. Its the same funds from bitcoin and some other alts due to market dominance reduction and the few recent Usdt printing (brrrrr ;D) by the institutional investors that were fomo into this DeFi.

The hype is over and dump has not even began until the beast( Btc ) start major corrections. Hope US election don't affect the stock market and the rest.

Yes, DeFi hype is probably blown away and we will never see such growth rates of hundreds of percent. Once again, we have verified that the bandwidth of the Ethereum network is insufficient for mass payments.

I'd rather agree with other point of OP which claims crypto market is in altered state, correction sort of.
So its only a phase before even bigger growth.
I believe in this not only because my investments are in the red zone right now, but also because I see a lot of really good and promising projects suffer from what I believe is market fluctuation.
Otherwise, we wouldn't see whole market just fall constantly non stop, literally each and every coin.

Yeah seems like the defi hype slowly comes to an end. There are still appearing new crappy yield farming projects every day but they have a hard time getting any attention or funding unlike a few weeks ago.
It will be interesting to see how many of those defi projects are still around in 1 year.
I bet a few will be because they have a solid team and use case but most of them will vanish. Those people who made a lot of money with this hype will not care about that of course  :)

3 steps away, 1 step back, another 1 step back, and another...again and again...That is how I describe Defi.

Many were saying Defi is the future of crypto and absolutely they got the answer (it is very quick). The response of the people isn't looking good. They can't easily forget about the altcoins bearish season where it shocks the market and many investors jump into. But somehow surprises them back when seeing the market and their investment went nothing. This might be the same for the Defi projects.

I don't think so, today or yesterday burger came out, it should be binance farming if I remember correctly
so I don't think it's finished, and I think we'll see more! who knows what the next few months have in store for us, I'm very curious!

DeFi is very exciting

Indeed the hyip is over. From the image, it has dawn on most people that were running after hype that the party is over and it is now time to know the projects that are serious with their development and those that are just after money. The truth is, they might fall more on price until the project is left with only investors who cares about the use case, so that means that in a project where the use case is nothing to write home about, it will keep dumping until it becomes worthless.
What the correction will give is that, only few projects will remain and they might not attain their ATH again.
Furthermore, I agree with your last point, the market will be cleared of all garbage Defi projects as they will all be exposed, good ones stays and bad ones goes. Not only that, any other DeFi project coming will now be ready to work because no one would like to invest just for the sake of hype or whatever.

This is very interesting, indeed at this time the DeFi project has started to decline maybe because of the many DeFi scam projects and also the influence of current world economic factors that make many people trade short-term to support their daily economy
it's just my thoughts, maybe anyone has thoughts like me?

I don’t think the hype is over, a lot people are still buying them and new batches of Defi’s emerges almost every week and people should gotta be careful and be aware of these things. There are real Defi’s but also there are tons of fake.

With the eth transaction and gas fee going down considerably from what it was in august and september this year we can easily assume that the defi craze is settling now and i will be hapoy with a stable and more mature defi environmemt with real and serious busimess models flourishing.

We are yet to see new Defi in this market, we are expecting few more promising  Defi projects in few weeks. I believe the successful crowdfund of those projects will sustain my trust in the hype of Defi in this market. The present dump in the market was predicted and the whole market is affect but the bitcoin and Ethereum maintain the range of dump for the past few weeks, nothing in 60% dump in price like in the Defi. It is a controlled dump

The whole cryptomarket is down so I can’t say that the hype was over and maybe this is also part of the cycle and when bitcoin recovers, the market will follow.

This is too early for a DeFi project to die, I’m expecting them to continue the trend until the end of the year but the recent dump proves it that DeFi will also go down no matter what the hype is. If the bull trend begin again and DeFi is still down, that’s the time I can say the Hype is over.

The prices are going down and i think they will go down much more because the way they went up simply was unnatural and many experienced people here were even warning the community about short term hype but we saw some people were blindly chasing each defi project and with the situation now they must be regretting.

Anyone can easily judge this after seeing this price chart that the initial defi hype and fomo period is over but the good projects and their tokens will soon find long term support and then range trade for a few months which some people also call as accumulation phase and afyer that potentially we will see next move up.

The hype died since September, and the only reason the market was still very active was as a result of the hype coming from new top exchange listing as the likes of Binance started listing anything related to DeFi to keep the volume on their exchange. Many gullible newbie were decieved by this as they most had probably rely on these exchange for Investing recommendation based on the new listing. Basically the coins were dump on the new investors getting expose to this project.

If you observed carefully most DeFi project has already done massive return of investment in the DeFi exchanges like Uniswap before they got the exposure big centralized exchanges offer. Anybody that must had bought within the time frame of late August to early weeks of September they obviously have to be in lost if they're still holding.

They hype is over but the technology is not over, the market was just over shallowed by worthless project which the current market situation will eliminate most of them and only the best will survive.

Seems that hype was just for a short term I didn't even manage to invest on DeFi and yet most of the projects are turning red now. Does is still have a chance that some DeFi project will stay long?

too early for it to be over. defi has just started. lets get this crypto space more profitable with defi. :D

the peak has just reached. its time to dive but if the project has a good support, it may not be dumped too much and will continue to beat its ATH while its breaking resistances. i'm still rooting for LEND when it finally bottoms, i might just buy more of it.

Looks like the DeFi hype is dying down slowly :D,I always knew these day would come when DeFi will no longer be the talk town, although
people still talk about it  now, because everyday different team of individuals keep bringing new defi projects, and to be honest 98% of these new projects keep bringing sh*tty coins, with no real use case, most scammers would have even taken this opportunity to still some funds from investors and give them their sh*t coins :D in exchange, anyway goodbye to DeFi trend, let's just see what comes up next 8).

HYPES can't be long enough to stay just like we experience last 2017. We got bullish in just a few months but it drops for about a year. That is how the market it looks like and you can't expect that everything will be just fine all the time because after this hype, dips will follow, and investors have already sold their investment.
Well, I don't think was the end of crypto but I assured of that only legit project will be left and those fake projects will totally be dead.

It seems that DeFi hype is over, if you look at most DeFi projects the price continues to fall. This indicates that investors have started
to leave the DeFi project and are looking for other, more profitable trends. I myself haven't dared to buy DeFi projects, even though
the current price is low enough to buy. I don't dare to take the risk by buying DeFi projects, because I'm afraid the price will continue to fall.
My advice is we just pay attention to the development of DeFi projects for the next few weeks, if there is no price increase from DeFi projects,
then I make sure DeFi projects are over.

DeFi is much more than just a growing rapidly ecosystem of cool projects. It is a massive and complex effort to create the coolest parallel ETH based financial system that competes with centralized services. It is supposed to be more transparent and accessible.

do not be too quick to believe the new system that was launched and with a phenomenally very high price, but there is no reflection that there are indeed many who make transactions which some indicate that it is a certainty that it is the trust of investors.
but things like this will keep repeating itself again and there will be no end because they really want to make instant profits that can be done quickly. the behavior of people who continue to seek profit from the bounty scam.

I hope that not many victims are deceived by this defi because it will clearly make crypto prone to misuse.

agree
since the ICO period we have learned and learned many things, much is left of ICOs
I think that DEFI adds another piece to the decentralized parallel system, a system that will make everything more efficient and resilient in the near future

is yield farming still defi ? because this is now the latest trend as i have seen them anywhere  after the sushi and swap/uni hype .  the chart that you provide shows us a red and major dump from the coins , it looks like most coins goes on the same pattern . this is what we are saying , that we must not go fomo in a way of buying the latest craze coins especially if those coins came out of nowhere because tragedy can happen  . this serves as a warning sign for those who are still waiting for more upcoming projects .

Oh I think that there are red days for the entire market, not only for defi projects. I like trading on defi coins, they are more dynamic and recently most exchanges show high daily volumes.

There is no doubt that the hype of Defi is going towards an end. I do not understand how many projects can run through this hype.
I see that every other project is based on it, I think this is probably the major reason for the downfall of Defi, now developers will have to think about what kind of project do they have to start, and what will be its use case.
The condition of projects which depended on hype is in front of everyone.

The dyfi hyip has just begun, day after day more and more new projects are being developed that involve more and more people. A lot of frank scam, but there are also some really healthy products that we all use.

I guess so. After the sushiswap, uniswap, yearn.finance abd the likes defi projects had turn defi now in silence. I do not know if there could be more Defi projects that will going to achieve like those projects mention above.

Actually there are few good upcoming ICO, DEFI or IEO projects but are not listed or promoted in the forum instead they relay on other ways of spreading awareness or promoting of their project.

One way is to use the survey sites or like the ICO drops for a good list of bounty hunting.

The DeFi has been all a hype project. Most have been strategy to dump on innocent investors who thought it was genuine but now what is left is the technology and lets us see how long the tech we spread in the cryptocurrency space.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What I need to state? Well, DeFi coins have taken the biggest upside, which implies they have the biggest downside too. There's a total market correction going on. This is evident we're her to survive, in case innocent investors were effected most. There's a motivation behind why.

At the end of this year the DeFi Project will probably die little by little all the fans will leave the DeFi Project we can see from now that the price that can't be controlled will then go down

I can’t say that defi projects hype is over because there are still new projects pop out even in social media. People are still going with the trend just to earn money from it.  The best thing that we can do is not to fall in these trap although there are still some good project. Imo, possible the hype will subside eventually and only those legit projects will remain in this industry.

DEFI will convert to a moderate and lower profit margin. Interest will come from reality and people will have a broader approach to DEFI for many years to come.
I think that DEFI projects have been overblown over the past time, leading to FOMO of the market.

Just like the 2017 ICO, the projects that just went on exchanges were overvalued and they collapsed after the market started its downward trend.

From my view Defi is still in uptrend and now we have just correction

Look for example at YFFII, very interesting project, before pump, stake working,

Maybe it will be next YFII ( But price is 100 times smaller :) )

To date, DeFi has still not lost its relevance and interest from investors, but one must take into account the fact that scammers have begun to use the current situation and the risk, as well as the danger, is increasing several times.

DeFi hasn't reached it's top yet. There are still projects popping up nearly every day (from various food coins to other clones). Most of these projects have absolutely no value and won't be around long term. It really reminds me of the ICO hype in 2017, but this time it's even worse. Hopefully some serious projects will come up pretty soon.

If you guys want to check if a new DeFi project might be another scam, I advise you to check the  Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) board here in the forum. DeFi scams get exposed there almost every day and our community is doing a great job fighting these scammers.

That's what I thought, it looks like Q4 2020 is the end of the DeFi hype. And after that there will be another new hype in 2021. Because too many new projects take advantage of this hype, and end up with huge losses for investors.

I've seen right now becoming liqudiity provider is not really profitable anymore except some really few coins and even worst some of the coin gives minus ROI.
Something that's hyped up beyond common sense always ended up like this. It's that ICO cycle all over again and people really need to realize that not all project are good project and need some more research.

DeFi hypes are still very much alive but not as strong as what we've seen in the past so I won't use the word 'over' , i believe that DeFi market is presently facing corrections which I was expecting already, coins don't go up forever, there will always be correction times

Like some here i missed this boat completely and i am sure many made a healthy profit in these before these major correction. First thing is that it was inevitable that the market would correct as majority of the projects were built upon empty promises and the prices were soaring without any substance and i was wondering what makes them valuate like this.

Lets see whether these projects will recover with bitcoin rally in sights anything is possible.

IMO, DeFi is over, we could see return to old good altcoins.

It will not end unless there is a new program that can replace the system like Defi. I mean like ICO, then ITO, then IEO, then DEFI and the next is still a question mark. But if you want to follow market trends, especially Defi, get out immediately after getting enough profit. Staying in the hype for long is not a good decision. I remember FOMO.

And what interesting things you saw in these forks YFFII and YFII, which were created in order to distribute among those who did not have time to buy a YFI token at a low price. The YFI developer himself said that this token is useless. Then how useful can it be the forks?

I have been expecting this kind of event.  The sudden surge of price means a quicker decline of it since the market cannot sustain the price.  The worst, big holders often see the opportunity in the surging market to take an exit and dump their huge stash resulting in a price crash of the DEFI market.  To those optimistic of the DeFi market, they will look at this as an opportunity to bag more tokens but I would say that we must be very vigilant and observant always do your research and do not fall for the hype.

It is good to see market settling and i personally support organic growth rather than some quick growth due to just hype and big expectations.
I think good defi projects will sustain and in two or more years defi market will grow substantially big into a super new crypto based business.

Yes, I agree with you, DeFi still has time to correct and to determine the top projects that will be based on it, the hype has not ended yet, we will notice the time at which this hype ends when DeFi heads the market and when we have enough innovative projects that will benefit from this system, and we will be able Carefully choose the DeFi project in which we will put our money, but now there is a risk and we should not rush and you must gain experience in uncovering the project accurately.

Maybe the defi hype is not completely over but now the defi hype has lost its popularity a bit and I predict that at the beginning of the month until the end of the year the 80% defi hype will die, only those who have large volumes can survive

Still I'm not sure if this DeFi hype is over or not because I saw so many legit projects like dfinance. We know that still some ICO are getting successful in this correct time. Bitcoin correction time isn't over yet, so we don't know the next move of new altcoins. Our privacy always needs in future with more security, which is found in only DeFi projects.

Most of these new concepts are designed as crowd funding technique. They have no real-time application so when the developers have got enough subscribers, the project begins to wind up.

Defi has not yet come into hype and we can't expect larger volumes to come at the first place these days. As the previous bounce of cryptocurrency market, no all coins had soar during those times but rather fall back down after quick market crash. Popularity wise, I do believe it really influenced many people and still more famous nowadays. We only need to be more consistent on our asset and wait for market to recover slowly.

The current DEFI hype has many similar points like ICOs and the new trend is not over yet, unfortunately. After the Uniswap craziness, the prices were pumped and many centralised exchanges have listed UNI for trading. The new projects will not spot at this point, so I still look for hidden gem altcoins in order to invest more. When the right time arrives, I will dump on the market rate before the end of the hype. The way smart trader take risks is same in all market conditions, it is easy to learn but very very hard to master. In volatiles markets, the prices can change 10% faster than blink of an eye. Considering this, day trading in HYPEd altcoins is very risky. Inexperienced trader should avoid to trade volatile DEFI coins.

most projects go through a fantastic, rapid rise, then fall free. like fast food, it's good to eat when it's warm, when we lose that timing it doesn't taste good anymore. We have to really understand this ecosystem, if we are just hooked on FOMO without preparing a strategy and analysis, let alone just relying on luck, then we can't survive. Cryptocurrency is full of surprises, but don't insist on getting on an already fast-moving train.

Monitoring throughly all your DeFi investment is the key to really earn from it. It is hard to monitor the DeFi projects prices before since the hype is too much that prices changes too high in just days or within that day. It also affects the market too much whenever an investor dump theirs many will follow. We should learn from ICO that it's not good to hold too long in new projects so we need to check it and study their graphs every now and then as well add more time alloted for DeFi news and also in some events of other DeFi like Uni Airdrop or any news related to not miss any event that will changed their price too fast. The popularity is getting slower this time since there are already DeFi projects that make names and prove worthy in terms of trading already but still many is able to earn from new DeFi projects even the hype isn't not  high by dumping it early when they already earned.

Defi hype is not over neither did it lost it popularities and if you check the capital market and coingecko youll different new Defi projects listed everyday. I think what happening now is that there competition in the Defi market so investors are now splitting their investment in other not to miss the potential others Defi project pose. However, if the reason for this topic was because of the down trend in the Defi market, that means you guys don't understand every crypto in the market experienced the downtrend.

Yeah I do think so because there are no current defi projects now that has been going well except for few ongoing project that has been brought by legend users here in the forum.

I think defi now will be changed for NFT, there is a thread here that has been started already for a new better than ICO, STO, EIO and Defi. Well, we can be sure unless all will going to be implemented and see the result that could be done.

I think it is still moving at the moment in terms of this things dude, Although the price of YFI recently almost reach more than 35k$ each but right now it dumped more than 50%, meaning those investors who bought in between 20k$ up 30k$ are now obviously cried out due to already loss their profit.

There is always a hype when something new comes around in the crypto community because people have a hidden FOMO which enables them to invest huge as soon as a new technology comes in the market and when people heard that the whole finance system and the banking thing is now going to get decentralized people were curious and excited but the truth is that it is not as easy and worth as it looked initially, I am still hopeful it would be good and the use of the the technology will bring some great tokens and projects but it looks just about flat now.

I am fond of reading various articles and videos about DEFI and one article I recommend you to read is - https://cointelegraph.com/news/defi-hype-has-just-begun-says-neo-founder because it has made some good points and it comes from the Neo founder so has some weight on it.

Seems like there are already falling from the hype but there are also staying strong like Polkadot and Chainlink in which until now is in Green zone.

i remember the Thread created for that Sushiswap last month when the price is really blooming but now?the thread is already silently no post at all.

maybe OP is just pointing that Majority of this Defi coins are now in fall,and those still in good positions are the legit one and may stay long in terms of rankings.

As far as I can see, it's time for the Defi trend to be extinguished.  It was like any trend, started with a super big bubble and it was quickly extinguished after a few months.  The list above is missing Hakka, UNI, DIA, ... all of which have not seen any recent growth.  So this is a quite risky investment time for defi projects, be careful.
P / s: In my experience, the end of the year will be the time when the whales sell off to prepare for the new year, and that will be the official end of the Defi trend.

For sure it is an expected correction after bizarre pump caused by UNI drop.
It will take up to a month (my personal prediction) for market to settle down and figure things out - I thing bigger hype is on the road, defi projects are yet to be really practical, so there is a room for improvement for sure.

I highly doubt that the DeFi hype is over, this deep price dive was pretty much inevitable as some DeFi price action was totally ludicrous and irrational, so I would say that this is a buying opportunity, an opportunity to bag HQ projects like Band at a major discount. That being said, I would stay away from obscure DeFi projects for now, they may not survive this current bloodbath.

The Defi hype is slowly fading away, thats why we can expect more dips in the following days in those Defi base tokens, But I'm sure many investors are still stuck in those previous price peak particularly in YFI token I hope they will be okay, that was the negative effect of overhyping it cost you a lot of money.

Its not going to be over soon, it will take months or years or until another hype came to get the attention of the investors.

Anyways if you know a defi project is really good (by conducting an extensive research) then go ahead and take advantage the price dip because its an opportunity to make money out of it.

Yes, You are right. DiFi falling day by day.

I wonder if the hype is really over or just the price has been stabilised?

DeFi Tokens Plunge In A Wide Sell-off, Is This The DeFi Bubble Burst? (https://www.worldcoinindex.com/news/defi-tokens-plunge-in-a-wide-sell-off-is-this-the-defi-bubble-burst)

I still remember the time when this UNISWAP airdrop is all over here. I also saw some in social media platforms.
I didn't join to this airdrop because I already said to myself that I will not touch anything related to DeFi until the hype is here.

Base on the picture the OP has posted, most of them are below the initial price already which is like what most of the ICO projects did way back 2017. Pity for those who invested and got hyped in the DeFi?? Hell no. This is a lesson to them that don't invest into projects that already hyped unless they know when to enter and exit.

The hype is still there but it is decreasing gradually.

Are you new to crypto? Its not like a gold or most of stocks - it is a volatile market, and at first it looks like the end of the world.
But eventually, it will be good for most of crypto investors, unless you a) fomo sell on the dip b)fomo buy when something already blewup and mooned.

Now Some people will come with a new idea related to DeFi. The hype is gone and smart people make money in this hype. I can still remember a tweet of vitalli. He said that DeFi investors are ignoring the risk of smart contracts. He knew something like this will happens and now we saw project go -90% in a few months.



Only strong project will survive the next phase. The market will clean up all the garbage project surely and DeFi will remain as a technology.

A lot of scammers were taking the advantage of the lack of regulation in the DeFi market and were doing notorious activities by scamming people by creating fake DeFi projects and on a daily basis a lot of new projects were announced due to which it became very hard for the investors to find the right projects to invest in, but now these scams are going down in number and I guess in future we will see lot more genuine projects than these scams. Everyone is including the defi name in their projects to get cashed on the hype as well.

You did not need to join it,,, you automatically had it if you even just had a Uniswap account but yeah I got nothing since I never even touched uniswap or sushiswap or any swap. This is all a big game for a few people and the millions of players do not realize they are about to reach Game Over very soon.

Right from time I used to say that this hype will die off. This is not the first time that I am seeing new ideas and projects being released and being hyped. And you will see lots of investors rushing in because they are thousands of APY, and at the end everything will come crashing. Like they are being called: yield farmers, that’s their only plan, to make money and then they will dump it on small investors and leave the project.

Some of the so called DeFi projects doesn’t even seem reliable, and what I don’t like about most of them is the fact that their founders are always anonymous. Anyone that’s investing in these projects has to be careful. It will be difficult for them to recover this time around after the crash.

With the bitcoin price moves now, it seems the DeFi starts to increase too. We can see that the project is trying to lift the price, although it is slowly, the other DeFi project can jump to the high price. Maybe the DeFi project is still rising until the next year, but that will only happen if that project still has supports to make the project survive in the market. We don't know when this HYIP will end, but we can use it to profit from the DeFi, so you can be ready for this because who knows, the next week will be good for us to make money.

I think the defi ecosystem is acting contrary to what you think. Actually I am expecting the defi platforms to have an uptrend these coming days. The projects adopting defi are getting more and more in numbers and I am thinking that it is getting more and wider awareness. Once people accepts the idea I am sure we are in for a bullish run.

That's certainly true, mate. Since most people are in it for the money, they throw all of their life savings on "De-Fi" platforms with the hopes of getting a quick buck. Many have taken the advantage of "De-Fi's" high interest rates, saturating the industry. Remember, with high risks, comes high rewards. But human greed goes above all else, leading towards many undesired losses in the long run. At least, people will get to learn a lesson once they lose all of their hard-earned cash. "De-Fi" is still experimental with its ups and downs every once in a while. We'll have to wait until the space matures in order to determine the stability of "De-Fi" platforms.

For now, it's best to focus on "De-Fi" tokens with low interest rates in order to reduce risks as much as possible. Getting profit is not guaranteed, since "De-Fi" is based on current market trends and algorithms. But if you play your cards right, you'll be able to succeed in this wild and crazy world of crypto. During "De-Fi's" early days, you'll see many platforms come and go. But only those with real use cases and mainstream adoption, will thrive in the long run. I believe Uniswap, Aave, and Compound will remain alive while the rest will go down the drain. In this period of uncertainty, it's best to proceed with caution. Just my thoughts ;D

I am not sure if it ended, I really hope it ends very soon and I do not want to see it continue forever but I am not sure it is there yet. We need to talk about how defi is not what people think it is a lot more in order to make people realize that they are investing for the wrong reasons, we haven't done that yet.

There was so much hype around defi that people are still getting involved because they think it is going to make them rich over night, obviously it is not going to make them rich over night, but they just get in hoping that they will be super wealthy when they sell, which is wrong.

But, why do they do something wrong? Why do we know and they don't know? Because we have been around a lot longer or because we can see logically while they are new or they are hyped.

It should be fine with upcoming days because we know that when any new things come to crypto market it will be go to all times higher than others due to hype will created by the investor, so after that hype it will be fall like that what you you showed at your post and I hope it will bounce back in near future.

It's not dead I can tell, in fact twitter is full of DeFi project promotions, there are new defi projects announced their starting date this year. Why you're hoping to end it? lol it gives the crypto market massive movement making it to appear in mainstream media, the only thing I hate about this is that they congested a single network ( ETH ) and generating high fees for the past months. I remember sending $2 in ETH and paying $3.23 fees for it *facepalm*

Natural organic grow this what attracts me to invest in any coin or project because prices going up too fast is a sign of un-natural and un-sustainable growth which will get reversal and deep corrections as well and seems to be the case with most of the defi projects as well. I hope we will see organic growth from now on that will depend on project acceptance, userbase, popularity and business volume.

I don’t think this hype is finished because still we see a few worthy projects are coming in the DeFi market but find out is very difficult because a lot of copy/paste project are developed to using legit project information. Mostly DeFi tokens are going downtrend but higher than initial token sell price.                   

Most of the fundraising trend for every new project that is in vogue won't last long. I have gone through several phases like ICO, IEO and now DeFi. All these processes at that time were very attractive to investor and many of them got big profit and not a few also lost because of wrong investing in projects.

DeFi, which was very popular with investor and bounty hunter some time ago, now we can see that this trend has entered a new phase where the price of product on the market has fallen by up to 90%. While there is potential to see price increases, the list of token in the table is depressing. 90% is not a good percentage to keep using the same coin or token. If DeFi end I think there will be another popularized way to raise fund and as usual thing will stay the same in the three ways mentioned above (ICO, IEO, DeFi).

It was already like a big soap bubble. The most amazing thing is that projects with a strong team almost did not give x when listed on the stock exchange. But in incomprehensible projects, where there is no team and everything else, the name of which is similar to food, they collected a large amount of money, and gave people earnings. Amazing.

I think DeFi got more attraction and attention  in this phase due to current market situation which you explained.
DeFi projects grabbed the opportunity to create hype due current scenario. Hope once it's over and only legit will rise, people will understand it correctly.

I am considering defi as the new ICO market where we will have the chance to invest in some of the best possible tokens but at the same time where will be some really horrendous tokens which we might end up buying because of the hype. I am not someone easily hyped or get too optimistic about a particular token but there are actually some really good tokens in market and I am positive but not hyped about them just yet. The defi hype might be over and that is a good sign because now as the hype settles down we will see some real good tokens and creative ideas com out which are not made just to juice out money from investors by selling the hype.

People are so pessimistic suddenly that while defi was being considered the future suddenly people are calling the end of defi is arriving just because the market is a bit down and the tokens are not performing as expected.

Defi season not over, actually there are still defi projects doing wonderfully well and besides price instability is not new in crypto space, just a matter of time, dey bones shall rise again.

True, i just saw a friend of mine earnnlarge amount of profit after investing in defi project. The only thing that I think will be a problem is scammers already found out about this new defi trend and they are now planning to make thier own so they can grab some free money again after ICO and IEO hype. But to say it as ended well it's still too early to say that.

If we take a look at the graph, it shows a massive decreasing point on all of altcoins out there, however we cannot say DeFi hype is over. Maybe it's just a somewhat of slipping price but there's might be a comeback and take rising of several altcoins. Because some DeFi projects showing good performance continuously.So i think that it's not yet over.

defi hyip come about to over but not totally over yet cause still lots of defi project's tokensale are underway and they still are raising good amount.its prove that, still investors have attraction on new upcoming defi project.don't know why they invest their fund on defi project when they can see, what is currently happing with old defi project which are already exist on market.

I think that DeFi projects will still show themselves in the crypto market and will be further developed. The momentary fall of some projects is primarily due to the fact that scammers came to the DeFi market, who initially offered very good conditions for investment, which attracted many people who were later deceived.

true. Defi season is not over yet, they keep appearing time by time. in the end, they become scam projects and dump their price in the market. i believe investors will lost their trust in Defi projects in no time. you're right that the price instability is not new in crypto space, but if the price is drop than 60%, i think it's hard to get your profit back or even your ROI from your invesment.

For many DeFi projects season is over. But i think that really good project can survive. DeFI industry is very young and have big potential. I think Maker and Uniswap is important for whole crypto market.
Also Ethereum bullish cycle isn't over and it can help DeFi surviving from frustration.

good summary results, the new Defi project makes it easy for us to get profit and easy to lose capital,
playing in crypto space makes me even stronger, because high volatility trains patience and thoroughness,
the terrible thing in my opinion is the Hype of Sushi, a decrease of -90% makes DEfi a scary thing. yes This is Over mate, this over

the DeFi craze was always going to die down eventually and for good reason too. From what I have seen, in the cryptocurrency area the propensity is to money out from new advancements even before they are being grown appropriately.
DeFi is a good thought and can go contemplates whether actualized appropriately. Yet, as of now such a large number of players have endeavored to enter this area and to make snappy money. They neglect to comprehend that you have to have a working item first, before you can attempt to take advantage of it. Gone are the days when individuals would we ready to pay you millions, only for a good thought.

It was all a hype tho. Nothing special with DeFi. Its most likely the ICO having its new era. I also heard that YFI ceo was sued for scamming.

I don't hear such news rather than Defi is getting popular day by day. Still, there are some Defi projects are running successfully to get investors for global fundraising. The trend starts this year and it will continue as we are seeing the results. Dego is launched Dego-NFT and people are enjoying it. So trends will come or go but people will enjoy it by seeing successful projects with that hype. Defi will continue this year and hope it will continue next year too.

Since YFI dropped I think DeFi trend has dropped a little, but that doesn't make DeFi hype decrease because a lot of investors are investing in DeFI, especially those that are still based on Ethereum Network, but it's a little split because most of new DeFi isn't just using Ethereum Network.

maybe the first waves of defi just over, but i believe there will be another waves coming on defi my friend
just prepare yourself and pick the right defi project before the second waves coming

I think that over time, the groundless excitement will come to naught, and only those projects from this category that are structure-forming and solve some real fundamental market problems will remain afloat.
All the rest, and there will be at least 90 percent of them, will eventually be forgotten and will remain only in the memories of traders and investors.

more like it, most DeFi project hype are gone and many are them failed because of investor are scared of project dont have any informations who behind the project and pull the rug ended scam , they are many project that using DeFi and Yield Farming concept turn into scam project, that why they are almost dead.

But you know ICO hype was big special even defi no good through. If you invest in a defi project at this time, you will lose money. but if you are able to catch the right project, it will be a huge profit. Also I want to say defi will not be fixed for very long as the number of scam projects is increasing.

This is just a trend, just like the ICO trend some time ago, when viewed from the analysis, the Defi altcoin has decreased significantly,
it is based on the DEFI market cap, and it appears that top altcoins such as Chainlink, Comp and YFI have decreased a lot in Q4 ,
although it's not over yet, Defi still has a chance this year

The OP showed an interesting table where many projects received very large price drops. Perhaps this is a small rebound before a new growth, and perhaps the bubble is gradually beginning to deflate and bring losses to those who invested in it. Personally, I do not lose hope for the continued popularity of DEFI projects.

Yes, most of the DeFi projects are currently at big red but, I think the DeFi trend is still far from over. I am seeing so many DeFi projects coming out of the blue and raising a crazy amount of money which tells me DeFi still has a lot of juice left.

Well, the "De-Fi" hype is far from getting over. I think it'll take 1 or 2 years from now before that happens. The COVID-19 pandemic has largely contributed towards the rise of the "De-Fi" industry. During this hype phase, expect many wild and crazy things to happen. A lot of scam projects will appear out of nowhere hoping to attract greedy investors into them. Ultimately, these projects will fail paving the way for legitimate projects in the "De-Fi" space. Once people get know how "De-Fi" works and what it's all about, they'll be able to separate the good projects from the bad ones. "De-Fi" by itself is very promising, as it aims to bring traditional banking services to the unbanked people. Yield farming is a big hit as it provides higher interest rates than any ordinary bank in the mainstream world would offer. But as with anything, a high reward means a high risk for your investment.

Nonetheless, time will tell us what lies ahead with the future of the "De-Fi" industry in general. If it works as intended, it'll be able to survive for many generations. Otherwise, it'll turn into an idea that will fade into oblivion. Let's hope "De-Fi" doesn't take the same path as "The DAO" or "ICOs" which took them to their demise in the mainstream world. "De-Fi's" survival will depend on government regulations more than anything else. Just my thoughts ;D

Look at the decline in gas prices on the Ethereum network. In recent months, gas prices have dropped significantly. This may indicate a decrease in trading volumes on the Ethereum network. And this can only happen due to a decrease in interest in DEFI projects.

After checking the downfall of defi tokens, hyip should be finished yet.but some people still except a lot from defi and they consistently investing on new defi tokens.they makes this defi hyip alive and scammer take the chane of this advantage.consistently launching fake defi and take fund from investors.that's why we can still see a lots of defi tokens get successful for temporary and then start downfall as same as above chart, given by op

Indeed, investors (specially newbies) are still investing in defi projects.
They are not done on this defi hype and I think it will only end if there's something new on crypto that makes people switch to another trend.

Though there are defi projects that is good as an investment, like the past ICO and IEO, scammers are also doing their best to scam the investors by creating a scam projects on defi hype.

it looks illogical. DeFi may have set an interesting trend. Whether it's over or not, I'm sure it will not affect the decrease in ethereum transaction fees. ethereum has improved their network and it is natural that the movement of transactions is normal and not too pile up which can make transaction fees increase.

logically I think it is, but it is a little different in operation. hyip involves high risk and promises big gains. defi do not promise a gain. defi makes profit with the logic of interest.

A thing which is recommendable to be done because we have seen the hype is already gradually diminishing which will surely make those other defi coins which are made just for go along with the
trend will surely die.

For people who had invested then its much wise to do so if they would pull out their funds while its still early or the price haven't touched up the ground yet or else they will surely regret it
if the price had plummet down.

Hype is common thing and just like what happened back when we are still in ICO where hype is too high and most projects are pumping up but afterwards
where hype is over then everything turns to red.

I think if we invest in crypto, don't follow the crypto trend. This method is very dangerous. We recommend that we take a definite step by investing in coins that have the guarantee to grow even if slowly.

It's something bad happened to DeFi tokens. They ended in a very short time. Many investors have complained about DeFi. This removes the user's trust in DeFi tokens, and has a negative effect on Ethereum smart contracts as the largest token producer today.

Before the DEFI boom, I saw how the project DEFI on TRON performed. Investment game uses TRON to invest in TRON DAPP-based packages, after a while they will receive a return. The former had a good return, the latter lost money because their deposit was stopped.
Obviously, it's a PONZI game. The problem with DEFI projects is that the nature of the project does not care about reality in the crypto space and does not create real value.
Farming restriction token projects are overvalued when new projects are launched for high profits. When too many tokens are mined, their value will automatically decrease due to pressure to sell for profit. People will sell to take profits and participate in projects for better profits. Like the previous game on TRON, the first-come get a good return, the latecomer is at high risk.

These tokens try to come to the market and pump to maintain their existence but cannot last very long negative effects are caused later and are lost due to lack of very good knowledge about the market and deposit being closed. Therefore it is better to invest in currency without relying on tokens not too many negative effects on them later do not pump in a short time slowly rise up in harmony with reality defi tokens are going down a lot in the market.

I don't think that the hype of DeFi projects are over but instead they are looking and creating a more innovative way of getting the interest of the people most importantly the investors. I think there will be another hype that will happen to DeFi project before the end of this year.

I think that there is gonna be the second wave, but the charts won't be so crazy anymore. The hype is coming to an end and defi tokens will act as well as all other tokens on the market.

There is coming a new wave of hype that is no less exciting than DeFi. There will be many people who are looking at cryptocurrency as a place to get money quickly. Then the hype left, and the party was over. These are waves that are always there and continue to exist in this ecosystem.

I don't think it's ridiculous as long as we see the opportunity there.
Binance provides us with an example

For the DeFi project, I think you have to be careful because this is a relatively new project, but it doesn't hurt to try it by participating in the sale, maybe with very little capital, if you're afraid then you don't need to do it because so far cryptocurrency is indeed it will be like that if you are lucky you can get a lot of profit, but if you get a scam you will lose.

That's right, I see a lot of Defi coins dropping up to 50% when they were first released on Exchange, so that it makes investors who buy during Pre-Sale lose a lot of their assets. I also invested in the DeFi project and it was a huge loss too. So I think Defi HYIP is over.

Nevertheless, DeFi will survive. The influx of new users who came to the crypto world thanks to DeFi will affect the development of other projects. This is at least indicated by the growth of the main sandbox of DeFi projects, Ethereum.

The "De-Fi" hype will continue for quite some time until something new takes the crypto world by storm. Just as the ICO hype ended some time ago, the same will happen with "De-Fi". Only time will tell us which technologies and ideas will stay, and which will fall apart. If "De-Fi" delivers as promised without disruptions, it'll be able to last a lifetime. Personally, I'm not worried about "De-Fi" interest rates declining as long as the protocol works as intended. This is the normal behavior of "De-Fi" since it's backed by algorithms and crypto assets in the Blockchain space. The more borrowers there are, the higher the interest rates will be. But if most people are lending their tokens for profit, then interest rates will decline. What matters is not how much profit you'll make in the long run, but rather how useful "De-Fi" platforms are for decentralized banking. So far, major "De-Fi" platforms have done a great job in bringing "Banking to the Unbanked" with any disruptions whatsoever. We're going to have to wait for a couple of years to see if the industry matures in the mainstream world.

All in all, it seems to me that "De-Fi" is here to stay. While it has a higher risk than traditional banking, the fact that you can obtain loans or even lend your tokens for profit without middleman it's truly revolutionary. In a crypto-only economy, "De-Fi" may be all the unbanked people need to manage their finances without ever needing a bank. At least, that's the vision of "De-Fi". But knowing that banks are too big to fail and have long dominated the mainstream economy, it's nearly impossible to live only with crypto using "De-Fi" platforms. No matter how attractive "De-Fi" may seem to be, it'll only serve as an alternative to traditional banks than a replacement. Just my thoughts ;D

I remember when Defi in hype situation, the Ethereum gas fee increase so high and I think the highest fee I meet is about 500-600gwei because a lot of people joining and make transactions in ETH blockchain, But now ethereum fee only 20gwei, so YES Defi hype is over we come back to normal ethereum fee and I'm so happy to see this

Unfortunately, now DeFi is not suitable for ordinary users and scenarios for the type of loan to expand a business, buy a car or something like that. Loans in DeFi do not go beyond the world of cryptocurrencies, and are mostly made with the speculative goal of "making money quickly". And the cryptocurrencies themselves have not really received any official status yet. Laws are just being written for them. Therefore, it is still very, very, very early to talk about an alternative to banks.

In my humble opinion, the hype in 2020 under the brand "DeFi" is not over yet. To date, the ideas of decentralized Finance continue to excite fragile minds, setting new growth records and inflating the bubble. But if you look at it, there is nothing fundamentally new in Defi, most of the projects under today's label "DeFi" have existed since 2017-2018. But for some reason, in only 2020, they raised such a fuss that this is such a necessary, necessary thing today, and that tomorrow, well, the day after tomorrow, they will change the world, of course for the better.

Something built with hype won't last long, and investors should already know about this,
hype is just a momentary trend, when the trend weakens, the price will fall sooner or later,
maybe some people will be disappointed with the DeFi project, but some others will use this to buy DeFi coins that have good potential in the future,
because there were several prices falling, not because the project died, but sometimes because many holders were impatient and sold their assets at low prices.

I believe that everything will not stay forever. Defi projects are still getting successful and the recent one is DEGO Finance. They got a huge response from the market. So it is difficult to say the Defi hype is over rather than we can say the success rate is getting down as it will also be dropped accordingly.

There value will surely dropped based on the numbers of these so-called DEFI projects are being pumped into cryptos market, taking a cursory look at the bounty section of the forum, there are many of them popping out daily, however some of the projects might survive based the bullish outlook of the market presently,  meanwhile some investors are always selective in DeFi projects.

Obviously, they made a benefit and they escaped them to proceed onward to other DEFI ventures. I find that CEFI on CEX is more gainful and is destined to be steady.

Somewhat because of bitcoin's bullish pattern halting in some news, individuals are placing their cash for possible later use.

We ought not simply to take a gander at the ATH and current costs, yet rather see them every now and then. Actually, DEFI is as yet causing a decent benefit in the course of recent days so far.

I agree that the future of the projects depends too much from the future of the cryptocurrency market. If cryptocurrency market will raise it will be much more simple to survive to many projects. People will continue to buy tokens hoping that their price will raise in future. Now many Defi projects use staking system to encourage people to hold tokens. Here is an article about staking https://medium.com/bonfiorg/introducing-bonfi-web-staking-7368467d18cc

Now it seems that the hype is really over. The majority of projects are in a strong minus relative to the ATH, and very few have preserved at least some good price, many projects have dumped to zero/closed/scammed. Seems like the next trend is NFT tokens?

Maybe we can say the hype and the FOMO is gone by the success and potential remains as there are some excellent projects in the Defi market which even I am keep an eye on but then there are scams and fake projects too so you just have to make sure that you pick the right one if you are an investor and the DeFi hype is over but there are still some potentially amazing projects coming up and in the making.

It is more like a traditional graph where we can see a huge growth initially but as the market gets matures the graph becomes stable and the success and investment rate is decreased too. One can compare with the iPhones when they come to market they are costly but with time the price drops almost every time for the same mobile, because there is a hype and once it's over the market gets more timid.

defi hype exhausted with dozens clone each day came up with similiar things

even old project become defi-featured to attract new comers

crv is the worst dump, cause 2M coin inflation per day, like uniswap coin they doing same inflation model to high,

at this point defi farming begin to die slowly, btc bull run make even worst for defi to got support buyer, only left dumpers

DeFi hype is still ongoing and that is why so many cryptocurrencies are now being created in defi sphere, but do not forget that most defi tokens are rapidly falling in price and therefore you must have time to sell your defi tokens or they may even depreciate, so be always on the alert.

It seems true that the hype has begun to decline, seen from the low GAS price recently, unlike when Uniswap gave free tokens.

I think that three years after the 2017 hype, a very large number of investors have become much more cautious. And in general - a huge number of sane people understands perfectly well that this whole epic with defi projects is, by and large, another hype, and most of them will turn out to be a scam.

I think the DeFi hype is not yet over because the only reason why every DeFi has decreased all of its value due to bitcoin's sudden pump that it maintains or stay to it's $13,000+ price. So it only means that many people convert all of their coins into bitcoins because they may assume that bitcoin will reach its ATH again.

I never understood the reason why investors in cryptocurrency sector pump tens of millions of USD in projects where not even the initial phase of development is complete. Some of these projects do have good ideas. But before pouring in so much money, shouldn't they check whether the development team is capable of completing the project on time? This was the reason why the IEO/ICO sector went down. Now the same is repeating with DeFi.

I honestly got too much hyped for the tokens like UNIswap and a few others but the way they have performed has concerned me and feels like the hype is really over and all the talk around the DEFI was nothing but a bubble that has been burst pretty hard.

The UNI token was doing so good initially and instead of selling my free coins which I got from them as a trader on their exchange in past, I instead bought a bunch of more tokens in hope that the token must do well because it had such a transparent distribution and there is no way the token must go down. But now I feel like it is never going to come up again to same price even where it started initially.

And I think that under any market conditions, a project should be developed if it is really worthwhile.

I'm not sure it's over, there are some projects that are making waves still. And some that their farming are yeilding something potential. I know of that I have been making profits through their staking. YNTI , CURVE and some others are unique projects. Always search and read to know how unique they are. It's not just ordinary Defi

As the old Defis die, the new Defies born, some new Defi like Easyfi has been 10X by now, depends on which exchange adds them and how new they are , money likes to go to new coins which are in big exchanges like Binance!

I dont want to loss interest in Defi because have not had my share of the money in it but I also expect some changes with the security. The trend of hack and loss of money is high which could reduce the interest in investment but If changes could be made to secure fund and perhaps engage CEX instead of DEX they could improve interest again. I dont believe teams are innocent of those hacks and that could also require a step of confidence from teams.

Defi is currently still running, in fact more and more defi projects have sprung up on the exchange. Maybe this is their way of making profits easily, but this is also very risky for beginners.

that's the problem lies, a hype which creates a big pump in a short time but then plummeted. Imagine how much money lose for people who have invested in YFI when it reached the peak over $44K and now at $14K? more than 68% loss in 2 months. High volatility creates a higher chance for investors to gain big profits or lose their capital.
There should be a standard for everyone to judge whether a coin worth investing or just a pump and dump scam (https://news.bitcoin.com/defi-token-exposed-as-pump-and-dump-scam-in-leaked-telegram-chat/).

OF course it is still running but it is getting just more and more risky and scammy,,, just like ICOs. I think this is it, the wave is over. It will not die but many people already got burned and they are all now spreading the fear and news. I like this though because we all need Defi to die.

From the beginning of the new DeFi trend, i have been warning to all investors to be aware before fall in trap. Now maximum investors are in trap of DeFi and faced huge losses. You showed a good evidence and i am agree with you about it that DeFi hype is now about to end. DeFi investors should be more aware otherwise they may regret soon.

Looking at the information you provided i was a bit excited, to be honest, i was also surprised by the drop. The current defi hype is making it self a challenge for many projects and most of the time i don't see them yet. New projects are emerging more and more in terms of defi, but they are projects that will not bring in much value but can take much of our money away. But I see the market is doing very well with continuous good news. My hope for 2021, when cryptocurrencies are widely adopted and accepted, we can expect a real value of defi.

Dropping their market capitalization from Billions and now drop to millions?i'm sure this is enough proof that DEFI is now falling and the outcome will be reveal for whom is the legit and which is the BS.
cant wait to finally see our expectation about the Hype that these Defi projects and coins real value in crypto market.
and the comparison regarding Altcoin season of 2018 is just the same.

Defi is the new ICO craze like what happened in 2017. It has new face but same situation, that is to siphon more money from new, and vulnerable investors and trader. Though the concept is good but, is prone to abuse and exploitation. To new investors and alike, just observe first and scrutinize any project you are about to invest. At the end of the day, it is you who will lose your hard earned money, always be careful and vigilant.

true, always be careful in choosing defi projects, nowadays a lot of defi projects have sprung up and some even provide very large profits, I have encountered defi projects several times and they give farm results and stakes too high, but they run away, just survive a few months, even their website can no longer be accessed and many people get losses because they are trapped by the defi project

It's not over yet, not until another bear market take over like that of March 2018, presently bitcoin is very very bullish and this can once again hell junk DeFi tokens to surge once more before the almighty crumble that will happen soon, though it's better to invest on top DeFi projects for better result

DeFi hype is over and those who are screaming now are the greedy people who refuse to take profit, we've been told that crypto space is full of opportunities but timing is a very vital thing in crypto space, no opportunity stays too long, take your profit when they are still available

It's true that Bitcoin Bullrun can have good impact on DeFi projects but I personally believe it won't be on all DeFi projects, many DeFi projects won't go back to their ATH again because DeFi projects are bubble and it's already busted, only very useful DeFi projects will enjoy the bull ride.

not just Chainlink, it looks like AAVE is still survived out...
It seems that when the Bitcoin price was bullish, the DeFi project began to be forgotten, but not all DeFi projects experienced drastic price drops. HYPE DeFi is over and is highly recommended for those who have their tokens to switch to Bitcoin or other Altcoins.

Personally, I even believe more in Altcoins, which are always in the top 10 in the ranking when bitcoin is bullish, even though the effect of the current increase in Altcoin prices is not that far from the previous price, but it is still good to find daily profit through trading in several markets.

I have also noticed it. When BTC is pumping and other alts too DeFi market is not moving significantly. I do not know what will be the reason. People's moving their funds from the DeFi project or there are other reasons? But I am sure this will kick out many garbage projects from the current DeFi world and an only strong one will survive.

Names of some coins sounds funny i don't know how people understand to invest on those?
But of course surely there is a Big capitalist behind each Pumps and not just pure investors.

But that is what we called Altcoin season in which happens in 2018,because they don't grew like what bitcoin does in 2017 so after correction they blew up and reached their ATH.

---

But you are perfectly correct about the title mate,looks like Defi season is over and only those few legit are remaining in top tanks position.

I've been getting warnings from some people and crypto experts to stay away from all farming projects, I'm glad not to be part of those projects on this list, I'm just holding onto a few new altcoins that have good potential in the future, hope they end soon that's true completely confounding the high transaction fees also on ETH since they were around

Yes, i also don't really like DeFi tbh, but also not oppose it, if i get opportunity to get huge profit why not. Some defi really have crazy profit, so that's very potential, people who don't miss DeFi in July or August maybe already have very decent profit right now

We can assume that the said trend and many would say hype is now gone since many became disinterested with the hype because of the many scams and fake projects that happened. So you have to be very sure you know how to do good research so you can only pick only the good projects and even if the said hype is over, as long as you know what to invest and where to invest then you need to worry about your investments being scammed by scrupulous people.

DeFi brings good profit for investors weeks ago and right now the price are down massively, I don't think these projects can recover unless altcoin season takes over In coming weeks, to say the truth DeFi did pay off, only greedy investors will hesitate to take profit

In fact, it is very difficult for any new investor.A close friend of mine made me aware of the matter.Even then I got caught so it really is a lot more difficult for me.But it's a mystery I couldn't unravel.

You all sound as though DEFI bubble has burst, whereas DEFI in the real sense is a long term trend making waves already in crypto space. It's only normal for coin prices to crash, but if the project continues with development, definitely the price will pick up. AAVE (formerly LEND) is a very good example. I'm still staking and farming a few DEFI tokens, making reasonable profit from it. The main issue is that there are many new scam DEFI projects which fold up especially when the team sells off massively on uniswap, balancer or related exchange , making liquidity very low and creating FUD. DEFI hype has not actually declined as purported.

DEFI hype isn't over, whenever there exists a new platform the previous thing gets over. In the past ICO market was much hyped, and this didn't lasted for longer time period. When IEO reached the market automatically the ICO hype got over. Now people are much into the DEFI projects. Now it is in the very beginning of hype, so it takes a little time for the DEFI hype to get over.

I think you're right Mate, Defi hype was slowly faded away because most of the Defi token price is decreasing on day to day basis, and even the Yearn Finance token (YFI) price is also decreasing from its $43K all-time high during September 2020 now it was down to $10K per YFI token, but again it was still expensive it's better to wait in the following days and let us see what will happen to the proud Defi.

Many experts think DeFi development is a temporary sensation and won't last more than a year.
But not all DeFi will die, some will last longer.
So we must be careful before investing. Because at present not profitable.

I think the DeFi hype was over and started switching to NFT. IMO

Contrary to your post, I do not agree that Defi hype is over because as at the time you made this post, the market was down generally, it is not just about Defi alone. As far as I am concern, some Defi projects will definitely strive strong as we approach the bull run.

now Defi is increasingly giving many victims, many people buy Defi coins at high prices,
for new projects I do not recommend that you follow and buy them, many cases have occurred,
you can see the chart from YFI, just like the bitcoin bubble in 2017-2018.

No, i don't think that's true. Take a closer look, between the ICO trend and the IEO trend. The ICO trend officially ended in early 2018 and since then the market has fallen back into a puddle of blood. It was not until mid-June 2019 that the IEO trend appeared. History has shown that the trend does not follow the trend, so trends can be extinguished at any time.
As for the Defi trend, it is not over yet but at the same time it has lost the Hype. Maybe the reason is that Bitcoin is the main focus so the Defi projects are being slowed from the beginning.

Many DeFi projects have already launched on the market and are now going too deep. in detail many tokens were unable to raise the price to the last high. We'll see what happens to the DeFi project later, and if DeFi still has the power to improve, it will bounce back. And I think investors will also take part in the Defi project back which they think is profitable for investment. but for me Defi is better for short-term investments, sell immediately when I see an opportunity and go with other coins that are more viable. The hype or FOMO is still in effect, I am worried for new investors who may have incurred huge losses after being caught up in the DEFI hype. let's say like a YFI coin, from $ 40k to $ 18k  ::)

The total value of assets locked in YFI is currently US$334 million, down from the August all-time high of nearly US$1 billion. It is still a very popular platform and I believe in a bright future for the YFI token))) 8)

I think the DeFi hype is still big because almost every day there are new projects, it's just that now the hype of every new project is short and there is a pump&dump at the initial price when release on uniswap. Maybe this hype will stop sometime because I see this like ICO hype in 2017.

The hype is not yet over because a lot of scammers are still creating their copy cats projects. So it means, they are still getting some audience in the DeFi market. They will slow down once there are no more naive investors buying their crap tokens in uniswap particularly. I can bet, in the coming months, there will be so many worthless defi tokens in uniswap once this hype period is over.

Defi hype is gone for good as there were just too many scammers taking advantage of this trend.
I always thought that DeFi is a highly vomplex or complicated subject that needs bigger ecosystem, volume and userbase to make it a success, based on this analysis i expect that there would be only a handful of successful defi projects in a couple of years but they will have extended ecosystem and really huge userbase.

Changes are inevitable. Many hypes was came in market. Most of them faded by the end of the year. Dife, ICO and IEO all of them made profits but ended very fast. People are slowly adapting the changes happening in the market. If you want to be successful in trading, just do what markets want to do. In short, we have to go to the trend.

It's too early to say that DeFi projects are over, because the decline in the price of DeFi projects is only because of the sudden
increase in Bitcoin. I am sure if you see some popular DeFi projects that are still high in volume, this indicates that DeFi projects
still have high demand. We just need to be patient waiting for the Bitcoin price to stabilize, after that we can see DeFi projects
will recover.

The ETH 2.0 will be rolling out soon and it will have a positive impact on the DeFi market as well, even when Vitalik Buterin tweeted about the upgrade the price started to move and the DeFi market was also having an impact with the price moving higher in all the DeFi tokens which means that once the upgrade is finalized we might see a huge rally.

I don't believe that the end of DeFi has come yet. In fact, DeFi WI play a prominent role in bringing blockchain to mainstream adoption and we will witness a new phase of innovations to accomplish that. The reason why the prices of many projects tanked is due to the mentality of many investors which is to make some quick bucks. Ultimately, investors move funds around, pump it into a new DeFi project, pull out when the price is up, take profit and repeat the process with another DeFi project.

This approach is not sustainable as blockchain is yet to reach maturity.

Will the prices of Defi tokens growing once Bitcoin is stable?
I don't think any guarantee of this. Just look at the prices of Defi tokens, they have declined too much. Even if there is an increase once the bitcoin to be stable, I don't think it will return to the best performance. We cannot deny that the Defi project hype is over already. Also, I doubt if Bitcoin will be stable, it always moves up or down every time.  

It is likely contradictory to your beginning sentence. But well, as a Defi token holder, you mustn't be happy if Defi is over.
Let's see what will happen after yesterday's Bitcoin increased quite high. Will Bitcoin be a sideway, declines, or continues the bullish trend?

Yes, as in any new business architecture, it has its flaws!

The DeFi also have risks, especially if they do not have a good work team.

In my opinion the DeFi are already dead ...

That's certainly true, mate. The "De-Fi" hype is still not over yet. As long as the pandemic continues to struggle the mainstream economy, the hype over crypto and the "De-Fi" industry in general will persist. Despite "De-Fi's" many attractive features, it's still incomparable to traditional banks. What kills "De-Fi" are high fees and terrible performance (unlike its centralized counterparts). No one will use "De-Fi" seriously unless these issues are solved. The fact that most dApps rely on centralized stablecoins such as Tether and USD Coin, greatly defeats crypto/Blockchain tech's purpose in the mainstream world. Better adoption of decentralized stablecoins (like DAI) is needed in order to "exploit" "De-Fi's" true potential. Otherwise, "De-Fi" will become another banking system (Banking 2.0) as the rich reap all of the benefits.

Nonetheless, it's expected that the "De-Fi" will become saturated due to the extreme hype surrounding it. This means that stablecoin interest rates will decline as most people will be lending instead of borrowing crypto assets from "De-Fi" platforms. Some time ago, the Compound Protocol reduced its 8% APR to 0.48% APR for DAI. Stablecoin returns will not be greater than a bank savings account if APR remains extremely low. While now rates are around 2% annually for DAI, there are other "De-Fi" platforms offering higher rates to other stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. At least, "De-Fi" works as intended. Whenever it'll be here to stay or not, it's yet to be seen. Just my opinion :)

Yes, you are right. It once traded over $40,000. But currently trading between $12000 and $14000, at that time the price of Bitcoin is being traded at $15000 thousand. From this it is understood. defi hyip is over.

As long as UNISWAP has its simple rules for anyone to add some tokens on it, I don't think it's over yet, DEXes are growing every day with new features and they adopt so fast with new hype and then provide a good space for everyone to do whatever he wants, Bonce finance has introduced new pools , called auction pools and people can provide auction on it , and 1inch exchange just announced 5B$ volume today thanks to defi , https://twitter.com/1inchExchange/status/1325413152222289920?s=20 
As long as we see Big volumes like this in DEXes it means DEFI is still alive, DEX and DEFI helped each other and now going forward.

No need to wait a few more months, now there are many defi tokens that are no longer worthless. I saw almost dozens of tokens released in a day on uniswap, btw I joined the uniswap list channel so I know there are lots of tokens released.

In my opinion, too little time has passed to talk about death Defi. This was only the first wave of hype. In 2021, the second wave will begin - much larger than the first. I am sure about that) 8)

Well, yeah big percentage of DEFI projects now entering the market are scam. So, this is the indicator that hyip is over and that scam has now entered in the form of DEFI projects fake crowdfunding activities. However, DEFI projects is also good and we can't deny that there are few projects of DEFI that is now operational and working just fine.

No not yet, there are still exisiting DEFI projects that are still good and working fine as well. For me, there are DEFI projects that could help the growth of cryptocurrency like the UNIswap which impact the market of cryptocurrency. We will just wait and see what next project will become like uniswap that will be able to follow and get a good market like other DEFI Projects.

Defi Hyip is not for long term investment, you will just the ride the hype and exit quickly. It is all about timing for me, when the Defi got listed in an exchange; you can see crazy volatility and you can participate in that volatility but make sure to quickly exit. Look at the defi that been listed in many exchanges in these past weeks, all of them are keep dumping because people are just joining and participating in hype so for me defi hyip is not for long term and for sure that trend will be finish and it will replace another type of investment. Right now it is the free money in the internet where you can get huge gains in just minutes or hours but there is also a risks where you can lose a lot especially if your timing is bad where you bought at peak of the price.

Links do have the best performance in their category, Link prices are of course helped by Hype Defi,
but it looks like the Hype is going to end, if you look at altcoin prices in the Defi category,
you can make conclusions, and Uniswap is now also having reduced volume.

Defi's hype is almost over, for now, it is possible that the Defi project will have new ideas that are more profitable for investors because for now the Defi product is almost the same for their purpose and things like this have been read by investors, they now tend to be more interested in old altcoins which is more valuable than the Defi project, which has gone down, almost on average, the Defi project has decreased at this time and that has actually happened in all current Defi projects.

I don't think that DeFi hype is over. just look at the CMC and you can see the growth of projects like Chainlink, Aave, yearn.finance and others. Aave grew almost 80% during 7 days and this is a great result.

it is not really for long term and usually those people who are buying defi are the traders or investors who want quick profit. Imagine that defi can increase more than 500% in just hours so it is really crazy to see that and for me it is the reason why a lot of investors like me are keep patronizing it. It is not yet dead and a lot of companies are still creating Defi HYIP and a lot of people are still patronizing it.

Defi has not yet ended, in fact every day the Defi project always appears in this forum. but you need to know that Hype is a common thing and as it happened when we were still in ICO where the hype was too high and most of the projects were pumping but after the hype ended everything turned red.

yes in my portfolio that I created isn blockfolio, this week all my target defi project price increased, and by the way I am also holding 1 token now, but unfortunately it dump, waiting for some hype. Making the value stable is really hard for a project, it is always needs some influencers that will help them to shill and make the price go up. Defi projects can easily go pump, and it also can easily to go down, it all depends on their marketing capability.

It seems to me that the hype around DeFi is not over yet.

Compound, Kyber, Chainlink, Maker, Aave, Gnosis are very innovative and promising projects.

The Ethereum ecosystem has united the best developers around itself.  These people will not leave for other projects.

Finance is something that interests all people on our planet.  Decentralized finance is a new concept.  This concept is just evolving.  I call this step "hypothesis testing".  

However, the money in the DeFi system is real investor money.  Some investors will profit from this hype.  The rest will suffer losses ...

Usually investors are more willing to risk their money in the spring.

In the spring of 2021, I expect a new hype related to DeFi.

Let's hope that the hype is really over and now DeFi will finally become the tool that they were originally supposed to be. Now we can start looking at interesting projects for the future)

when hypes were over people can now go back on the old timer coins but there will be less people that are left and they are those that are geniuinely interested on the utility of the coin  .  the rest of them would be on thier hunt again for the new created projects . having an interest on new projects are  fine but i think we should better be foccus on the projects that are already been here before . they are so many of them already , are we still not contented ? im afraid that the cycle will just repeat if we keep on praising new released projects , there will be another hype again after defi

maybe it's still not completely over because I see there are still many scam projects that are late and still trying to fool everyone, but for sure the defi hype has died down, not crazy like last month

I am really happy about the fact that the pseudo hype is over and as it settles compeltely we will see all projects that surfaced to cash in on the hype will disappear so only genuine projects with passionate developers will flourish and that is what we need to see this market improving and moving forward. We need quality than quantity and healthy competition among top projects.

true, I also still see some defi coins that are listed on uniswap only, and their prices are very crazy, hopefully no investors will buy coins like that, because the price is high, does not last long, only a few weeks usually has experienced a sharp decline

You are right, the Defi trend has decreased quite drastically if I pay attention to the table that you share.  Especially Coin CRV, which fell quite drastically, reaching 92%, would certainly be a disaster for investors or holders who hold CRV.  from the case above, it can be a lesson for all people not to be swallowed up by the hype for a moment because it will give our finances a big risk if we sell late.  Damn I also had a big loss from the Defi trend .

Defi is here to stay, in my humble opinion.

What keeps us from really realizing this is the recent influx of unaudited 'projects' featuring completely crazy APIs as well as a bunch of scams.

When the dust settles there will remain a major advance in the field of finance, opening up possibilities to those who were sometimes deprived of it, eliminating unnecessary third parties. And so many other things!

I'm really thinking so because many users are not moved by it anymore and alit are scared of investing because of the rig out there. Scammers have invaded and those that listed in big exchanges dumped massively so I do not think it's being appreciated like before and NFT will likely take the lead soon.

Maybe because most of the defi project now are turning into scam, they will run after days of presale or once they raise some money from presale. one of these is clown finance. I observe that project for a week, it is also been advertized by one influencer then suddenly it disappear, the telegram is no longer exist and even their Twitter account. That influencer immediately made an announcement but I think it actually hurts his reputation, being associated with scam is not good. Defi is still kicking but decreasing its popularity.

So binance and bittrex should be good since neither has made an announcement to the contrary and neither has stopped trading some defis.

Haha is it over. DeFi envelopes the entirety of cryptocurrency. The HYPE is never over. Possible the plethora of tokens touting DeFi may be done with. But did they ever get anywhere?  ;D

It's basically the same cycle as ICO and IEO but atleast we got uniswap now a quite convenient dex to use. But honestly Defi project if not devoured by these sporadic scams should be quite revolutionary to solve problems by decentralizing it and now it's another story. I guess scam really does destroy many good things and unfortunately they are not going anywhere anytime soon because they are literally everywhere.

can't agree more. shouldn't force a project to become a defi otherwise will fail so hard.

I sense an alt season is coming, when ethereum pumps shortly after DeFi pumps. We know that the price is set by demand so i'm wondering is DeFi project is really over. More are on the way of launching, which uses the top protocols to get our amazing DeFi. This all things in intrigue people invest in DeFi.

A few days ago, YFI fell below $ 9000 when the Bitcoin price broke $ 15000 but now YFI is above $ 10000 again. The DeFI project did experience hype some time ago and I think the price decline could be due to the factor of investors taking advantage of the price increase.

Most DeFi coins are recovering since bitcoin still continues is bullishness thread, Chainlink have recovered with 27% since 7days ago now and it's trading at 13$ today, Aave have recovered with 118% since 7days now and it's trading at 61$ today, others like yearn finance, synthetix, UMA, COMP are in good shape today

If Bitcoin grows more higher majority of all popular DeFi projects will surge higher, it's only a matter of time and its better to hold your DeFi tokens if you've already invested in any one of the projects, don't listen to those saying it's over for DeFi hype

Not just DeFi but all altcoins will grow higher soon because Bitcoin is going to a new all time high this time around, you'd better hold your altcoins so you won't miss out on the upcoming new altcoin season, coinmarketcap is so greenish today, every God damn DeFi projects are surging already

Few weeks back DeFi projects are losing huge value and everyone thought it's finally over but Bitcoin became so bullish after PayPal announced it's involvement and interest in cryptocurrency and till date bitcoin is shooting for the starts so even DeFi projects that were down have start to recovers, jus go on coinmarketcap to see how the market looks so green.

It's not over for DeFi projects yet, thanks to DeFi hype some investors like myself are able to make huge ROI this year so far, now bitcoin is bringing back a new opportunity once again, it's movement now very comparable to that of 2017, soon altcoins will start surging too, hold your seat tight

I have to confess I thought it was really over for DeFi projects but now thy are showing positive sign, I believe that's possible because of bitcoin Bullrun, hopefully Bitcoin will reach new ATH and once dominance start decreasing altcoins will start benefiting from the dips.

DeFi projects still have a lot of recovery to do, presently the little recovery isn't good enough, look at yearn.finance that was over 30,000$ now at 11,000$, how is this a good recovery? Another one is COMP that was over 250$ and today it's 100$, this DeFi projects still have lots to catch up to before we start saying they are recovering

Defi is not over yet, now only Defi altcoins have experienced high increases,
in compared to altcoins such as Ltc, Xrp, eth, trx which have only increased by a few percent,
of course this is very sad for other altcoin holders, I myself also feel this impact.

Well,,, there will always be people like me who have never left the öld timer coins as you say, so those people's numbers never decrease, they only slowly increase as more and more people learn the lessons of hype cycles.

I never see this as a problem because the bigger this quiet base grows, the higher the bottom for crypto markets, as we can clearly see over 10 years past:)

I think the chances of J DEFI being a token pump are decreasing. Some DEFI tokens are going to be given a new look again, but here you see Jodi DEFI token Jemon YLand the price of a DEFI token pumped a lot in the beginning but now a lot has been dumped, so if you are lucky you can earn a lot from this DEFI But it's entirely at your own risk

I'm not quite familiar with the defi coins, and never try to trade them too ever since. So, it doesn't matter to me if Defi is over or not.
I am much preferred to trade cryptocurrency rather than Defi, But anyway, as long as somebody getting profit into Defi I respect their
decision.

bitcoin started to show very significant price movements, on the other hand some of the top altcoins also started to move significantly. bitcoin is very influential too on the rise in altcoin prices, especially top altcoins. and the hype for defi is not over yet, top Defi projects are starting to recover after the impact of the Bitcoin price itself.

Yes already end. People now tired of gambling their money into defi new projects with expectations their asset will generate 10x in a short time but the fact their money loss in these investments. People back to old and top altcoin, with providing safe investment and profits for sure

Yes but also only Defi experienced high decreases. Don't forget about that.

The hype I don't know, but Defi definitely isn't over. Just look how the charts are right now:
https://i.imgur.com/Ude8Veq.png

Keep in mind Defi is much more than priceless tokens that are created with sole speculative purposes.
There is a total concept behind Decentralized Finances which can be used by different sectors and internet niches with real usages and benefits to its users, not only financial speculative ones.

A few new defi projects are great but most of them are scams, this process has happened in the past and it just repeats itself(ICO), people with exact distinction will become successful investors. It isn't over, projects like ChainLink are rising again, I also thought LINK would leave the top 10 before but its position is strengthening.

The hype is over but the existing is still thriving. But there are also good DeFi project that is conducting their sale as of now but struggling because almost all the investors are going for the hype pf bitcoin. Maybe we will see less and less DeFi project as we are close in 2020. We can expect mew trend in 2021.

I must say that DeFi hype is playing lay-low know now as what i have observed and it still exists but not that much crazy unlike few months back wherein people hyping and flying all over the place wanted to ride the train. Few DeFi projects are still in the market still having a good development while focusing on long-term goal of their projects and looking for another opportunities of expanding the growth of DeFi ecosystem platform.

DeFi hype is over but it doesn't mean it's forever over, if altcoin season returns all DeFi projects will recovers once again, I believe that before the year runs out or starting from January 2021 altcoin season will start, I suggest you should hold your altcoins either DeFi or not.

Defi "hype" may be over, it might be actually a good thing for all the defi projects that the billions of dollars funding and liquidity and everything else that was so much hyped that it became a bit silly is now over or at least going down and becoming a bit more normal because during that hype period everything and everyone was just so hectic that tens of millions of dollars (maybe even hundreds) were all given to places that didn't deserve it just because it had defi in its name.

Whereas these days smaller and very bad or even scammy ones are not getting the attention they used to get, however the great ones and big ones are still getting tons of attention because they are the ones who are standing after all of this was set and done and hype went low.

I think it's not over yet and will start over again in a few moments because previously people were only FOMO and got a lot of profit and just waiting for the time to act again
this is just my opinion, not the result of many people's analysis

hype is not here at the moment, but money involved in DeFi is rising, and mostly rising due to BTC entering Ethereum network through different wrapped coins, since BTC owners want to take their piece of the DeFi cake

you can see on DeFipulse that number of BTC on DeFi projects rised from 50k in September to 175k now, which is a good rise compared to ETH and stablecoins quantity in DeFi, that could be a push for this BTC price as well

I beg to disagree, Defi project is not yet over but it's getting lie low a bit since lots of Defi scammed projects are coming in and run away after raising funds from the investors. So Legit Defi projects got affected by those Defi scammed projects. But Defi projects will still be there just like ICO, IEO, and others.

The hype for defi is still not over, you can also see in the picture that chainlink and the others are still performing pretty well. DeFi has indeed declined slightly due to several scam projects that have made the credibility of several other projects decrease, but now it seems that DeFi still has a fairly strong position in the market

DeFi hype is over but that's for the main time because some DeFi projects have very good use case, assuming altcoin season begins later this year or very early in 2021 DeFi projects won't be left behind, they will bring good ROI for those who still holds them

Wow great chart for references there
By comparing the price of current Defi, seems like most had recover to the -90% price LOL
previously most had drop more than that
YFI dropped to sub $10,000 and its now back to $20,000
A very solid one

It's sad that Akro just got flashed loan attack, else they might be able to recover
Aside from all these DeFi coin, Waves actually gonna take over somehow
Their stables (neutrino) is gaining tons of traction and they are implementing more Decentralize Finance stuff

Ethereum made a significant recover ;p

For now DeFi projects are really less popular than it was in the summer. But there are still few projects which continue devlopment and try to implement really DeFi instruments in out life. Problem of DeFi hyip was in scam projects, which were created only to earn money in dishonest way. Real DeFi project have been existing and will be existing always.

the defi hype is still running, even every day new defi projects appear in this forum, so this shows that the defi hype is not over yet. but I am sure the defi hype will not last long in the market, so if you have been taking part in any defi always pay attention to the project so as not to lose the opportunity to sell as soon as possible.

People should understand that defi is not for long term investment where if you will participate in it then you should quickly exit because defi are prone to dumps and the data in the OP proving that many people are dumping their tokens after it got listed. I actually wanted to try to participate in defi but I will make sure first that the money that I will invest is the money that I can afford to lose because I really understand on how risky investing in Defi. 

There are DeFi projects that are good for long term, you sound like all DeFi projects won't survive on the long run, is chainlink not a high quality crypto project and it's a DeFi project, there are many others like ChainLink, the issue here is investors want to make their gains from any available DeFi projects so they care less what the DeFi project is all about

In investing in the cryptoqurrency industry there is no guarantee that your money is safe, man. even though it's bitcoin or even other stable coins that we often believe that stable coins can maintain their value. the most important thing in investing is that you must be able to manage money properly, not put eggs in one place, always monitor the progress of your coins and many other things too.

In my opinion, Defi does not look like as before. All are changed according to recent defi markets statistics. All are falling down. But yes it's not the end. Maybe it will affect another some months to the investor. Also, we have to keep in mind that it is actually dependent on us/investor/promoter until we can not change our mind and also stop showing our foolishness, this will last long.

That's certainly true, mate. Despite the fact that scam projects are everywhere, there are still a few legitimate projects that aim to make the industry better. With due time, the "De-Fi" industry will become legitimized just like it happened with the ICO boom back in 2017. People will be able to differentiate between legitimate and scam projects easily due to heavy-handed regulations by mainstream governments.

As far as the hype goes, I think it'll last for quite some time. My guess is that it'll be all over once "De-Fi" platforms' interest rates decline. The demise of COVID-19 will also contribute towards reduced interest from "De-Fi" in the mainstream world. Once the hype is over, we can see real growth for the "De-Fi" industry. But developers and people in general need to cooperate with mainstream governments if they want "De-Fi" to stay. Otherwise, governments will be cracking down on "De-Fi" platforms just like they did with ICOs. Truly-decentralized "De-Fi" will still be relevant. But people will use them under the scope of mainstream governments. Time will tell us what lies ahead with the future of "De-Fi". Just my thoughts ;D

It was so clear that it would be over so quickly. DeFi was just a rebranding of blockchain ecosystem that has been around since 2013. If you will, ETH is the biggest DeFi project. A few people made a lot of money with it, but crypto didn't really get any further overall through DeFi.

Absolutely, this kind of project seems no chance to grow. Scam defi project gets a hundreds worth of eth are vanished and so helpless to victim.

I'm not saying all of defi project are suspicious or scam.

But why their are still defi project sprouted.

I always tell people that Defi tokens are not to be held for long. They are not long term investment. Many dumped and coming back is actually a big issue. Even from the graft you posted, some went dipper than that. I just hope people can actually gain back the lost funds. Defi is best for instant trading than long term.

Once you invest to certin projects you need to make sure that you are aware and you are willing to take the risk,
DeFi projects which don't have any real offer and just riding with the trends are soon to be completely dead.

Some may appear to work as there are still invesotrs who are trying to invest and right now most of those are really moving in their fiat value, you need to be more careful if you are still looking to thos kond of projects.

defi project is not over yet but the hype has started to wane and now we know which projects really survive and those that only pump because of the hype/fomo

Truly the hype around DEFI has diminished drastically, compared to when it just started. I remember already existing projects even in sport betting category switching to DEFI, because just the mention of the DEFI tag causes FOMO and price surge. However, this is not obtainable right now, we all are used to the word DEFI and it's no longer a big deal since many projects spring up in that category. This does not mean DEFI projects ain't striving anymore, Since there are some very good DEFI projects presently.

I wish I really did use this list to buy some coins They all moon now and are doing really great So I dont think Defi hype is over yet We really are just getting more stable if I may say obviously those crazy gain will have to dial down a bit but still crypto have a standard strong use case I doubt is going anywhere

DeFi and hype are actually two different things. The existence of hype always requires a container or host, we can take the example of the past hype, where in 2017 the ICO became the host for the hype that occurred, then it became dim. A few months later, the IEO became a source of hype, then slowly began to dim too. And now that DeFi's existence is being used as a host for the hype, then we will know what will happen after this, namely the hype will dim again and look for new hosts.

The existence of hype cannot be planned, it grows from trust which then goes viral and gets the attention of many people, so many are interested in trying to be part of the hype. Sparking an outburst from what was actually normal activity.

Indeed ended, better move on and forget the lossess. Lets wait for another hype in the cryptospace and always take responsibilities in your financial decisions to avoid big losses.

I have a different opinion here
I don't think they are for quick investment
DeFi are here to stay, especially when people couldn't trust the central investment firms that hold our custodian anymore

Look at YFI, despite how expensive they are, they are proven to be a working finance model that are in the decentralized manner
Of course not All Defi tokens could profit because most are scam/not genuine
But if you really look out for the potential one, they might be best gain you ever had

Some believe Defi hype is over although it seems to be true but not really. As we can see in the market that there are more projects created in relation to defi. And some wants to make it better to compete and succeed in a matter of time. Maybe the spirit of crypto enthusiastics are not the same on its first stage. However, there are more defi projects even these days.

For sure, interest in DeFi projects will gradually fade to zero. Many people were convinced by their own experience, having lost their money, that once again everything turned out to be a bluff and useless, in the main part, with rare exceptions.

zero? I am not sure that the interest in Defi will be zero, if you see the increase that occurs in Defi coins now like YFI,
you will not say that you are going to zero, Defi is still strong in terms of fundamentals, and demand is also increasing,
I feel that Hype Defi is still not over , especially now that altcoins will try to be bullish.

I am among those who believe the DeFi project is over, because now most of DeFi is down in price, because the Bitcoin price
movement is too aggressive. Even the dominance of Bitcoin is increasing, proving that many investors have left DeFi and switched
to reinvesting in Bitcoin. I suggest for those who still have DeFi coins to sell them immediately, before the price drops again.
Now it is better to prioritize investing in Bitcoin, which is indeed the price that continues to rise.

DeFi projects made some rich and wealthy while it made some poor and retched. The introduction of DeFi killed me and some of my friends. It is not really a good experience. Though some of the DeFi project are still waxing strong but they should count me out. It would ended well because the ideology was not bad but some criminal minded guys with the aided from some exchange wrecking us.

Very well said. You have correctly identified the trend in crypto currencies  of cashing out even before it is fully developed. The idea of yield farming and staking is also not working so well now. I have personnel experience of  investing in farming/staking on one of famous wallet which  ended up in losses. I had to pay more fee when i stake/unstack  than what I had earned from farming and staking.

Many are into DeFi for their yield farming profits, they don't care about the projects use case, and some DeFi projects have no other use cases than farming returns that looks alot like Ponzi scheme, a year later many DeFi projects will bring huge loss to investors who don't see them as opportunity but instead decide to hold the tokens

The defi hype is still much around, but the impact is not general. Some project have recovered from their dump while others are still struggling. That's how it will be, but a good project will recover no matter how long it takes.

I don’t think so Defi hyip is over yet. If you see the Defi coins, you all see almost every good Defi coins are in good position right now.
You can check top  Defi coins from here : https://coinmarketcap.com/defi/

Well, DeFi seems to be the most interesting token to trade as it reacts very quickly and strongly to market news. Currently, when BTC is strongly increasing, these tokens are also top gainers on coinmarketcap. So it can be said that the defi hype is not over yet.

Majority of these DeFi projects are already recovering sir, thanks to bitcoin Bullrun, DeFi projects can still be profitable if you choose the right DeFi with good use cases , it's not always about the DeFi farming, though that's the major use case of DeFi but the strongest projects have more than that.

Its just recovering from a sharp drop, in this list only ETH  is unaffected and has risen above the August peak. But it is the only case, I think just a year from now, very few of us will remember the names of most of the projects on this list.

Personally I do not believe the hype is over but rather it has settled in and the tougher projects are sailing through... The space is crazier now, the unpredictable coins are given the $$$$whiles the supposed core projects are minus our $$$.

DeFi Hypes is over, the only thing pumping this projects presently is Bitcoin effect, some DeFi projects even have nothing to offer than high investment returns, choose DeFi projects wisely because after the bullrun is gone many DeFi projects will die

i think so defi hype is not over in this year . because most of the defi project are making on ethereum platform and their hype in this year increase day by day. defi has a new trend in crypto market. most of the defi project gave us good profit. most of the airdrops are coming by making defi projects

Not Yet. If you look at the current conditions visual, Defi's hype has decreased somewhat. However, the intensity of Defi-based projects increases and always comes with a variety of advantages offered especially if the product offered has convenience, practically by itself, price increases are possible. I think this is one of the important points that a developer and an investor deem necessary.

Although now the defi hype has begun to decline due to many frauds and the Defi project which ended in a scam but at least this did not dampen investors' interest in investing in current defi projects, and we can see that bitcoin and eth still have the potential to experience price increases, and that is the impact of the hype defi that occurred some time ago.

I feel that defi will also end this year, because there are a lot of defi products that dump very badly, plus the active scammers who take advantage of defi moments with various sneaky intrigues, I have faith next year it could be the year of the NFT

I think we need a new game to hype it again, because Yeild farming seems like no longer attractive enough, and trading volume on many DEXs is decreasing after reach its ATH in August. Maybe a new kind of lending scheme, which will bring new inflow to this market.

I dont think DeFi  hype is ending，the recent pump in cryptos can be seen as a continuation of DeFi Hype，without this DeFi Hype，perhaps there would be  delay a long time in the recovery time of the cryptocurrency market.
All in all，the greatest credit of this up up up market is DeFi hype.

Well, if you mean projects like Yearn.finance then you are right, but most other DeFi projects pretty much lost value from their peaks. The hype is definitely over. If there would be an hype the prices of those projects would currently explode, but mostly established projects like Bitcoin, Ether and others are rising.

The defi hype is not over. Retail investors haven't even entered the market.  ;)

defi hype is still not over yet, look now they have recovered from the dump and those who have less good products are still struggling to recover and i think the defi hype will really end next year

It's definitely over because that new ideas consistently brought into the world new scammer that will exploit the hype to take cash, there is many project utilizing DeFi idea to receive and take investor cash, at that point investor getting frightened to invest in new project on the grounds that there are numerous scammers, be carefull for the individuals that are new to DeFi project, you may getting scammed  if you don't cautiously invest

Defi hype us really fading off now coupled with many list in the market. I think people are beginning to reason the scam out there and also with huge number of Defi being listed daily bases. Maybe any new concepts can help out but as it is, normal Defi hype is getting over.

Men, Defi wrecked havoc on holders. I gained a lot and loss much to Shushi, Yam and some Y series. My bosom friend of many years loss big to curve. At the end bitcoin remains king, I hope people didn't ignore bitcoin during the Defi boom!

DeFi mania will not end soon and more projects will still surface. Those dips are just price correction. BTC went very high in the year 2017 and we can see the huge correction before re-tracement.

There's certainly a lot of hype surrounding "De-Fi" these days. I don't think it's over, considering that the TVL (total value locked) on major "De-Fi" platforms continue on to be on the rise. The craze will last a little longer until the demise of COVID-19. Once the mainstream economy is restored to its former glory, "De-Fi" will experience decreased interest from people worldwide. By then, only the good projects will stand while the rest will go down the drain. Believe me, "De-Fi" is not only about lending/borrowing crypto assets on the blockchain. It's also about sending/receiving money around the world without middleman (hence the name "Decentralized Finance"). Unfortunately, people have a misconception when it comes to "De-Fi" as they believe it's a "get rich quick" scheme. As long as this sentiment continues, the "De-Fi" industry won't be taken seriously by institutional investors and traders alike.

Nonetheless, time will tell us if "De-Fi" will succeed or not. Everything will depend on developers, and the community as a whole in order to make "De-Fi" relevant in the crypto/Blockchain space. Otherwise, it'll fade into oblivion in a blink of an eye (like it happened with ICOs back in 2017). With government regulations in play, I wonder how will "De-Fi" stay afloat? Just my opinion :)

DeFi Hypes are still for real but it sure looks like it's no more simply because too many DeFi projects turned scam and most get hacked as well, investors are highly disappointed and don't want to have anything to do with new DeFi projects anymore, you can judge by the bad results from new DEFI crowdfunding this days, DeFi projects are useful but that's on very few well built DeFi projects

Defi hype is finished yet it doesn't mean it's eternity over, if altcoin season returns all DeFi projects will recuperates again, I accept that before the year runs out or beginning from January 2021 altcoin season will begin, I propose you should hold your altcoins either DeFi or not

Alts season is already in and Top 20 alts are showing good performance except XRP which is passing through most difficult time of its history because of SEC lawsuit. The Defis have not showing any significant improvement in their performance. The Scams in this industry is the real issue which is hampering growth.

DeFi projects are just getting started, I always thought the hype is over too and it thus look like it in past months before altcoin season begins but now every damn DeFi projects are surging except the crappy ones, Polkadot, Chainlink, DIA, Avalanche etc are all doing so well today, I believe DeFi projects have a good future

XRP is doing pretty well even with the lawsuit ongoing, I think the project and team will be pardon by biden in the end but look at the price, it's not really bad at all, if XRP isn't a strong project it would have dumped big already

Scammers are riding with DeFi popularities and with that lots of potential investors are moving away from this venue of investment, aside from that, the Alts rally is also moving positively.

Investors are now enjoying the results of those investment that they've taken, It's a matter of time now for those DeFi based project to pump up and bring the market's interest back. Once this kind of action take place we might see more people to come back and start showing interest again and bring decent money to this investment opportunities.

Those numbers in the chart are outdated.

Yes, there was a bubble but things have rebounded now and there are gains to be had.

You fail to mention that DeFi platforms produce yield. I have earned more FARM tokens for example than I have lost in FARM token price, so I am still net positive. Let me explain, I earned 10 FARM tokens and I the current FARM price is 10 usd less than what I bought it for. I'm still profitable because the FARM APY ranges between 200 and 600%. Now the issue is, can alts keep up with Ethereum now that it's mooning.

I think the best thing about the current situation is just to wait. DeFi is really promising and well worth it. Everything will depend on how many people decide to invest in Defi projects and it seems to me that people will see progress and will invest their funds. After that, the entire DeFi sphere will rise higher due to the influx of people.

Yes, I thought that the hype will be over by this time, and yet the defi hype is still here. I do think though that retail investors is the one that move defi to the place where it is right now. What we should wait is the institutional money, but I doubt that institutions are willing to take risk in this defi. Is they are going to do it, might tip the balance from bitcoin to defi, however, it might accelerate the death of defi, in my opinion.

its not done dude, although, I'm not a fan of defi except for ETH aside from this none.
And as far as I know, most of the Defi coins are only good from the start then in the long run
it became shit in the end. This was I had observed every time I checked them in the market
before.

Somehow agree, this DeFi hype is like ICO hype before. Its hype until some project scamming investor and its suddenly dissappear. I hope DeFi become one of finance solution not become another scammy investment. I see some DeFi have a good vision and maybe have a bright future.

DeFi is still early. We have now seen very early use cases like swap and next time, more features will be available. It will take some time for devs to build, get experience and move forward. Next time, we will see many applications of DeFi 2.0, like we have seen in Blockchain.

DeFi is far from being over.  :)

I got so disinterested in 2020 about investing in DeFi projects in view of the numerous scams and phony projects that occurred. So you must be certain you realize how to do good research so you can possibly pick just the good projects and regardless of whether the said publicity is finished, as long as you most likely are aware what to invest and where to invest then you need to stress over your investments being scammed by careful individuals.

I don't think so, Defi trend I think is over but some whales are trying to keep this trend alive so they can make quick money.
They will continue to launch the new Defi projects
Coin / Token  Defi project is good for day trading but not for long-term investments. IMO

There are still DeFi projects trying to launch these days. However, they need to give a solid foundation here first as most of them already exited the stage. So the investors are now looking for tangible products or services. Though it is not yet over, but they need to show more concrete results here and not the beta stage of their services.

Even ICO's now arent over yet since there are still project who do keeps on launching out and finding some funding from investors on this market but well, we can really tell the difference when it comes
to success rate because this isnt something just like on that ICO craze where most projects had been funded up due to investors interest or being hype on that time.We arent seeing those things
as of this moment as if the investors itself do become wise and careful on where they should be putting up their money because scams and fraud projects are already rampant into this place.
which means you would need to be careful on choosing which one should really be funded not just on carelessly picking just because someone had suggested it.

I still think we will continue seeing  DeFi hype and also see growth in defi projects this year. projects are aiming to offer the best layer2 solution out there.

almost 5 month after this post you can see its just lil bit correction and defi hype just a beginning, i believe defi more shining in 2021 with lot of great project will born and more simplify our life and lot of opportunity to us to make money from that

I don't think 'over' is a right word, but probably cause there are many same project out there after DeFi got very popular without significant difference, people tend to search for new things. DeFi only probably start to lose the hype, but in 2021 DeFi+NFts seems attracting many people. So, I think DeFi is still there for long journey, but only project that has innovation would be known in 2021. Let's see what else that can be developed from DeFi concept. Finger crossed it would be hype again.

You can be sure if Defi hype just beginning because the Defi market is already flooded with different imitating projects but what keep investors in Defi to date are the free project and airdrop coins they are getting, sooner or later the investors will have enough of the Defi hype just like we have seen with ICO.
Having said, Defi won't shine much this year because major investors only focus on coins accumulated by the institution and the only Defi project that will shine this year are those that offer swap and free money to their investors cause 96% of all crypto investors are after profit.

with more of works from developer investors might finds of one on selection as referring best decision before to put of funds on investment, that different manage with early terms initiation helps as improving risks with the level of strategy on application.

Defi hype maybe fading but Defi surely are here to stay. They were not just a very new concept but they took the decentralized economy to the next level. One of the reason why DeFi are still not getting the attention they need is the complexity of using it and higher gas fees on Ethereum blockchain which is the base layer for most DeFi and where most volume transacts. We'd need better alternatives or an improved ETH platform and more security both and the end of the contract as well as towards the user for DeFi to get mainstream.

DeFi hype is just getting started my man.
It toned down a bit due to high gas fee's, so only big players could afford to move funds around, but once Optimistics roll out, and eip-1559 gets into place, it'll boom like never before

The other reason why there is not so much hype is that people are now focused on NFT's. I like it this way cause when there is a bit less hype the quality goes up.

I think judging by the way it's no longer taken too serious, I can say the hype is over although the coins you listed most of them have done x3 during this bull run, I guess the crypto market focus has shifted towards NFTs which is the current trend  right now, DeFi was the trend last year but not anymore.
Trying to shill this sh*t token, lmao, not buying that crap would rather splash my money on NFTs now :P.

Right now I'm truly cheerful about the way that the whole hype about it is finished and as it settles compeltely we will see all activities that surfaced to capitalize on the promotion will vanish so just certifiable undertakings with strong solid projects that will thrive and that is the thing that we need to see this market improving and pushing ahead. We need quality than amount and solid rivalry among too projects.

In overall, doesn't look like that way, we can see in the total list at https://coinmarketcap.com/defi/

https://i.imgur.com/Aqe3jj4.png

Maybe the hype for new project is already over but there are projects (old) that are still bullish at the moment.

I think that only those tokens that are backed by a worthy project will stay afloat, and the rest will disappear into oblivion. The post was written a long time ago, and now this information is no longer relevant, since many tokens have risen in price again, but again, only tokens with promising projects have grown and will grow.

I'm not in love with NFTs either, the way you were promoting the peak DeFi project made it look scammy, also I have gone the project's your website, I don't really understand why it was created in the first place, and since it's decentralized as they claim it is, I saw somewhere where they said something like you have to deposit some money or whatever, that's a red flag if you ask me, that's why I said it's better I buy an NFT than buy the coin you guys are promoting.

yes Defi is still always trending hot in the crypto world! moreover Uniswap, 1inch, sushi, and several other Defi tokens have experienced a tremendous increase and still cannot be stopped, many new projects in the Defi category are also still the goal of investors, I say Defi is not over yet, and will always exist without end, which want to invest be careful, because many defi projects are scams

It is never over but just getting started, the DeFi mania will not go in any time soon in my own opinion most especially those that are truly decentralized.

The "De-Fi" hype still persists even with high fees and slow transaction confirmation times in play. I think the COVID-19 pandemic is what's causing people to join the crypto/Blockchain train. It may be all over once COVID-19 disappears from the face of the Earth. If "De-Fi" remains after the hype, illegitimate projects could be reduced to a minimum. It seems to me that the "De-Fi" craze is no different than the ICO craze of 2017. Sooner or later, it will all come to an end as governments crackdown on the industry.

At least, we'll have a few legitimate projects around that will continue to provide "De-Fi" services to their users. Current concerns are high fees and slow transaction confirmation times on the ETH blockchain. But that could be over soon with the implementation of PoS, Sharding, and other scalability solutions. Besides, we already have alternative smart contract platforms like Binance Smart Chain, and Polkadot with greater transaction capacity than Ethereum. What's killing "De-Fi" is the lack of real use cases for the mainstream world. It's been nothing but pure hype and speculation where whales and wealthy people make the most profit out of the system. Things will change once "De-Fi" becomes fair enough for the average person to enjoy. As long as you're able to avoid losses in "De-Fi", nothing else matters. Time will tell us whenever "De-Fi" will turn out a huge success or a failed experiment. Just my thoughts ;D

Well I guess DeFi hype is really over but some of them are increasing rapidly especially new DeFi that listed in UniSwap. I don't think DeFi tokens are good for long term investment.. DeFi's known as pump and dump scheme so maybe this good for short term investment only.

Not yet because many defi project coming out everyday but hype concept decrease. Although if every defi project gonna choose IEO for token sales then defi concept will alive long time. I see some defi project manage good partnership for another top project with processing IDO. So if we can called defi market over but concept still alive.

The same thoughts but they really are a thing in the market that can't be ignored. But while defis are covering the market these days with a huge volume coming from them.
There's another craze where everyone is becoming prepared and studying upon learning more from the defis. Both defi and nft are doing it altogether.

They made a benefit and they escaped them to proceed onward to other DEFI projects.I don't think the DeFi publicity is over on the grounds that numerous DeFi projects are as yet rushing to get more financial backers to their project,Many DeFi projects that have been dispatched at the market currently is down too deep,Maybe that is on the grounds that the bitcoin cost actually doesn't increment so high, making the DeFi actually pausing and attempting to welcome more investors.It's anticipated the lone thing we are holding up is the point at which it will ended,There are so numerous who got this in early phase and they got great estimation of cash due to name value.This may be something very similar for the Defi projects.

The token craze is about to start, not over.
Anyone can create a token in a matter of minutes all it needs after that is to convince someone to buy it.

There will certainly be a consumer fever preparing to replace defi, the crypto market always needs a new trend to thrive.

It's funny to see this list after a few months.
Balancer $ 46.48
SushiSwap $ 23.21
Aave $ 406.39
The difference is colossal, time has shown that Defi are very profitable.

It is. DeFi hype was replaced by NFT (non-functional token) hype. You can see that also well, what sums NFT projects and what sums DeFi project collect. Just like the ICO boom and the DeFi boom, the NFT boom will soon be over and then the next one will come.

many airdrop projects that carry Defi, as a reward lately, actually it's easy to see the project is real or not, airdrop is the initial stage in the phase they introduce their coins, I personally if I follow the airdrop if I pay a fee for a claim on telegram I will pass it and report as spam / fraud
and if I claim in a wallet like the one there is currently, mostly in trust wallet, I immediately sell it if it has exceeded the profit from copying the coin.

NFT is the new DeFi.

I thought DeFi would last longer tbh. The hype disappeared way too fast. I didn't really understand DeFi and I surely don't understand NFT. I think NFT is even a bigger scam than DeFi was. We will see how long that one will last.

What I wonder though, what will be the next one? You cannot get any crazier than this.

DeFi is just more than a year older and never yet embraces the mass adoption period just as cryptos and blockchain. It may evolve into some useful derivatives but the concept itself is well established. There is still plenty of room to grow and innovate.

Yes, I agree. There will always be a new craze that will be built up year by year. Just like the NFT which has been around I think since 2 years ago and it just got the boom just this year.
And whatever craze that the makers of these styles will do, then definitely it will be the next generation of hype based on the market's need and the community's need for another craze to see.

It is kind of funny if you look at the market as a whole, one or the other hype pops up and many will join that bandwagon for a long time until that fades away. I have no idea about the DeFi market because i never cared about jumping into it but i have seen many making huge profits without doing literally anything and now the NFT hype because we saw some millions of dollars worth of digital art being purchased.

Right now DeFi hype is no longer there this year, because people are more focused on investing in Bitcoin and some of the top altcoins.
But that doesn't mean DeFi is dead, because some DeFi tokens still show quite high demand this year. And there are still a number of
new DeFi projects still popping up, although not as many as in 2020. That's why the DeFi hype has ended, but DeFi is still there.

the promotion is subsiding, financial backers have made their X. obviously there will in any case be many fascinating DEFI projects with which to work. Presently there are many trick projects coming out as before in ICO.

Crypto land behaves in many strange and bizarre ways. People pour money into projects like crazy without doing their own research. Now that the "De-Fi" hype is starting to fade away, NFTs are starting to gain traction in the mainstream world. What I find odd about digital collectibles is the disparity in prices on the market. A picture that's simply copied from the web was sold for millions of dollars. That's just crazy. Who knows how governments will react to such wild movements in the crypto/Blockchain space? We might see the day where governments impose fierce regulations in order to stifle the growth of the industry in general. This could harm mainstream adoption for "De-Fi" and NFTs as we speak. While decentralization will prevail in the long run, the level of accessibility into the crypto/Blockchain space will decline because of governments' actions against it.

Nonetheless, no can predict the future. My guess is "De-Fi" and NFTs will see the same fate as ICOs once governments begin to crackdown on the industry. We should enjoy these trends while we still can before we lose the opportunity to make some decent profit. Time will tell us whenever "De-Fi" will stand the test of time or become a failed experiment altogether. Just my opinion :)

Most people stay away from crypto just because of that reason alone.

Bitcoin solves a real world problem. It is that you can send and receive money without needing banks. You don't even have to invest in bitcoin to benefit from that feature. You can get some whenever you want from the exchanges or set up your own wallet and receive them from somebody that's willing to pay for your services.

DeFi is bullcrap because it is impossible to get a Decentralized Finance, and NFT is just straight outta bullshit.

I thought ICO mania was the mother of all scams and now we have this.

I don't understand what moron would pay for a digitally autographed tweet link? Jack Dorsey stills owns that tweet. It is not that he is giving you the right to edit or delete that tweet. He is just selling a digital signature.

It will not disappear if the market remains bullish, as long as there are still pump we are witnessing, that is a sign that it's still around and anytime they will again pump. Not every defi projects will pump of course, just like altcoins, not all but few legit and projects with great supporters.

You know, when the market is bullish, it's just easy for them to pump, we are just guessing which of them will.

We can expect that the said pattern and many would say publicity is currently gone since many got unbiased with the promotion due to the numerous scams and phony projects that occurred. So you must be extremely certain you realize how to do good research so you can possibly pick just the good projects and regardless of whether the said publicity is finished, as long as you probably are aware what to invest and where to invest then you need to stress over your investments being scammed by circumspect individuals.

Exactly. It doesn't make sense to pay ridiculous amounts of money for a "digital art" that can be obtained for free. In the case of "De-Fi", only the whales will benefit the most as network fees rise like crazy. Who would pay well above $20 just to make a withdrawal from a decentralized lending platform? This of course, applies to the Ethereum blockchain. Other smart contract platforms like Polkadot and Binance Smart Chain don't have these issues because of their high network capacity. The only downside is that such platforms are less decentralized than Ethereum. No matter which "De-Fi" platform it is, we cannot deny the fact that the market has gone way beyond proportions. I've seen many "De-Fi" tokens with high interest rates, only to become worthless in the long run. People invest in such tokens with the hope of becoming rich in the least time possible. They'll eventually regret their decision as the "De-Fi" hype sees its fate similar to the ICO boom of 2017. Regulators will take everything down faster than you could've ever imagined.

Nonetheless, it seems to me that the "De-Fi" hype is slowly fading away. NFTs is what it's all about these days. In crypto land, strange and bizarre things happen. Who knows what will come up next? Just my thoughts ;D

I'm not quite sure it's over yet, cause there are still tons of projects coming up everyday, claiming to be decentralized when they are not, but soon the DeFi hype will come to an end, cause I remember back then when the DeFi hype was still there, people were always excited about investing in DeFi projects, but since scammers came in and rug pull started people are no longer excited whenever they hear about DeFi projects, cause they feel they might get scammed, DeFi will be gone soon the new hype is NFTs and buying of tweets on Twitter which is really crazy,its funny how people spend money on stuffs like that.

I will support your words, defi projects will not go away soon,there will still be dozens of them released every month.Until the end of this year, I am sure the trend will continue.

The DeFi hype faded away because of scammers that funds their way into defi season, defi itself is never a scam but the teams behind it fake up everything, collecting funds without listing and and fulfilling their promises, as it is now, the first set of defi is doing well in the market now because the teams were active and created the required yield farming, provided liquidity for hodlers, these were only the characteristics Defi carries while the current Defi projects failed to attain all these. Trading only go liquid on DEX if the team provide good LP (Liquidity providers).

Dozens lol. Billions of tokens but but one thing cheapest wins. Noone is interrested in fees. Takes five minutes or less to make token.
Dozens is like they where talking about 10 years ago.

I don't think the Hype of DEFI is faded out or over now but it is shifting from Ethereum to BNB . Polkdot and Heco networks because Ethereum network is almost un useable for an average trader/Investor due to Huge Gas/Transaction fee . There are many successful  projects like CAKE, JULSWAP, 1INCH  and BAKERY SWAP  on Binance smart chain and these projects have paid huge rewards to their investors during the past 2 months. The returns from these projects are from 2X to 10X which is highly impressive.

NFT hype will even disappear faster than Defi hype. Even though it is pretty much impossible to achieve, at least defi was offering something usable in real life. NFT on the other hand, is a complete scam. I see the dump has started already but it might be a fake one.

DeFi can continue in the market cycle but the hype of DeFi has already dropped. People love to run through trend. At first we should judge what is it and the purpose of it. How potential it is and so many wh if we want to justify a market cycle.

There is not one of the coins mentioned below that has not made an amazing 200% percent. If these coins were bought as at time of the mention and the portfolio was locked, going back to it will create at least a 150 to 300% turnover on investment. I am guessing the author of this post did some good research or analysis.

Something new needs to be brought to this area, so that it is again on such a hype.

New projects are already working on this, creating new technologies that will bring back all the hype in this area!

You are absolutely right. So0me innovative ideas need to be introduced in this sector to attract new investment, Recently NFTs also launched on DEFIs like Pancake swap that should create new interest in this space. One of the issue of DEFIs is they print huge number of new coins every second that creates glut of coins in the market  and price of coin falls, this issue need to be addressed by burning mechanism to stabilize price.

Not over in my opinion. It just had too many . Like the ICOs and tokenization stuff happened back in the days. Early adapters will also try to start fulfilling the whitepapers they had published , like any other disruptive innovation, some will succeed some don't and others will be adopted by bigger projects.

The DeFi project might end when more and more DeFi projects end up scams. Currently, there are not too many though we have already found a scammer among the new DeFi projects. but everything is still going on, this is because the market is in a correction. The adoption may decrease and focus more on market movements. but when the market is in the worst condition it should be potential for a new project to be one that investors trust.

How teh fuck they call themselves defi when they are not decentralized? What a load of horseshit. I mean it is their name, "decentralized finance", what good is it if they cannot provide decentralization? I'd rather get an account from a reputable stocks broker at least I'll have somebody listening to my problems when things go bad. Why you are going to complain to when defi on eth or polkadot fails? Maybe Vitalik will hard fork the chain like he did before  8)


Something that is even more retarded than the earlier stuff.

Constantly the same thing can not be heard in any way, many projects have disappeared, but also many have remained on the market and still continue to live, so such a loud hype is gone-yes, but projects were created, and will be created!

Maybe is always more than one.. but it's hard to really identity how big the market is if we don't use figure.

I think the the hype of the entire market is still here, hence DeFi hype is still here.

By the way, I don't use HYIP ( high yield investment program) as most most likely its a scam.
I'd rather consider the hype as its more legit and same way it would increase the price but with real investors.

No doubt there were many scams in DEFI sector like it happened with ICOs back in 2018 but there are many legit projects like PANCAKE SWAP and JULSWAP where investors have made huge profit during the past 6 months. There is lot of innovation and new partnerships  in this sectors that is why people are still investing in good projects. I believe Legit projects in this sector will continue performing no matter crypto market is Bullish or Bearish.

I do not think anyone who is watching the space can say the hype is over!

I still think this is another ICO where people can pump and dump but unlike ICOs where people really had no reason to speculate after dumping at least with defi you sort of need long-term periods to stake and farm so it may last a little longer than ICO season!

I disagree with this saying that defi hype is over and that is because the decentralized finance industry is still relatively new and the concepts and principles that have been brought up have not been fully tested although they are liable work and have been conceptualised in theory but in actual practice some of these Concepts like decentralized insurance is still in the infancy stage and I think there's a lot more to come so the hype definitely not over

Is the hype over? I think it's just beginning. How many projects have made huge percentages. How many projects are about to fire now. Take a closer look at UNI, TWT, CRV. Coins with huge potential

Not yet but there's another hype for most investors. They're all into the new projects that are being made in BSC, binance smart chain. That's how they're choosing projects to invest in today because they really are making money from it.
From the very few satoshis of its price and as it increases a little by little, that's making them profitable and others are also encouraged to see those traders who are making from it. But it's a very risky strategy for me if you're going to ask me.

mungkin masalah ini masih belum sepenuhnya selesai karena masih banyak project scam yang baru saja memulainya dan masih berusaha membodohi semua orang yang terpikat denganya, tapi yang pasti hype defi sudah meredup, tidak menggila seperti bulan lalu.

The crypto market is improving a lot compared to before so the defi hype market will not end these are starting many new projects are being added to the market for which the number of investors is increasing. The defi projects are currently working in the market and include most of the token currencies this is why there is no end in sight the demand for these projects is increasing and investors are becoming profitable.

The Defi hype is just picking up steam. I heard such a conversation from experts that we have only reached 1/3 of the total hype. So I'm now stuffing my portfolio with coins

That's the point. Major projects are using the term "decentralized" just to attract investors and traders into them. It's all about making money by taking advantage of decentralization in a wrongful manner. People are foolish enough to believe that everything is decentralized, when in fact, it is not. It's a good thing that crypto/Blockchain tech is open source. Otherwise, no one would be able to verify if a project is as decentralized as it claims to be.

Sadly, most people are miseducated about "decentralized finance". They often complain when something goes wrong in the long run. That's because they didn't take their time to learn more about how "De-Fi" works before pouring money into a cryptocurrency project. This will lead to massive losses in the long run, as the risks in "De-Fi" are extremely high compared to traditional banks. The "De-Fi" hype may not be over yet, as people are still pouring money like crazy in even the most unexpected projects you could've ever imagined. Once it's all over, we may being to see truly-legitimate projects in the crypto/Blockchain space. Just my thoughts ;D

This can't be the end. By and large, everything will depend only on the state of the market. Remember the last global correction, all trends at that time had positive dynamics, however, at the moment when the market globally began to look bad, the trends followed it. Therefore, while we will see an uptrend in the market, we will see growth in all other areas of the crypto market.

English please hahaha.

It's interesting because as you say the Defi hype is just getting started. alt season encourages people to become more interested in defi and try to fill their portfolio with defi tokens.

my conclusion is defi hype is not over yet.

This is not a discussion place for your local language, so it's best if before posting or giving suggestions to others, it's a good idea to make it in international language, namely English, this is just a small suggestion from me and doesn't need to be responded to.

It can be dragged all the time when it comes to market movement and where the trend is going then expect that other things will be tied up as well, not all but majority of them will really be going on the
same direction which had been a casual thing that could happen in the market. For now about DeFi then it might be the noise had gone down low but doesnt mean that they had already lost their
popularity and still there are still some numbers of projects that connected to it are still relevant and still making up some noise.It is just people arent really that dumb
just like on what happened on that ICO craze.

Is this a joke.? I mean it's clearly written that the DeFi hype is no more something to shout about unlike in 2020 when everyone was super excited about any DeFi project, it seems all the attention has shifted towards NFTs and we can't deny that NFTs is the new trend, personally I feel the DeFi hype has gone since 9/10 of all the new projects now are all proclaimed defi projects nothing special about DeFi anymore.

I think DeFi will stay here as long as cryptocurrencies is here, DeFi is like Bank in Fiat World. You can Lend or Borrow from DeFi. They money is provided by Community and it is safer then any lend/borrow which use centralised system. We are slowly moving in to decentralised, just give them a time to make good DeFi concept.

Now everything is a little different from the time when the ICO boom was. A very large role was played by the bear market and the avalanche-like number of scammers at that time.
Now, in DeFi projects, there are fewer scams, because in general they are all decentralized, which does not allow you to just get money from honest people.
