image by Zoltan Tasi

Our 16 selected DeFi projects “Mcap/TVL ratio” average is down at 0.15 from last month 0.28 (i.e. $0.15 market cap for every $1 (TVL) value locked. The Mcap/TVL ratio (using fully diluted Mcap) is also down from 0.65 in Nov to 0.37 as at 17th Dec 2021. I have included a new diagram to reflect this data over time below.

Currently, at these Mcap/TVL ratios (Mcap & fully diluted Mcap), there has never been a better time to accumulate defi projects since this data set started in Feb 2021 - remember to DYOR!

The following 3 projects have below average ratios (ie the best three projects) at 17th Dec and we’ve included the data from Nov as reference: $LDO, $BAL and $CRV. 

$CVX, $MAKER, $AAVE and $COMP are all worthy mentions, with historically low MCap/TVL ratios.

Projects less than the average have usually performed better than their peers - DYOR

Data as at 17th Dec 2021

From a market cap. perspective, $UNI is still out ahead, with $CRV making a challenge in difficult market conditions. Of interest here is the only project with an increase in Mcap was $CVX - 14.43% increase from November 2021.

Market Cap - observations (UNI & CRV)

The TVL chart (as at 17th Dec) shows the continued strength of $CRV, $MKR $CVX and $AAVE, however it is definitely worth pointing out the growth in TVL of following 3 projects $MKR (+95.6%), $UNI (+56.3%) and $CVX (14.8%) since early November 2021.
