Introduction
The cryptocurrency market witnessed a remarkable explosion of growth during the 2021 decentralized finance (DeFi) Summer, fueled by an intense fear of missing out (FOMO), which propelled prices of Bitcoin (BTC) and most of the cryptocurrency market to all-time highs. During this period, the total value locked (TVL) across DeFi platforms soared to nearly $180 billion before crashing down to reality.
The Past Few Weeks: A Turning Point?
As the BTC price has recently crossed the $30,000 threshold, some are speculating whether the market is gearing up for another bull run. This could signal renewed interest from both veterans of past cycles and newcomers to crypto in exploring DeFi opportunities. To cater to this growing demand, Cointelegraph Research’s latest report aims to provide insights to both past, present, and future DeFi users.

Potential for Growth: A Look Back at 2021 DeFi Summer
Before investing in DeFi, it’s essential to understand the potential for growth if there is increased interest in the future. Looking back at the chart below of DeFi’s dramatic rise during the 2021 DeFi Summer, we can see that there is still plenty of room to grow to at least the levels achieved during the last bull cycle.

While there is no guarantee that the crypto markets will replicate this move, it does indicate that there was once a market appetite for DeFi at these levels. The question potential investors have to ask themselves is: "Is there more or less adoption today than in the past?" and "Could there be more or less adoption in the future than today?"
So Many Tools, So Little Time
Unlike the early days of cryptocurrency, there are numerous tools and applications available at DeFi participants’ fingertips. It’s impossible to put all the different solutions that have been founded and launched into one chart.
