DeFi Transactions Surge Amid Silicon Valley Bank’s Fall and USDC Volatility

Cointime Official

DappRadar released a report on the aftermarket of Silicon Valley Bank's (SVB) fall. As one of the most susceptible categories to market crashes and uncertainty periods, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) saw a surge in transactions amid USDC's volatility.

"On 11 March, following the SVB crash and USDC depegging, the DeFi market experienced a significant drop in its TVL, falling by 9.6% from $79.28 billion to $71.61 billion. The news created panic among investors, leading to a considerable sell-off and a decrease in the TVL." DappRadar wrote in the report.

The market received a boost on Monday, March 13th, when the USDC reserve deposit held at Silicon Valley Bank became fully accessible to the public, resulting in market stabilization. As a result, DeFi TVL surged by 13%, reaching $81.15 billion. In addition, the number of unique active wallets (UAW) interacting with DeFi contracts also rose by 13% between March 8 and March 11, increasing from 421,026 to 477,094.

Notably, Uniswap V3 saw a notable surge in its number of unique active wallets (UAW) over the weekend, reaching over 67,000 on Saturday, March 11, with a volume of $14.4 billion, the highest recorded figure for V3. This was the highest number of UAW recorded on a Uniswap dapp since the summer of 2021. In addition, the average transaction size on Uniswap V3 on Saturday was $170,080, nearly twice the mean, indicating that Ethereum DeFi whales were particularly active over the weekend.

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
