Over the past week, Total Value Locked (TVL) in the cryptocurrency market has shown remarkable growth, with Bitcoin gaining $3.09 billion and Ethereum
Bitcoin (BTC), the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has seen its Total Value Locked (TVL) increase by $3.09 billion over the past week. This growth is largely driven by a massive seven-day capital inflow into the Bitcoin network, as indicated by on-chain data.
As of December 16, 2024, Bitcoin's TVL stands at $31.46 billion, reflecting a significant rise from the $28.37 billion recorded on December 9. This seven-day capital inflow into Bitcoin amounts to $3.09 billion, contributing to the overall increase in the cryptocurrency's TVL.
Bitcoin's price has also seen a notable seven-day gain of 3.7%, rising from $17,863 on December 9 to reach $18,527 by December 16. This price increase, coupled with the substantial capital inflow, has played a key role in driving up Bitcoin's TVL.
Meanwhile, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Ethereum (ETH), has also seen a substantial increase in its TVL. Over the past seven days, Ethereum's TVL has grown by $2.22 billion.
According to on-chain data, there has been a significant seven-day capital outflow from Ethereum, amounting to $1.11 billion. Despite this capital outflow, Ethereum's TVL has still risen markedly, reaching $24.38 billion on December 16 as opposed to $22.16 billion on December 9.
This increase in Ethereum's TVL is largely attributed to a seven-day price gain of four percent, rising from $1,587 on December 9 to reach $1,644 by December 16. This price increase, combined with the capital outflow, has resulted in a net gain in Ethereum's TVL.
Notably, the Hyperliquid chain has seen a remarkable growth in its TVL, which has increased by $1.87 billion over the past seven days. This growth is fueled by significant inflows of USDC into the Hyperliquid chain.
On December 9, the Hyperliquid chain had a total of $3.13 billion in USDC, which increased to $4.16 billion by December 16, indicating a net inflow of $1.03 billion in USDC over seven days. This substantial capital inflow has contributed to a total TVL of $6.17 billion for the Hyperliquid chain as of December 16.
These seven-day capital flows into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Hyperliquid are highlighting the shifting dynamics within the cryptocurrency market. As the year 2024 draws to a close, these trends will likely continue to shape the landscape of the crypto industry.
