去中心化金融 (DeFi) 未能幸免于最近的加密货币冲击。这场崩盘最终使比特币和以太坊等顶级代币比历史最高价低了 50%，也拖累了 DeFi 市场。结果是所有去中心化金融协议的总价值锁定 (TVL) 下降了近 50%，在崩盘开始之前，该协议的总价值一直高达 1900 亿美元。
5 月初，DeFi 市场开始于TVL 总额近 2000 亿美元 .现在，虽然市场在新的一个月之前一直呈下降趋势，但没有任何值得警惕的重大走势。直到最近，随着加密货币市场出现近期记忆中最残酷的缩水之一，这种情况才开始发生变化。

在 4 月的最后一周损失了约 200 亿美元之后，DeFi 终于在 5 月 9 日陷入崩溃。在三天的时间里，市场蒸发了大约 300 亿美元的 TVL。考虑到随后发生的事情，这种残酷的下跌趋势将被证明只是一个开始。
5 月 9 日开始时总 TVL 为 1800 亿美元。然而，到 5 月 11 日，这一数字已降至 1500 亿美元。即使投资者希望经济复苏，但也看不到复苏的迹象。随后是另一次回撤，使总损失略高于市场 TVL 的 40%。

目前，DeFi 市场的 TVL 在所有现有协议中为 1124.6 亿美元。从这个角度来看，最高 TVL 略高于 2520 亿美元。这是在 12 月 4 日的崩盘后不久的 2021 年 12 月。这意味着整个 DeFi 空间在五个月内蒸发了超过 1400 亿美元。
DeFi 协议 Terra 一直处于近期市场下跌趋势的前沿和中心。事实上，大部分崩盘是由于网络投资者蒙受的巨额损失造成的。然而，正如区块链的原生代币遭受了巨大的损失，网络上的 TVL 也是如此。
Terra 在过去几个月中成长为 TVL 的第二大 DeFi 平台。它以 TVL 最终在 4 月 6 日达到 313.5 亿美元的峰值，击败了 BSC 和 Avalanche 等顶级玩家，为自己赢得了这个称号。

在其他地方，LUNA 也没有那么火爆。它的供应量已超过 240 亿，并且随着用户利用 UST 和 LUNA 质押带来的套利机会而不断增长。该代币的价格在主要交易所实际上已降至零，而 Binance、eToro 和 Bybit 等其他交易所已将加密货币从其平台上除名。
