Macro headwinds, higher rates & a bloodbath of centralized insolvencies in 2022 (culminated by the FTX collapse) extinguished capital from DeFi. The hangover left DeFi licking its wounds through 2023.

Pendle's resurgence was largely driven by ample liquidity from composable LSD tokens and the LSD narrative, spurring organic volume for rate trading. 🔮 Notional volume on Pendle has since surged up to $400M daily (vs. $7M at the time of writing) LSDs now comprise over 75% of Pendle's TVL (vs. 60% end of 2023).
