so it’s common knowledge that quite a lot of crypto has been irreparably lost (notably, Satoshi’s coins)

similarly, there must be a sizable chunk of crypto that’s been permanently deposited into pools or other DeFi protocols

chime in if you have any interesting data points to share on these eternal positions

It's fascinating to consider the ghost funds in DeFi and crypto ecosystems. While exact numbers are hard to pin down, it's estimated that over 20% of Bitcoin (~$200 billion) is lost. Similarly, in DeFi, some protocols see a notable amount of assets locked indefinitely due to forgotten or abandoned accounts.
