A prominent Bitcoin staking platform has surged in protocol fees yesterday, securing its place among the top decentralized finance platforms.
On Sunday, Solv Protocol amassed $1.48 million in protocol fees, placing it in 6th position on DefiLlama’s list of top decentralized finance platforms.
This increase in activity saw Solv Protocol surpass both Solana, which generated $1.24 million, and Uniswap, which brought in $1.15 million in fees.
As a Bitcoin staking platform, Solv Protocol now boasts $1.4 billion in total value locked (TVL), the highest within the BTCFi ecosystem. The platform aims to tap into over $1 trillion worth of Bitcoin assets through its SolvBTC staking product.
The platform’s native token (SOLV) is set for release in the latter half of 2024.
DefiLlama also showed that Tether led the rankings with $13 million in fees over the same period, followed by Circle at $4 million.
Brad Garlinghouse has flatly denied that Ripple ever attempted to acquire Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, shutting down weeks of speculation about a potential $5 billion deal.
A sharp rally could be brewing for the S&P 500, with analysts suggesting the index may push toward 7,400 in the coming months—a move that would mark a significant leap from its current level near 5,950.
