Aave and Uniswap both set records during May 2025, depicting new growth in the DeFi sector. Aave reached a record Total Value Locked (TVL) of $25 billion on May 11, 2025, up 21% driven by massive investments, particularly from large crypto investors, in the Ethereum network. This achievement makes Aave the leader among DeFi platforms, providing increasing confidence among users and platform usage.
Uniswap was the first DEX to capture over $3 trillion in total trading volume on May 12, 2025. It is currently handling about $3.6 billion in daily trade volume and still leading with 24% of the entire global DEX markets. Uniswap's Total Value Locked (TVL) still lingers below its 2021 high even with the all-time high trading volume.
These Aave and Uniswap milestones bear witness to growing DeFi size and an outflow of capital from trad finance into decentralized protocols. Their growth suggests a new stage in DeFi growth
