Why This Cardano Based Lending Platform Records A 20% Up In TVL
Data from DeFi Llama records a massive increase in the total value locked (TVL) of FluidTokens, a Cardano-based lending protocol. This blockchain deployed its smart contract capabilities in late 2021 and has been experiencing a spike in ecosystem growth as more projects are launched on mainnet.

According to DeFi Llama, the Cardano-based lending and borrowing platform has seen a 20% increase in its TVL for the past week and a 56,600% increase in its TVL during the past hour. FluidTokens managed to take the 7th position in terms of TVL with $24,200.
This is far below the number one protocol in terms of TVL, WingRiders, which records $50 million, and the second protocol in the ranking, Minswap, which records $37 million. However, FluidTokens has been live for over a month and has been consolidating important partnerships which suggests the trend could extend.
Via Twitter, the team behind the project announced a partnership with Eternl, a Cardano light wallet provider. The collaboration will allow users to access FluidTokens products “from any device”.
In addition, the platform has been enabling liquidity for other Cardano projects. The platform will allow users to trade with Yummi Universe non-fungible tokens (NFTs), a popular project on this blockchain, and allow users to access a new use case: using their digital assets to obtain liquidity.
Further data provided by DeFi Llama record a spike in token inflows and USD Inflows for FluidTokens over the past week. This spike in protocol activity could be related to the partnerships and collaboration announced during June and July.
In the coming months, the protocol will enable a staking functionality for its native token FLUID and will consolidate sponsorships of DAO investment funds. By the end of the year, the platform will deploy additional functionalities to incentivize user activity further.
Cardano Follows General Market Trend
The Cardano ecosystem has been expanding at a fast pace and has generated a lot of attention due to its “Vasil” Hard Fork Combinator (HFC) event. At the time of writing, ADA’s price trades at $0.44 with a 4% profit in the last 24 hours and a 4% loss over the past week.
The upcoming HFC “Vasil” will implement network updates and improvements to the Cardano blockchain. This should contribute to ADA’s price and bring bullish momentum to the cryptocurrency.
Cardano has been trending to the downside more aggressively than other cryptocurrencies in the top 10 by market cap. This is probably motivated by the general risk-off sentiment across the crypto market.

Data from Material Indicators records significant resistance for ADA’s price as it climbs from its current levels. There are over $2 million in asks orders poised to operate as major resistance. If the cryptocurrency can surpass this level, it will find resistance at around $0.50.
Popular Cardano-based decentralized exchange WingRiders has lost its position as the most valuable DEX on Cardano.
WingRiders slumped from the first position to third after losing more than 59% of the total value locked (TVL) on the platform in the past 30 days.
At the time of writing this line, WingRiders is now the third-largest DEX by total value locked, with a TVL of $19.66 million. It is noteworthy that WingRiders maintained the top spot for more than two months, claiming 42% of TVL On Cardano. However, the DEX has fallen from glory ever since.
Minswap Is Now Cardano’s Most Valuable DEX
The development also affected the total value locked on Cardano. The total value locked on Cardano has fallen below $100 million in the last 30 days after the WingRiders TVL slumped.
Interestingly, Minswap has taken the lead to become the most valuable decentralized exchange on Cardano after the massive decline of WingRiders’ TVL.
At press time, Minswap is leading, with a $49.09 million total value locked on the platform. The DEX hit the milestone after recording a massive growth of 30.9% in its TVL in the past 30 days. Minswap accounts for 51.82% of the total value locked on Cardano.
SundaeSwap, the first decentralized exchange on Cardano, is now the second most valuable DEX in the ecosystem. SundaeSwap is second in the ranking, with $19.72 million in TVL.
Like WingRiders, SundaeSwap has also lost a significant amount of its TVL over the past 30 days. In the past month, SundaeSwap has lost nearly 10% of the funds locked on the platform.
Commenting on the development, Cardano Daily, a platform that shares new developments about Cardano, said:
“After the major decline of @wingriderscom, the TVL scenario of the Cardano ecosystem has stabilized back to normal as we have seen in the past few weeks. @MinswapDEX still led the ecosystem with $51M TVL, contributing 50% of the ecosystem.”
