DeFi lending platforms are experiencing market fluctuations, with total borrowing amount dropping 23% in a single week, hitting a three-month low. Major protocols Aave and Compound shrank by 28% and 19% respectively, indicating that traders are significantly deleveraging. Analysts point out that panic has led investors to prioritize loan repayments over new borrowing. Nevertheless, the market adjustment provides an opportunity for robust development in the future, and investors can look for potential recovery opportunities.
