It looks like the DeFi circus is back in town and the acrobats are doing backflips and turning heads left, right and centre. AAVE is up more than 15% over the last 24 hours and yesterday set a new all-time high $506. The protocol is now the second-ranked DeFi platform by total value locked (TVL), reportedly driving by an influx of big institutional players (including, rumour has it, billionaire Mark Cuban). Solana has been another big gainer recently, with the blockchain gaining 85% over the last week and breaking into the top 30, while ADA also continues its winning streak and is currently trading at more than $0.50 for the first time since Feb 2018.
