Market Intelligence: Current Flow State

Our algorithms are currently tracking $28.7 Million in net positive liquidity inflows across the tracked DeFi ecosystem over the last 7 days. The data reveals a distinct trend favouring Ethereum, which accounts for 2 of the top 8 high-growth pools.

Highest Yielding Opportunity: The most aggressive yield within the high-inflow category is currently USDC, offering an APY of 3.48%. Liquidity Magnet: In terms of raw capital magnitude, USDC has absorbed the largest verified inflow ($9.36M) this week, suggesting strong institutional or whale-tier confidence.

Money Flow Calculation Methodology

Individual Pool Growth

Formula:
Growth % = ((Current TVL - TVL 7 Days Ago) / TVL 7 Days Ago) × 100

Example: Pool grows from $7,000M to $7,162M
Growth = ($7,162M - $7,000M) / $7,000M × 100 = 2.31%

Time Window: 168 hours ±4h buffer for data availability

Average Growth Rate

Formula (TVL-Weighted):
Avg Growth = (Total Current TVL - Total Start TVL) / Total Start TVL × 100

This is a dollar-weighted aggregate - larger pools have proportional impact on the average. This matches industry-standard portfolio growth calculations.

Current Value: 2.20% aggregate growth across all tracked pools

Inclusion Filters

  • Minimum TVL: $100,000 (filters small pools)
  • Minimum APY: 2% (active lending pools only)
  • Growth Threshold: >1% OR >$100k absolute increase
  • Outlier Protection: Growth <500% (prevents data errors/anomalies)
  • Display Limit: Top 50 pools by growth percentage

Trend Classifications

Explosive ≥30% growth (7 days)
Hot 15-29% growth
Growing 1-14% growth

Categories based on 7-day TVL velocity - indicates capital flow intensity

Risk Sentiment

Formula:
Compares absolute capital flowing into high-yield pools (>10% APY) vs safer pools (≤10% APY)

Risk-On: More capital in high-yield pools (>50%)
Risk-Off: More capital in safer pools (≤50%)

Current Sentiment: Risk-Off (Flight to Safety)

Data Sources

  • Current TVL: Latest blockchain RPC data (direct protocol queries)
  • Historical TVL: 7-day lookback (168 hours ±4h window)
  • Update Frequency: Hourly on-chain indexing
  • Verification: Direct smart contract calls for accuracy
  • Cache Duration: 1 hour (balance freshness vs load)

Key Metrics Explained

Verified Inflow Total absolute TVL increase across all tracked pools = $28.7M
Dominant Chain Chain with most pools in top growth list = Ethereum (2 pools)
Avg Growth Rate TVL-weighted aggregate growth = 2.20%
Risk Sentiment Based on APY distribution of inflows = Risk-Off (Flight to Safety)

How to Use This Data

  • Identify Early Trends: Explosive/Hot classifications often precede broader market awareness
  • Follow Smart Money: Large absolute inflows ($10M+) suggest institutional confidence
  • Risk Context: Cross-reference growth with Safety Scores before deploying capital
  • Chain Rotation: Dominant chain shifts indicate evolving liquidity preferences
  • Yield Hunting: High growth + high APY may indicate new incentive programs

Transparency Note: All calculations use verified on-chain data. TVL snapshots are taken hourly via direct blockchain RPC calls. Growth percentages reflect 7-day rolling windows. This methodology is designed to be reproducible - you can verify our calculations using the formulas above and publicly available blockchain data.

Methodology: How We Track Money Flow

The Data: We track factual capital movements across DeFi protocols by indexing on-chain data hourly. This report highlights pools that have grown their Total Value Locked (TVL) meaningfully in the last 7 days.

Why track flow? Liquidity often follows incentives or yield opportunities. You can track DeFi capital inflows hourly to identify rotation cycles before they become mainstream. Significant inflows usually precede broader market awareness of a specific protocol strategy.


What is the difference between 'Explosive' and 'Growing'?

We categorise liquidity inflows based on velocity. Explosive pools have seen TVL increase by >30% in 7 days, often indicating a new incentive programme or significant capital rotation. Hot pools (15-30%) represent strong momentum, while Growing pools show steady, organic capital accumulation usually associated with mature protocols.

Does High TVL Growth mean a token pump?

Not necessarily, though they are often correlated. TVL growth means liquidity providers are locking assets into the protocol. This increases the protocol's revenue and stickiness, which is a fundamental bullish indicator, but token price is subject to broader market speculation.
