A Big Break Ahead for Ethereum (ETH) DeFi, Here’s the Reason — TradingView News
The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector within the Ethereum network is poised for a major breakthrough. This projection is based on recent observations within the ecosystem and broader cryptocurrency space. Renowned analyst and co-founder of Syncracy Capital, Ryan Watkins, claims that the current Ethereum DeFi setup is the strongest it has been since 2020.
Strong revenue growth and low DeFi valuations
The optimism lies in several factors such as revenue volume, technological improvements and Ethereum spot exchange traded funds, ETFs, awaiting the final green light from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
According to Watkins’ analysis, DeFi executives are seeing record revenues, while their valuations are at historic lows. This combination of high revenue and low valuation presents an attractive opportunity for investors.

DeFi leaders are generating unprecedented revenues across the board, but valuations are the cheapest in history.

Some of the top DeFi applications on the Ethereum network, such as Lido, MakerDAAO, Uniswap, and Aave, saw gradual increases in revenue, surpassing their 2022 highs. Aave’s annualized revenue for 2022 was a just over $500 million. However, in May 2024, it reached an all-time high of $750 million.
Additionally, these revenues are expected to grow even more as DeFi leaders implement major upgrades, such as Maker’s Endgame and Uniswap V4.
Additionally, the introduction of the Ethereum ETF is expected to spark renewed interest in the Ethereum economy. Despite a difficult regulatory environment since the “DeFi summer,” the sector is gradually experiencing improvements. Even if no major political changes are expected in the short term, the general discourse is becoming more favorable.
Market dynamics and future outlook
Watkins insists that as long as the long-term uptrend continues, DeFi should benefit from positive momentum, given its highly cyclical nature. Market experts are optimistic that more and more users will be attracted to DeFi offerings, further fueling growth.
Although Uniswap has yet to generate revenue, Watkins maintains that the possibility of activating the fee change appears imminent.
