Today, Chainlink announced it now secures more than $93 billion – a new all-time high – throughout DeFi. At the time of publication, Chainlink’s Total Value Secured (TVS) – a metric representing the entire amount of economic value secured by Chainlink’s oracle networks – surpassed $95 billion across 452 protocols.
Since the birth of DeFi, Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network has evolved to provide a comprehensive set of web3 services that power a growing spectrum of DeFi lending and borrowing protocols, DEXs, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets throughout the onchain economy.
As of August 2025, Chainlink powers the majority of DeFi; more than 2,000 Chainlink Price Feeds hold over 67% of the total oracle market, securing over 83% of the value on Ethereum and nearly 100% of the value on Base.
As the standard for onchain finance, Chainlink’s comprehensive web3 services support a variety of top DeFi protocols such as Aave, GMX, and Lido alongside some of the world’s largest financial infrastructures and institutions such as Swift, ANZ, and Fidelity International.
By allowing smart contracts to securely access offchain data and computation as well as cross-chain interoperability across more than 50 networks, Chainlink has enabled more than $24 trillion in transaction value. Its widespread adoption is fueled by a network effect in which more integrations drive increased user fees for enhanced security, lower oracle service costs, and greater incentives for data providers.
During his Consensus 2025 keynote, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov explained how the recently launched Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), which makes it faster and easier to build DeFi applications that are compatible with existing financial systems, is designed to open the floodgates for institutional capital to grow DeFi’s market cap from $100 billion to $100 trillion.
A new Digital Asset Report issued by the White House highlights Chainlink’s vital role in facilitating a global onchain economy that is more transparent, efficient, and accessible than the traditional financial system. Chainlink also recently launched a strategic reserve as part of its Payment Abstraction system, which automatically converts alternative assets from onchain and offchain payments for Chainlink services into LINK.
