Ethereum’s 2025 Domination: $99B DeFi & $18.8T Stablecoin Shenanigans 🚀

According to a New Year’s proclamation on X (because who needs a speechwriter?), Ethereum’s DeFi TVL hit $99 billion-nearly ten times the next Layer 1’s pitiful offering.

TopMob has been chronicling this particular whale since 2020, ever since we deduced it’s likely a single entity rather than a “gang of wallets” playing dress-up.
