DeFi Pulse says there's just under $100B in TVL. [1] About $10B was lost and stolen this past year depending on where you look - $7.7B according to this article, but I saw $10B circulating too.
I don't think DefiPulse has everything. Here's a few more off the top of my head, though I'm sure there is more:
- $5.5 billion (TVL on Eth L2s via L2Beat)
- $4 billion (ETH 2.0 staking contract)
- $17 billion (Polkadot staking)
- $16.5 billion (Cardano staking)
- $36 billion (Solana staking)
The article's figures include the centralized Turkish exchange which made off with ~2.6B , so I don't think it's fair to consider it the same kind of thing.
> Rug pulls have emerged as the go-to scam of the DeFi ecosystem, accounting for 37% of all cryptocurrency scam revenue in 2021
So 37% of $7.7 billion is $2.849 billion.
> All in all, rug pulls took in more than $2.8 billion worth of cryptocurrency from victims in 2021.
> Itβs important to remember that not all rug pulls start as DeFi projects. In fact, the biggest rug pull of the year centered on Thodex... In all, users lost over $2 billion worth of cryptocurrency, which represents nearly 90% of all value stolen in rug pulls. However, all the other rug pulls in 2021 began as DeFi projects.
The graph shows $2.6 billion was lost with Thodex. So that leaves $0.249 billion that was lost in projects that were rug pulls that began as DeFi projects.
