- Bitcoin TVL reaches $315 million.
- BTC NFT volume maintains its spot among the top NFT networks.
Recent data showed a significant historical increase in Bitcoin [BTC] Total value locked (TVL). This is despite the fact that the network was not a traditional Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform.
Additionally, there has recently been a surge in Non-Fungible Token (NFT) volume, a sector that was not originally associated with the network.
Bitcoin TVL is experiencing a historic rise
Recent data from Crypto Rank showed that Bitcoin has reached an all-time high in its Total Value Locked (TVL), currently around $315 million.
This achievement comes despite Bitcoin’s non-traditional role as a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform. Moreover, the previous record was set in November 2021.
Furthermore, the network’s success in this regard can be attributed to its unique approach. Although Bitcoin does not support smart contracts, developers use the base layer strategically as a settlement layer.
By moving complex use cases to higher layers, they aim to improve functionality without compromising scalability or security. This strategy has led to several locked-asset protocols, which have contributed significantly to the increased TVL.
The positive price developments of BTC have also further increased the TVL.
BTC price development
Until recently, Bitcoin was on an impressive uptrend and reaching new highs. However, this increase has temporarily come to a halt in the past 48 hours, characterized by slight drops in value.
At the time of writing, BTC was trading down less than 1% after several days of consecutive declines.

Notably, despite these declines, the price has managed to hold within the $43,000 range. The previous BTC price increase also had a notable effect on the value of locked BTCs. This has played an important role in the observed increase in Total Value Locked (TVL).
Bitcoin NFT volume retains the top three ranking
Bitcoin has experienced a notable increase in volume in sales of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), marking a new historical development. Similar to Decentralized Finance (DeFi), NFTs were not originally supported by the network architecture.
However, developers have come up with a method to create NFTs on the network via inscriptions.
