The full value of what we call the DeFi market is actually not as high as the respective market caps of Ripple (XRP) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Although the DeFi industry has developed rapidly in the past few months, its prospects are still not big enough.

Compared with all publicly traded Layer 1 projects other than Bitcoin and Ethereum, the gap between DeFi is also very obvious. The current total value of DeFi is an order of magnitude smaller than these projects, and the current total value of Layer 1 cryptocurrency projects is 45.7 billion US dollars.

However, in addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, there are also many cryptocurrencies among the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market value that are not worth mentioning. Some first-generation cryptocurrencies are useless, and there are many so-called "Ethereum killers" and obsolete items.
