The DeFi lending market continues to show stark concentration dynamics. Currently, leading lending protocols are commanding significant capital with active loan positions hitting $21.5 billion—substantially outpacing the combined figures of competing platforms at $13.5 billion. This gap underscores the market's preference for established liquidity and track records.
Meanwhile, the Base ecosystem is witnessing accelerated innovation through strategic partnerships. A major DEX is collaborating with a risk management specialist to scale collateralized asset adoption on Base. This move signals the chain's momentum in attracting institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure and expanding its stablecoin ecosystem capabilities. Such integrations typically lower barriers for users seeking yield opportunities and capital efficiency across the Base network.

Actually, this is just big players eating small players. The head protocol is winning big, and the rest are just supporting roles.

Bro, these numbers are way off. The top players are taking almost 60% of the liquidity? The Matthew Effect is a bit outrageous.

If the leading protocols can bleed users dry, how can retail investors survive...

The main protocol is about eating the meat, while the smaller protocols are just sipping the soup... 21.5B vs 13.5B, such a big gap, it's really not interesting.
Base's move this time is good, combining DEX + risk control, it feels like laying the foundation for institutional-level infrastructure.
