According to Odaily Planet Daily, a study by Exponential shows that in the first quarter of 2024, DeFi investors generally value security rather than pursuing high returns. About $43.8 billion (76% of the DeFi yield market) seeks to obtain about 5% APY in extremely low-risk contracts. Data shows that about $10 billion (18% of TVL) is in low-risk contracts and $3.4 billion (6% of TVL) is in high-risk contracts. In addition, the results also show that users have regained interest in DeFi, and its TVL has surged from $26.5 billion in the third quarter of 2023 to $59.7 billion in the first quarter of 2024.
