Promote with Leviathan NewsBinance Research says April DeFi exploits pulled roughly $13B out of TVL, mechanically pushing onchain leverage to ~38%, a level last seen in 2021. The ugly part is that the ratio is not flashing new borrowing demand; it is mostly denominator shrinkage, and the market pullback still has not forced meaningful deleveraging.
