The skyrocketing amount of BTC being held in DeFi comes as investors continue to flood the sector with liquidity.

On September 2nd, the total value locked in DeFi rose to an all-time high of $9.6 billion. As of writing, the market cap of the entire nascent sector stands at $16.35 billion, according to DeFiMarketCap.

Meanwhile, RenVM continues to make a name for itself among the DeFi crowd as renBTC gains ground against Wrapped BTC (WBTC) on the way to becoming the second most preferred avenue to funnel BTC into Ethereum. The substantial increase highlights that BTC investors are bullish on the sector and are itching to get some skin in the DeFi game.
