Although momentum remains relatively slow, Shibarium is finally showing signs that something big is coming in its DeFi world.
Boost to Shibarium DeFi
By According to data from DeFiLlama, Shibarium DeFi currently has a total value locked (TVL) of $4.37 million. This comes after this metric crossed the all-time high (ATH) of $4.81 million.
