Recent data showed a significant historical increase in <a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/search/bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin’s [BTC]</a> Total Value Locked (TVL). This was despite the network not being a traditional Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform. 
Additionally, there has been a recent rise in its Non-Fungible Token (NFT) volume, a sector not originally linked to the network.
<h4>Bitcoin TVL sees historic rise&nbsp;</h4>
Recent data from <a href="https://twitter.com/CryptoRank_io/status/1732757162852499642?t=I5sMgacSYxOV9e8gK0lK3w&amp;s=19" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Crypto Rank</a> showed that <a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/bitcoin-as-50k-predictions-run-wild-what-do-price-indicators-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> has reached an all-time high in its Total Value Locked (TVL), currently at around $315 million. 
This achievement comes despite Bitcoin’s non-traditional role as a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform. Also, the previous record was set in November 2021.
Furthermore, the network’s success in this regard can be attributed to its unique approach. Although Bitcoin lacks support for smart contracts, developers are strategically utilizing the base layer as a settlement layer. 
By shifting complex use cases to higher layers, they aim to enhance functionality without compromising scalability or security. This strategy has given rise to various protocols with locked assets, contributing significantly to the increased TVL.
Also, the positive price trends experienced by <a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/bitcoin-price-rises-141-in-2023-what-it-means-for-btcs-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a> have further increased the TVL.&nbsp;
<h4>BTC price trend&nbsp;</h4>
Until recently, <a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/bitcoin-as-50k-predictions-run-wild-what-do-price-indicators-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> had been on an impressive uptrend, reaching new highs. However, in the last 48 hours, this rise has temporarily halted, marked by slight declines in value. 
As of this writing, BTC was trading with a less than 1% fall in price following several days of consecutive falls.

Notably, despite these declines, the price has managed to sustain itself within the $43,000 range. The earlier rise in BTC’s price also had a notable effect on the value of locked BTCs. This has played a significant role in the observed increase in Total Value Locked (TVL).&nbsp;
<h4>Bitcoin NFT volume maintains top three standings</h4>
<a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/bitcoin-brc20-token-crosses-1-billion-market-cap-whats-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> has experienced a notable surge in volume in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) sales, marking another historical development. Similar to Decentralized Finance (DeFi), NFTs were not originally supported by the network’s architecture. 
However, developers have devised a method to create NFTs on the network through inscriptions.

As of this writing, Bitcoin is the third-largest network in NFT trade volume. 
According to data from <a href="https://www.cryptoslam.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Crypto Slam</a>, the NFT volume has reached around $10 million in the last 24 hours. With this position, Bitcoin was closely behind networks such as <a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/search/ethereum" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> and <a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/search/solana" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a>.
