Decentralized finance on the Solana blockchain has witnessed a resurgence, with the total value locked surpassing the $2 billion threshold. 
According to data from <a href="https://defillama.com/chain/Solana?currency=USD" data-type="link" data-id="https://defillama.com/chain/Solana?currency=USD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DefiLlama</a>, the current value locked in def applications on <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/solana/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/solana/">Solana</a> is reported to be $2.028 billion, a figure last seen in June 2022.

This marks a notable recovery from December’s starting point of below $1 billion. Despite this growth, Solana’s <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/defi/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/defi/">defi</a> sector is still far from its peak during the 2021 bull run, when the total value locked exceeded $10 billion. 
The leading defi projects on the platform are Marinade and Jito, both focusing on staking assets and reward mechanisms. 
Solana, known for its high transaction speed and low costs, is gaining traction against its competitor, Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/">ETH</a>), by attracting many defi applications and projects. 
The blockchain, which supports the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, <a href="https://crypto.news/price/solana/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/solana/">SOL</a>, has seen increased investor interest and adoption by major brands like <a href="https://crypto.news/visa-tests-usdc-settlement-payments-on-solana-blockchain/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/visa-tests-usdc-settlement-payments-on-solana-blockchain/">Visa</a> and <a href="https://crypto.news/solana-pay-partners-with-shopify-to-enable-usdc-payments/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/solana-pay-partners-with-shopify-to-enable-usdc-payments/">Shopify</a>. 
Contrary to expectations of a decline due to its association with the now-defunct crypto exchange <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/ftx/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/ftx/">FTX</a> and its controversial founder, <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/sam-bankman-fried/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/sam-bankman-fried/">Sam Bankman-Fried</a>, Solana has seen its ecosystem thrive and its cryptocurrency’s price rally towards the end of 2023. 
However, SOL’s price has recently experienced a 6% decrease over the past 24 hours, now at $106.79.
