New research by @dune and @1inch tracked concentrated liquidity on Uniswap, PancakeSwap and Aerodrome across 7 chains for 26 weeks.
85% of DeFi liquidity is underutilized at any one time i.e up to $1.6B doing nothing.
➥ ~$600M is fully idle and out of range
➥ LPs in those positions are missing ~$175–195M in fees every year
On average, 29.5% of concentrated capital stayed out of range across the whole period. Even the highest-turnover concentrated pools still leave massive TVL stagnant, while the vast majority of stablecoin supply never enters DeFi yield pools at all. This isn’t a temporary issue, it’s like a structural problem now.
The good news is 1inch is building a fix to solve this.
