Most concentrated DeFi liquidity remains underutilized, study finds

A Dune analysis commissioned by 1inch estimates concentrated DeFi liquidity is underused 85% of the time, with about $150 million in annual fees forgone.

Reported · Written up by our desk · DeFi

Dune research commissioned by 1inch found that most concentrated liquidity in decentralized finance is not being used as intended.

The study estimates that 85% of concentrated DeFi liquidity is underutilized, meaning it sits idle rather than capturing trading activity.

It also calculated that this underuse translates into roughly $150 million in annual fees foregone for the DeFi ecosystem.
