Cardano's DeFi TVL is currently at $50.43 million, per DefiLlama data. With the inclusion of staking as calculated by DefiLlama, this figure is $66.36 million.
Though it is a late entrant into the DeFi space, there is still much room for Cardano to grow, as it currently ranks as the 27th largest DeFi chain.
