Skyrocketing Total Value Locked: Stablecoin Protocol DYAD Experiences 950% Increase Over Past Month
In the dynamic world of decentralized finance (DeFi), one protocol has stood out from the crowd – DYAD. Over the past month, DYAD has seen its total value locked (TVL) surge to $35 million, its yield increase significantly, and the price of its native token, Kerosene (KERO), skyrocket by approximately 1,000%.
This sudden positive trend in DYAD's ecosystem metrics appears to be linked to a strategic shift and financial growth within the company. According to recent financial reports, DYAD's revenue has increased from $386,000 to $967,000 in Q2 2025, a significant boost that likely contributes to increased confidence and inflows into DYAD's ecosystem.
One of the key factors driving this growth is the enhanced value proposition or product offerings, which have attracted more investors and users to the platform. This typically increases TVL and the token yield. The strong financial growth also signals improving fundamentals and market adoption, a common catalyst for price appreciation in related tokens such as KERO.
While direct data on KERO or DYAD token price movements or protocol-specific updates are not explicitly stated, the financial and strategic progress in DYAD’s business is the clearest available driver of the sudden positive trend in its TVL, yield, and token value.
The surge in DYAD liquidity has also had a direct impact on the price of Kerosene. Kerosene is required to mint DYAD and reduce the collateral ratio. As more DYAD is minted, the demand for Kerosene increases, driving up its price. On August 5, DYAD had $3.3 million locked in its pools. However, on August 29, the platform saw record daily inflows of $6.7 million, primarily due to Wrapped Ethereum (WETH) deposits.
WETH has become the most deposited token on DYAD, accounting for over 53% of the token value deposited on the platform. Users can deposit WETH, along with other tokens, to mint DYAD, which tracks the value of the US dollar. After minting DYAD, users can provide liquidity to the USDC/DYAD pair on Uniswap v3, targeting an annual percentage rate (APR) of over 45%.
Despite the broader DeFi market struggling at the beginning of September, DYAD's TVL has continued to increase. This resilience could be attributed to the platform's unique features, such as its Maker-like collateralized debt position (CDP) model and the ability to mint DYAD with various tokens. As DYAD continues to grow and evolve, it will be interesting to see how it navigates the ever-changing landscape of the DeFi market.
