Summary
A jaw-dropping new study reveals $1.6 billion in crypto liquidity is idle in DeFi pools—85% of all tracked concentrated liquidity—earning zero returns because prices have moved beyond set limits. Commissioned by 1inch, the research shows $542 million weekly sits inactive, highlighting a massive inefficiency as DeFi grows. Larger pools over $1 million hold most of this stranded capital, while manual users are more likely to miss adjustments than automated systems. As traditional finance enters crypto, this idle cash threatens to stall fee generation and expose a critical gap in DeFi’s operational design.
