Despite the huge sums of BTC and ETH recently absorbed by DeFi, locked Bitcoin and Ether currently represents less than half of the total value locked, or TVL, in the sector — together comprising 44.6% of the sector’s $11.33 billion.

The dominance of BTC and ETH in defi programs may likely hold for long span of time as the breakthrough of the Covid-19 pandemic which has seen wide subscriptions from idle funds in the hands of people looking for a way out of the lockdown. Defi has come to stay and a lot of improvement also saw to the dynamic use of Bitcoin by introducing Wrapped Bitcoin which enables BTC to be issued and deployed on the Ethereum smart contract. The 7.6% of the total Ether market supply values would see more increase as soon as Ethereum 2.0 version is released in November 2020 as promised to bring transaction values to the nearest minimum. When this new version is successfully launched and the fees go down as planned, the resulting effects shall see more millions of crypto lovers locking their funds in Defi and this can only take Defi to another level of preference among all investment opportunities out there. I can just summarize that the reign of BTC and ETH in Defi has just begun!

estimating when BTC AND ETH will surpass the total locked volume in the DEFI for me is really not possible, because right now the market is really unstable and new updates are kicking in steadily in the crypto world, though i believe it wont be too long for that to happen, am talking about BTC and ETH overtaking the total locked volume
