DeFi Lending and DEX Fees Plummet Over 50% Weekly Amid Leveraged Liquidations
2026-06-17 10:43

Data compiled by Woofun AI shows that fees for major DeFi lending protocols and decentralized exchanges have retreated sharply following the early June market correction. Over the past seven days, Aave V3 fees declined by 60% to $6.72 million, while Morpho Blue and Maple Finance saw drops of 60% and 59% to $3.27 million and $1.25 million, respectively. On the exchange side, Uniswap V3 fees fell 57% to $3.74 million, and Curve fees decreased by 65% to $891,000.

Concurrently, a broader 30-day perspective reveals sustained growth, with Morpho Blue up 23%, Maple up 49%, Uniswap V3 up 27%, and Curve up 71%. This divergence suggests that the recent weekly fee contraction is primarily driven by the unwinding of leveraged positions, reflecting short-term volatility rather than a fundamental erosion in on-chain lending and trading demand.
