  At BYDFi, we have observed that the price of Bitcoin has a strong correlation with the TVL in DeFi protocols. When the price of Bitcoin experiences a significant increase, we often see a surge in the TVL as more users flock to DeFi platforms to take advantage of the bullish market. This influx of capital leads to a higher TVL and increased liquidity in the DeFi ecosystem. Conversely, when the price of Bitcoin drops, we may observe a decrease in the TVL as users become more cautious and may withdraw their assets from DeFi protocols. It's important to note that while the price of Bitcoin is a crucial factor, other market dynamics and factors also influence the TVL in DeFi protocols. However, the price of Bitcoin remains a key driver of TVL fluctuations in the DeFi space.
