Cardano total value locked continued to decline in the last week of May due to decreased investor interest in dApps and a broad crypto market correction.
Cardano continues to fight for a fair share of the decentralized finance (DeFi) market after the successful Alonzo Hard Fork upgrade in September 2021.
According to Be[In]Crypto research, Cardano has lost $205 million in total value locked since reaching an all-time high TVL of around $326 million on March 24, 2022. This figure fell to $120.86 million on May 26.

The Cardano Foundation, Emurgo, and Input-Output Hong Kong (IOHK) ensure the project stays in line with its purpose as the crypto landscape continues to evolve.
Why the decline in TVL?Cardano TVL sunk to a 2022 low this week due to a drop in the liquidity of protocols housed in its ecosystem.
Decentralized exchange (DEX) MinSwap, for example, has dipped by more than 38% in the last month, while another decentralized trading platform WingRiders has also tumbled by more than 50% in TVL within the same period.
Other DEXs on the chain such as SundaeSwap and MeowSwapFi have lost more than 41% and 56% respectively of their total values locked.
One dApp which also contributed to the fall in TVL was ADAX Pro.
