PANews reported on April 28th that, according to The Block, the DeFi United rescue operation has raised over 132,000 ETH (worth over $300 million). Consensys and its founder, Joseph Lubin, had previously confirmed a donation of 30,000 ETH, making it one of the largest donations in the operation. Circle Ventures stated that it is purchasing AAVE tokens to support DeFi United. Aave stated that these contributions are crucial to restoring rsETH collateral support and normal market conditions; without this support, the recovery process would not be able to proceed smoothly. Previously, Aave service providers proposed contributing 25,000 ETH (approximately $58 million) from their DAO, Lido DAO proposed 2,500 ETH, Ether.fi proposed 5,000 ETH, and Kelp pledged 2,000 ETH. The total value locked in DeFi is currently around $82 billion, a decrease of over 25% from $110 billion at the beginning of the year.
