# WalletConnect Powers DeFi: Billions Flowing Through Aave, Spark.fi, Hyperliquid and Beyond

**DeFi is growing, and WalletConnect is the engine behind it.**

With **$400 billion in annual Total Network Volume (TNV) expected in 2025**, WalletConnect is not just a connectivity layer; it is the infrastructure quietly powering billions in DeFi every day. Protocols like **Aave, [Spark.fi](http://spark.fi/), and Hyperliquid** are leveraging WalletConnect to route value, enable secure connections, and scale global access to decentralized finance for both users and institutions.

### Billions Flowing into DeFi

Out of WalletConnect’s $400B+ annual TNV:

- Leading DeFi protocols, including **Aave and [Spark.fi](http://spark.fi/)**, account for a share of this adoption.
- Millions of users as well as institutions are connecting through WalletConnect to borrow, lend, swap, and trade securely.

DeFi protocols thrive on liquidity and connectivity. WalletConnect delivers both by ensuring **universal wallet-to-app access across 70K+ apps and 700+ wallets**. Every user and institutional connection is end-to-end encrypted, creating trust at scale without custody risk.

- **Institutional-grade**: Trusted by global enterprises, custodians, and institutions entering the onchain economy.
