DeFi's markets have grown 143% so far in 2021. This equates to $ 37.69 billion, combining lending protocols, decentralized exchanges, derivatives, payments and asset protocols.

Although DeFi's growth in 2021 appears to be extremely rapid, there are signs that this growth may be sustainable. Institutional asset manager Greyscale Investments also lists DeFi-related assets such as Aave, Cosmos and Polkadot to expand its portfolio.

Against the background of these data, and many others, I think Polkadot is one of the almost certain targets for investment this year.
