Minswap’s (MIN) TVLย rose by 22% over the last seven days and 13% over the last 24 hours. The last notable fund inflow to the protocol was on Dec. 27, 2022, when over $615,000 was deposited. However, since Jan. 1, the protocol has seen over $2 million in outflows.
The DEX native token MIN also reacted positively to the increased TVL โ rising by over 15% over the last 24 hours to $0.01401.
ADA rallies
In light of the TVL jump, Cardano’s native token ADA was one of the best-performing digital assets amid a general market uptrend over the last 24 hours โ increasing by over 15%.
ADA rose to as high as $0.34 before retracing to its current level of $0.32 as of press time, according to CryptoSlate data.
