TREE NEWS reports: Kraken’s Ink network, live since Dec. 18, 2024 and built on OP Stack, holds about $211 million in DeFi total value locked and $173 million in stablecoin market cap, with lending protocol Tydro at $141 million and perpetuals DEX Nado at $54.37 million. Kraken listed wrapped HYPE token kHYPE on Ink and plans a Hyperliquid-based perpetuals market for US users. Ink’s active RWA assets total roughly $22.29 million, led by tokenized credit fund ACRED at $11.1 million.
Kraken’s Ink Chain Tops $211M in DeFi TVL as Ecosystem Expands
Ink's composition is the story: a single lending protocol and one perp DEX account for nearly all of its DeFi value, so the chain's headline TVL rests on a narrow base rather than broad activity. The RWA figure, though small, is the more distinctive signal, since ACRED shows Kraken routing tokenized credit through its own venue rather than relying purely on trading demand. Whether that RWA share deepens or the lending concentration persists is the open question worth watching.
