Decentralized finance (DeFi) is driving the crypto market's upward move for the second time in a week, with the DeFi Select Index (DFX) gaining 5.0% since midnight UTC. Lending protocol token Aave (AAVE) leads the charge, surging 11% on speculation over a token burn. This rally occurs despite challenging macro conditions, including the 10-year US Treasury yield sitting at 5.234% (near 2007 levels) and the 30-year yield at 5.549% (around a 2004 high), which have suppressed other risk assets like US stocks.
