Decentralized finance platforms proved resilient during last week’s tariff-driven sell-off. Aave liquidated roughly $180 million in collateral within an hour without downtime, while Hyperliquid reported zero latency, thanks to its HyperBFT consensus system.

Ethereum-based Uniswap handled an estimated $9 billion in daily trading volume seamlessly, and Solana’s Kamino Finance confirmed zero bad debt while processing up to 10,000 transactions per second. Experts say this highlights DeFi’s ability to operate reliably under extreme stress, contrasting with the struggles of traditional exchanges.
