$1.6 billion in crypto liquidity is going to waste

A Dune Analytics study commissioned by 1inch found that around $1.6 billion in liquidity across major DeFi protocols remained underutilized during the first half of 2026, with roughly $542 million sitting completely out of active trading ranges each week. The idle capital is estimated to forgo nearly $150 million in annual fees, highlighting inefficiencies in concentrated liquidity models.
