Velodrome Finance’s token consolidation continued, reflecting the broader price action seen in Bitcoin and other altcoins.

Velodrome (VELO) was trading at $0.065, a level it has maintained since Aug. 6, giving it a market cap of over $90 million. At its peak in March, Velodrome had a valuation of over $200 million.

Velodrome, the third-largest decentralized exchange on the Optimism (OP) network, has faced significant challenges in recent months. Data shows that the total value locked in its ecosystem has dropped from $322 million in April 2023 to $85 million. Additionlly, according to DeFi Llama, its total volume in the past seven days has decreased by over 34% to $197 million.

This decline in volume aligns with trends seen across other DEX protocols, which have experienced reduced activity following the crypto Black Monday on Aug. 5. The total volume handled by DEX protocols in August was $111 billion, down from $190 billion in July.

Typically, DEX and centralized platforms see increased volume when cryptocurrencies are rising, as rallies attract more investors and traders. For instance, Coinbase’s revenue surged by 72% in Q1, reaching $1.6 billion as Bitcoin hit record highs.
