rsk bridge added $9.18b in tvl this week, a 9416% jump to $98M. that's a canonical bridge on bitcoin and ethereum. lido followed with $1.95b, up 12.2% to $16.0B. binance cex added $1.94b, a 1.4% bump to $136.0B. aave v3 pulled $887.5M, up 7.0% to $12.7B. ssv network rounded out the top with $846.9M, a 9.9% gain to $8.6B.
on the other side, spark liquidity layer shed $225.5M, down 12.8% to $1.8B. uniswap v4 lost $162.8M, a 20.5% drop to $794M. xstocks bled $143.3M, down 44.5% to $322M. function fbtc bridge lost $91.1M, down 17.1% to $534M. avalon usda cdp dropped $75.7M, a 36.8% decline to $206M.
the rsk bridge number is the one that makes you squint. a 9416% weekly gain on a canonical bridge suggests a single large deposit event, not organic user growth. if it's a whale bridging in to deploy capital, the tvl sticks. if it's a one time arbitrage or test flow, it reverses just as fast. the falsifiable bit: rsk tvl holds above $80M through next week only if that capital finds productive yield on the bitcoin side. a drop back below $50M means it was transient.
