DeFi tokens may perform well in the second half of 2025, according to Golden Finance. The company’s DeFi Index (KSDEFI) has surpassed Ethereum (ETH) since its launch in October 2023, with a return of approximately 75% during this period, and the index consists of 11 DeFi tokens with the highest weighted ones UNI, AAVE and ONDO. At least four of these tokens have a strong tailwind advantage for the rest of the year, the report said. “This outstanding performance could continue into the second half of 2025 as several assets in the index benefit from a strong tailwind. This trend highlights the decline in the correlation between the DeFi index and ETH over time as the decentralized finance sector continues to expand outside the Ethereum ecosystem,” the report said.
