TVL tripled from ~$500M to ~$1.7B between end of 2024 and early Q2 2026. Over 100 DAOs launched on the platform by end of 2024. However, only ~50,000 holders suggests high concentration risk with capital flows growing faster than user growth. DEXE token remains down ~63% from its March 2021 ATH of $33.54. No major security incidents or regulatory actions found. Limited independent media coverage relative to its TVL. Treasury growth has significantly outpaced token price appreciation.","timeline":[{"date":"2024-10-01","event":"Protocol security review completed","source":"coinmarketcap.com","source_url":"https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/dexe/latest-updates/"},{"date":"2024-12-01","event":"New staking module added to protocol; 100+ DAOs launched on DeXe","source":"coinmarketcap.com","source_url":"https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/dexe/latest-updates/"},{"date":"2026-04-10","event":"DEXE surges 23% to $9.88 with 126% monthly gain","source":"coinmarketcap.com","source_url":"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dexe/"}]},"v":1}
