How much capital is forming, and how fast

TVL across AltStreet's tracked on-chain private credit protocols (Goldfinch, Maple), from DefiLlama. Centrifuge dropped out of this series on 2026-09-15 when DefiLlama stopped publishing TVL history for protocols it categorises as RWA; its history to that date is retained. Capital formation on-chain is observable directly; there is no filing to count.

METHODOLOGY

TVL-weighted APY across AltStreet's tracked on-chain private credit protocols (pools of at least $1,000,000 TVL with a reported APY), less the AltStreet Large-Pool Stablecoin Yield Median for the same date, expressed in basis points. Both legs are protocol-reported yields aggregated by DefiLlama, not audited realized returns — the spread is compensation for undercollateralized borrower risk as advertised, not as earned. The qualifying universe is highly concentrated: on 2026-08-15 it comprised four pools across two protocols with the largest protocol carrying roughly 99% of the weight, so per-protocol weights and a Herfindahl figure are written into every print and must be cited alongside the spread. The spread is not computed when the benchmark leg is more than three days stale. Coverage is AltStreet's tracked on-chain private credit universe, not all on-chain credit.
