The quarterly report by crypto analytics firm Messari reveals that Flow delivered its strongest quarter yet in Q2 2025, with total value locked (TVL) soaring 46.3% quarter-over-quarter to a record US$68.0 million (AU$104.77 million).
This surge was powered by booming stablecoin activity, expanding liquid staking, and a tidal wave of developer engagement – marking Flow’s evolution from an NFT‑and‑gaming niche into a robust DeFi and TradFi convergence platform that now hosts major brands like Disney, the NBA and even Ticketmaster.
Stablecoins and Developer Activity Drive DeFi Expansion
Interestingly, the TVL spike was due to PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD (also listed as USDF on Flow). PYUSD supply on the network jumped an extraordinary 211.9% QoQ to US$26.2 million (AU$40.37 million), making it the largest stablecoin by supply on Flow.

This influx of stable assets highlights Flow’s growing appeal to users looking for regulated, stable-value exposure in crypto-native infrastructure.
Simultaneously, developer activity exploded. Smart contract deployments surged 473% QoQ, with April alone witnessing 45,239 deployments – Flow’s busiest month since October 2024. This sharp increase reflects growing confidence from builders choosing Flow as their foundation for the next generation of Web3 and hybrid financial applications.
Mainstream Onboarding via Consumer Brand Partnerships
Beyond DeFi metrics, Messari highlights how Flow is bridging traditional finance and mainstream media. The Disney Pinnacle partnership with Disney+ delivered digital pin collectibles to over 50 million subscribers, one of Web3’s largest onboarding efforts to date.
Alongside other household names – like the NBA, NFL, and Ticketmaster – Flow continues to establish itself as a consumer-first blockchain, blending household brands with emerging financial tools.
Notably, average daily transactions on Flow EVM skyrocketed 602% following the integration of LayerZero, climbing to 40.1k—up from just 5.7k pre-integration. This uptick signals cross-chain demand and real-time utility ramping across Flow’s ecosystem.
Flow, a popular layer-1 blockchain, is the 105th largest crypto and has not seen a new all-time high since 2021. During the last bull-run it managed to hit US$46.16 (AU$71.21). It is now down 99% since and currently trades just at US$0.42 (AU$0.62).
