How is this category defined?

Lending, trading and yield protocols that run without an intermediary. Membership is taken from CoinGecko's own category data rather than assigned by us, so a coin appears here if its issuer or CoinGecko classifies it that way. We track 162 of them, filtered to exclude stablecoins and wrapped or staked derivatives, which would otherwise distort every average on this page.
