Maple Finance’s SYRUP token rose 14% in the past day as the protocol posted stronger earnings and total value locked (TVL), a measure of capital deposited in a protocol. Monthly gross profit reached roughly $1.13 million, the highest level since April 2026, although it remained below April’s $1.32 million. TVL crossed $3 billion for the second time this year, reaching $3.07 billion on Aug. 25 before easing to $2.97 billion. In the derivatives market, open interest in SYRUP perpetual contracts (futures without an expiry date) rose 26% to $29 million. The positive 0.0077% open-interest-weighted funding rate indicated that most traders were positioned long. Investor attention also strengthened, with mindshare rising 20% to 1,490 mentions and the market sentiment score reaching 5.84 on a scale from -10 to 10. The source’s final assessment links SYRUP’s rally to higher protocol profit, elevated TVL, increased derivatives positioning and stronger bullish sentiment.
