[Lens]

I came across a news on cardano and it was clearly explained that the cardano network have more funds locked in it. The estimated funds that was locked was about $224 million and more than $65 million was locked in the last 7 days.
What is the meaning of locked funds in cryptocurrency?

The locked cryptocurrencies are the cryptocurrencies that are not in circulation all the ones that are not traded but kept.
