October 18 Protocol Revenue Daily Report Reporting period: 24 hours | Only includes tokens tradable on Binance No.1 $PUMP Pump | $1.64 million No.2 $HYPE Hyperliquid | $1.30 million No.3 $SKY Sky | $451,000 No.4 WLFI World Liberty Financial | $384,000 No.5 AAVE Aave | $149,000 No.1: Pump ($PUMP ) Combined total for the top five: $3.93 million $PUMP current price: 0.004325 (-5.77%) Revenue reflects fundamentals; price reflects expectations. They should be viewed separately. This kind of data can be viewed alongside TVL and trading volume: TVL shows how much money is locked, trading volume indicates how active the market is, and revenue shows whether it can make money. To assess revenue quality, you can also look at active addresses and retention: revenue is generally more sustainable when the user base keeps growing.
Besides price changes, you should also look at trading volume and open interest. For example, this item: Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley see tokenization as a growth opportunity, but none provided revenue forecasts. $BTC 24h -0.064%, trading volume: 565 million. This is fairly neutral and doesn't really affect the plan—just good to know.
Keep these points about transaction finality in mind: 1) Chains based on Tendermint (CometBFT) consensus, such as Cosmos Hub, are final as soon as a block is committed; there’s no need to wait for subsequent blocks. 2) Ethereum blocks typically become “finalized” after two epochs (about 12.8 minutes). 3) When receiving a large payment, wait for enough confirmations or for finalization before shipping. Don’t rely solely on seeing that it’s “on-chain.” On Ethereum, the $ETH staked is the guarantee of finality: overturning a finalized block would result in the loss of a large amount of stake. Currently 2397.78.
Data alert: $SAND funding rate -0.697% — shorts are paying. I usually look at two things when assessing funding rates: how extreme they are and how long they’ve persisted. The longer they persist, the more attention they deserve. What signals do you usually wait for before taking action?

A popular post on the Square today about $ETH : over 10,000 views, 10 comments, and a somewhat pessimistic tone. The post claims that “the odds of a Fed rate hike in October have fallen to 17%”—just one person’s opinion. $ETH is currently at 2428.5 (24h -0.74%).
24-hour protocol revenue TOP 5 (only protocols with tokens tradable on Binance): 1. $HYPE Hyperliquid|$2.42 million 2. $PUMP Pump|$2.04 million 3. $SKY Sky|$451,000 4. WLFI World Liberty Financial|$387,000 5. UNI Uniswap|$292,000
Let’s do the math: the five protocols brought in a combined $5.59 million, with Hyperliquid alone accounting for $2.42 million. I’m saving this ranking to compare against in a few days. Whether the rankings hold steady is more informative than a single day’s figures. One thought to keep in mind: if a protocol keeps moving up the rankings while its token barely moves, that’s a clue worth investigating—and vice versa. While we’re at it, let’s look at market share: within the same sector, a growing revenue share often indicates that trading volume is shifting toward that protocol. Like this if you agree.
$ETH 2422.39, 24h -0.74%, trading volume 668 million Background: Whales on Hyperliquid hold $8.232 billion, with a long/short ratio of 0.87 Data shows that reactions to similar news may not always be the same, so don’t blindly extrapolate from the past.
Over the past 4 hours, Binance futures liquidations totaled approximately $7.4 million. Long positions accounted for 44.8%. The largest liquidation was $ETH ($1.11 million). Where does this figure come from? The higher the leverage, the closer the liquidation price is to the entry price: it doesn’t take much of a price move for a position to be liquidated. Price levels where liquidations cluster are often viewed afterward as potential short-term support or resistance, but whether they actually hold depends on subsequent trading activity. Understanding an indicator helps you avoid being misled by numbers; it’s not a tool for predicting tops and bottoms.
