24-hour DeFi revenue leaderboard (only protocols whose tokens can be traded on Binance):
· $HYPE Hyperliquid|$2.03 million
· $PUMP Pump|$1.25 million
· $SKY Sky|$533,000
· WLFI World Liberty Financial|$311,000
· AERO Aero|$288,000
After looking at this, I had an epiphany: the most reliable source of income in this space seems to be the fees we pay. The top-ranked $HYPE Hyperliquid took in $2.03 million, and I probably contributed a tiny bit of that.
I gave it some serious thought: if the fees we pay were ranked too, I’d probably make it near the top—too bad this leaderboard only counts fees collected, not fees paid.
But I found a way to comfort myself: the higher a protocol’s revenue, the more often I must be using it, which means I’m basically helping build DeFi’s fundamentals too.
