Revenue vs Market Cap 👀
I came across an interesting comparison between Meteorа ($MET) and Raydium ($RAY).
According to the figures shown in the screenshot:
🔹 $MET
* Revenue: $87.88M
* Gross profit: $17.63M
* Market Cap: ~$187M
That puts revenue at roughly 47% of its current market cap.
🔹 $RAY
* Revenue: $14.19M
* Market Cap: ~$1.02B
Here, revenue is only around 1.4% of market cap.
What caught my attention isn’t simply that one is “cheap” and the other is “expensive”.
It’s the huge difference between market valuation and actual protocol revenue.
Of course, revenue alone doesn’t automatically mean a token is undervalued. We still need to look at things like:
* how sustainable the revenue is
* how much value actually accrues to the token
* token unlocks and dilution
* treasury / team holdings
* future growth
* whether the revenue numbers are comparable in terms of time period and methodology
But personally, I think Revenue/Market Cap is a metric worth watching, especially when comparing DeFi projects.
Sometimes the market is pricing the future, while the revenue is telling us what the protocol is doing right now.
Would you rather buy a project with higher current revenue but a smaller market cap, or pay a much higher valuation for an established protocol?
