Decentralized Finance monthly income exceeds $150 million, with top projects占据 80% market share.
Recent studies show that emerging Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols can quickly generate returns after launch. Although most of the protocol's income still flows to the protocol providers, the introduction of innovative mechanisms such as Liquidity Mining has begun to show a downward trend in the proportion of income flowing to providers.
Data shows that in February 2021, DeFi monthly revenue exceeded $150 million, compared to just $500,000 in May 2020. In just nine months, the DeFi industry's revenue achieved an astonishing growth of 300 times, demonstrating immense development potential.
Among numerous DeFi protocols, a well-known decentralized exchange and a lending platform have performed exceptionally well, occupying about 80% of the total revenue in DeFi over the past two months. This data highlights the dominant position of leading projects in the DeFi ecosystem, while also reflecting the strong market demand for high-quality, mature DeFi services.
It is worth noting that a leading decentralized exchange achieved a revenue milestone of $1 billion just 9 months after its launch. Meanwhile, its competitors have also shown strong growth momentum, expected to generate $500 million in revenue, of which approximately $83 million will be directly returned to staking users. This innovative revenue distribution model not only attracts a large number of users to participate but also provides new ideas for the sustainable development of the DeFi ecosystem.
With the rapid development and maturation of the DeFi industry, we can expect more innovative revenue models and distribution mechanisms to continue to emerge. This not only helps attract more users and capital into the DeFi ecosystem but also drives the entire industry towards a more equitable and efficient direction. However, in the face of such rapid growth, investors and participants also need to remain rational, pay attention to potential risks, and ensure the long-term healthy development of the DeFi ecosystem.
