Decentralized Finance income surged, monthly breakthrough of 150 million USD, leading projects dominate the landscape.
Recent data shows that emerging Decentralized Finance protocols are demonstrating amazing yield capabilities, even generating considerable income shortly after their launch. Although the majority of the protocol's yields still flow to liquidity providers, the introduction of innovative mechanisms such as Liquidity Mining is leading to a downward trend in the proportion of income allocated to providers.
In February of this year, the monthly revenue of the DeFi sector has exceeded $150 million, a significant leap compared to $500,000 in May of last year. This growth trend highlights the booming development and immense potential of the DeFi field.
Among the many DeFi protocols, the most outstanding are several major decentralized trading platforms and lending protocols. These leading projects contributed about 80% of the revenue of the entire DeFi ecosystem in the past two months, demonstrating a strong market dominance.
It is particularly noteworthy that a well-known decentralized exchange achieved a revenue milestone of 1 billion USD just 9 months after its launch. Meanwhile, its derivative projects have also performed well, expected to generate an additional 500 million USD in revenue, of which approximately 83 million USD will be directly allocated to stakers, reflecting the innovative model of revenue distribution in DeFi protocols.
These data not only reflect the rapid growth of the DeFi market but also highlight the tremendous potential of decentralized finance models in terms of efficiency and returns. With the emergence of more innovative protocols and the ongoing optimization of existing projects, the DeFi sector is expected to continue its rapid development, bringing more opportunities to participants.
