CRYPTO REVENUE SURGE: Who’s Winning in DeFi Right Now

DeFi Revenue Rebounds Sharply

• Monthly DeFi fees hit $577M in June, up XX% from April’s low of $366M
• Indicates strong recovery in onchain activity and user engagement

What’s Driving It

• PancakeSwap ( $CAKE ): $275M in fees from 0.17%–0.25% per trade
• PumpDotfun: Over $75M earned in June alone
• Lending protocols ( $AAVE & $MKR ): Generated $100M from interest and liquidations

Sector Trends: Winners & Losers

• Top Revenue Performers: Stablecoin issuers & DEXs
• Biggest Growth MoM:
– DEX Aggregators: +298%
– Lending protocols: +57%
• Declining Segments: Trading apps, bots, and launchpads

DeFi is resurging fast, driven by core protocols and real usage. DEXs, aggregators, and lending markets are leading onchain fee generation across DeFi, signaling strong fundamentals beneath the hype.
