TOP 5 TOKEN-BACKED REVENUE-GENERATING ONCHAIN APPS OF 2025 💰 |
You know the drill! |
Increased revenue = increased use. Follow the revenue → find winning tokens. |
So without further ado – here are 2025’s top 5 revenue-generating onchain apps, with tokens you can buy: |
|
Couple notes here… |
First: Defi Llama (which we’ve used for previous revenue rankings) was giving us some wonky data, so we switched to a mix of Artemis and Blockworks Research data. Second: the revenue data we’re tracking cuts off at Dec 10 2025, so the data is directionally representative, but not fully complete (don’t yell at us!).
|
Alright, here’s the breakdown: |
1. Hyperliquid (HYPE): King of the Perp DEX space |
|
2. PumpFun (PUMP): Lord of the launchpads |
|
3. Sky (SKY): The Yahweh of yield |
|
4. Aerodrome (AERO): Guardians of the Base DEX galaxy |
|
5. Jupiter (JUP): Emperor of the Solana DEX realm |
|
Alright, now – let’s put a bow on this thing by ranking each of these revenue kings by token value growth (opening price, to peak) in 2025… |
|
Now it’s your turn to yap: |
Which token are you most bullish on? |
|
|
| | Stablecoins are arguably the biggest use case in crypto right now. | But let’s be real, using them onchain is still way too complex. | That’s exactly the problem Bridge is solving. | Recently acquired by Stripe (yep, that Stripe), Bridge helps businesses send, store, accept, and launch their own stablecoins instantly. | Here are the three facts about Bridge: | Users can seamlessly transition between fiat and stablecoins Businesses can launch a custom stablecoin in as little as one day All Bridge-built stablecoins are interoperable with one another

CRYPTO VS. TRADFI 2025 RESULTS |
1 chart, 4 assets, and ~12 months of data. |
The question we’re looking to answer: Who won 2025 – crypto, or traditional assets? |
So let’s just have a loo–aaaand we’re screwed. |
|
Oof! Traditional assets mopped the floor with crypto this year: |
Gold +62.5% S&P 500 +18.2% ETH +4.5% BTC +3.9%
|
With that, we would like to formally congratulate renowned Gold bug, Peter Schiff. |
This year’s win was well earned. |
… and boy did you need it. It’s been a rough 10yrs for Gold and the S&P compared to crypto: |
|
For those who are sans-reading glasses, the 10yr results are: |
ETH +329,400% BTC +20,800% S&P 500 +302.4% Gold +280.5%
|
Brb, channeling my inner sense of patience. 🧘♂️ |
