Tether led crypto protocol revenue in 2025 with approximately $5.2 billion, accounting for 41.9% of total revenue across 168 revenue-generating protocols, according to CoinGecko Research.

Summary
  • Tether led all crypto protocols in 2025 with $5.2B, or 41.9% of total revenue.
  • Four stablecoin issuers generated nearly $8.3B, dominating protocol earnings.
  • Trading platform revenue proved volatile, while stablecoins stayed resilient.

Stablecoin issuers dominated the rankings, with just four entities generating 65.7% or roughly $8.3 billion of total protocol revenue.

Tron ranked second among blockchains with approximately $3.5 billion in revenue, driven by its role as the preferred network for USDT transactions.

The remaining six protocols in the top 10 were trading platforms, whose revenue proved highly dependent on market conditions.

The data comes from CoinGecko’s 2025 Annual Crypto Industry Report tracking the crypto market’s first annual downturn since 2022.

Trading protocol revenue fluctuates with market cycles

Trading protocols experienced extreme volatility tied to market sentiment and meme coin speculation.

Phantom generated $35.2 million in revenue during January at the peak of the Solana meme coin frenzy. Revenue collapsed to $8.5 million by December as interest in meme coins dried up.

The pattern repeated across trading platforms. Revenue performed well in Q1 but fell sharply when markets turned bearish following October’s historic $19 billion liquidation event.

Monthly protocol revenue fluctuated between approximately $3 billion and $3.5 billion throughout most of 2025.

Stablecoin market capitalization surged 48.9% annually, adding $102.1 billion to reach a record $311.0 billion. The growth provided steady revenue streams for issuers regardless of volatile crypto asset prices.

PayPal’s PYUSD emerged as the fifth-largest stablecoin, surging 48.4% to reach $3.6 billion market cap through YouTube creator payouts and 4.25% yield via Spark Savings Vault.

Tron captures USDT transaction network effects

Tron’s $3.5 billion in blockchain revenue stems from high network usage as the preferred chain for USDT transactions.

Circle, Ethena, and MoonTrade joined Tether among the top four stablecoin issuers generating combined revenue of $8.3 billion.

Total crypto market capitalization ended 2025 at $3.0 trillion, down 10.4% year-over-year in the first annual decline since 2022.

Despite price contraction, average daily trading volumes hit a yearly high of $161.8 billion in Q4, driven by October’s liquidation event and subsequent volatility.

Digital Asset Treasury Companies deployed at least $49.7 billion in 2025 to acquire over 5% of total BTC and ETH supply.

However, Q4 deployment slowed to $5.8 billion as falling crypto prices dragged down DATCo share prices, forcing buybacks rather than continued accumulation.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…

Pictures Key Facts “One Battle After Another” boasts a nearly perfect 97 out of a possible 100 on Metacritic based on its first 31 reviews, making it the highest-rated movie of this decade on Metacritic’s best movies of all time list. The movie also has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on the first 56 reviews, with only two reviews considered “rotten,” or negative. The Associated Press hailed the movie as “an American masterpiece,” noting the movie touches on topical political themes and depicts a society where “gun violence, white power and immigrant deportations recur in an ongoing dance, both farcical and tragic.” The movie stars DiCaprio as an ex-revolutionary who reunites with former accomplices to rescue his 16-year-old daughter when she goes missing, and Anderson has said the movie was inspired by the 1990 novel, “Vineland.” Most critics have described the movie as an action thriller with notable chase scenes, which jumps in time from DiCaprio’s character’s early days with fictional revolutionary group, the French 75, to about 15 years later, when he is pursued by foe and military leader Captain Steven Lockjaw, played by Sean Penn. The Warner Bros.-produced film was made on a big budget, estimated to be between $130 million and $175 million, and co-stars Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor.
