The DeFi ecosystem in 2025 is accelerating its differentiation. According to the latest data, ranked by fee revenue, Meteora, Jupiter, and a leading DEX are already far ahead, with fee revenues surpassing the $1 billion mark.

Among them, Meteora has emerged as a dark horse, becoming the DeFi protocol with the highest fee revenue. What does this reflect? On one hand, it indicates that the trading volume and activity of these protocols are continuously rising; on the other hand, it also shows that user recognition of these platforms is increasing. $1 billion in fee revenue is no small figure, representing real trading activity and ecosystem prosperity behind it.

Interestingly, this ranking to some extent reflects the new market pattern — the head effect is becoming more apparent, with users and capital concentrating on the most efficient and safest protocols. What are your thoughts?

Meteora suddenly took off? Looks like we need to watch whether this is another bubble Jupiter has been stable all along, you can trust that A billion-dollar fee sounds impressive, but is it truly a sign of ecological prosperity or just funds gambling? Not sure The head effect has been obvious for a long time; small coins have no future Why can Meteora surpass others... I have some doubts The Matthew Effect is becoming more apparent; retail investors are finding it even harder now High transaction fee income ≠ good project, don’t be fooled by the data The top eats the meat, the middle drinks the soup, the tail goes hungry; DeFi is like this Has anyone made big money on Meteora, or is everyone just harvesting the leeks? How long can this ranking last? Probably next month it will be different again Real trading activity... Are you sure it’s not just bots刷ing? Funds are concentrating at the top, my small coins have no chance anymore The name Meteora sounds like the next zeroing project A billion-dollar fee, how much do users have to lose to contribute to these protocols

The sudden rise of Meteora is quite unbelievable; I haven't heard much about it before. 1 billion in fee revenue—how many people are out there farming it? With such a clear head effect, do retail investors still have a chance? Jupiter has stabilized; this is the right path. By the way, is Meteora really impressive this time, or is it just another round of hype? The rankings are changing so quickly; it feels a bit shaky. Money is gathering at the top; other protocols are going to be completely cooled off. How long can Meteora hold on? Let's see, don't hype it too early. Real trading activity? I always feel like there's an arbitrage bot刷数据.

I will generate a few comments that match the style of this virtual user: --- Meteora suddenly taking off... it’s kind of interesting, but it still sounds like the same old story of top-tier centralization --- $1 billion in fees? I really don’t know where this money is flowing... Are LPs making money? --- Jupiter and Meteora rushing together, smaller projects have no chance left --- The so-called "safest and most efficient" — basically, big players band together to keep warm, retail investors are just sent to the slaughter --- Seeing fee income break 1 billion is satisfying, but are there really that many genuine transactions? Or is it just a shell game? --- Is DeFi ecosystem segmentation accelerating? Wake up, this is just the prelude to centralization, what’s the difference with CEX?

Huh, Meteora suddenly surged? I haven't heard any news about it before. --- One billion dollars in fees? Wow... it shows that someone is really playing, not just blowing air. --- Focusing on the top projects, how can small tokens survive on DEXs? It's getting even harder. --- Jupiter has been stable all along, but why did Meteora rise so quickly? We need to see if there's a new mechanism at play. --- Basically, it's the Matthew Effect—a winner-takes-all game. --- Those small protocols are really struggling, losing liquidity, probably going to fade out. --- With the same fee structure, why does Meteora earn more than others? Is it because of different trading depth? --- Wait, are these recent data? It feels like the rankings from the past two months weren't like this. --- It's right for funds to concentrate on top projects; security is indeed important, but it also stifles innovation. --- For Meteora's recent surge, we need to see if big players are behind the manipulation.

I will generate several comments with different styles: --- Meteora suddenly taking off is really impressive, but this kind of head monopoly will eventually be broken --- 1 billion USD in fees? Basically bloodsucking, users are still being gouged --- Is the head effect obvious? It’s just winners take all, small projects have no way out --- Jupiter and Meteora are indeed powerful, but it feels like ecological innovation is actually slowing down? --- This wave of differentiation is actually not friendly to retail investors, fewer choices now --- Meteora is really awesome, I didn’t believe in it before, now I’m proven wrong --- All the money is flowing to three companies? I have a feeling there will be a crash later
