In 2025, the profit-generating machines of the DeFi ecosystem delivered impressive results. On the fee income leaderboard, Meteora took the lead with an annual revenue of $1.25 billion. Following closely was Jupiter, with revenue reaching $1.11 billion. The third place went to a leading DEX, which also hit $1.06 billion. These three protocols all surpassed the $1 billion mark, indicating that trading volume and user activity remain strong. Differences in fee models and liquidity depth among various protocols are ultimately reflected in the revenue data, which also demonstrates the gradually clarifying competitive landscape of DeFi.

Wait, is Meteora really that strong? After research and analysis, I understand that the key still depends on liquidity depth and fee model design... Jupiter stabilizes the army, and the data indeed shows it hasn't fallen behind. But what I care more about is—who are the capital backers behind these protocols? I hope it's not just another capital pool covertly harvesting.

Is Meteora this awesome? I didn't pay much attention before, looks like I need to copy their homework.

Meteora is truly amazing, taking off directly with 1.25 billion dollars. Jupiter follows closely behind, but not by much. These two are simply cash cows in DeFi.

Meteora is so powerful, with 1.25 billion, Jupiter hasn't fallen too far behind. This pattern is truly stable.

How awesome is Meteora? Why didn't I keep up and miss out on the 1.25 billion feast

Fee model difference of 140 million dollars, this flaw in capital efficiency... need to investigate whether Meteora's fee structure truly hits the optimal solution.
