A lot of folks keep asking:
👉 Are there projects in the crypto space that earn a daily profit of $100 million?
The answer is simple:
Of course there are: Binance, Tether USDT... plenty to choose from.
What truly matters isn't how much you make on any given day,
But rather—who holds the long-term money-making machine.
🥇 Top tier: Stablecoins (the real money printers)
Represented by:
Tether (USDT)
Circle (USDC)
Profit logic:
You hand over USD to me → I buy US Treasuries → I pocket the interest
Core features:
Low risk
Stable cash flow
Almost unlimited scalability
👉 In a nutshell:
Stablecoins = turning all market cash into your own yield-generating assets
🥈 Second tier: Exchanges (the more volatile, the more they earn)
Represents:
Binance
OKX
Bybit
Money-making logic:
Transaction fees (spot + contracts)
Liquidation
Token listing / Market making / Wealth management
Characteristics:
The more exciting the market → the more explosive the income
On extreme market days → income could approach 'hundreds of millions'
👉 Essence:
Exchanges profit from human volatility
🥉 Third tier: Public chains (collecting 'taxes from the whole market')
Represents:
Money-making logic:
Gas fees
MEV (transaction ordering profits)
Characteristics:
Income comes from 'all on-chain activities'
But fee competition → compresses profits
👉 Essence:
Public chains = the 'tax system' of Web3
⚔️ Fourth tier: DeFi (already split into two worlds)
🧱 Old world (infrastructure type)
Uniswap
Aave
Characteristics:
Stable income
But doesn't directly distribute to token holders
More like 'base utilities'
👉 Conclusion:
Important, but not sexy
🔥 New world (trading-driven type)
Hyperliquid
Polymarket
Why the sudden explosion?
More like an exchange (high frequency + sentiment)
Users are more willing to 'lose money'
But the problems are obvious:Income heavily relies on hot trends
Unstable, highly cyclical
👉 Essence:
New DeFi = decentralized version of exchanges
🧨 Key conclusion (most important)
👉 The real money-makers are not the ones with the strongest technology
👉 But it's the layer closest to the 'capital entry point'
Rankings can be understood like this:
💰 Earning potential (short-term explosion)
Stablecoins > Exchanges > New DeFi > Public chains > Traditional DeFi
🏰 Moat (long-term value)
Public chain ≈ stablecoins > exchanges > Aave/Uniswap > New DeFi
⚠️ Last sentence
In this market, it's not who is the most advanced that makes money,
And it's who is closest to 'money' that profits.
