7) because I'm writing this thread you all probably were like 'oh let's ignore what I think and put what I think Sam thinks' and then put something you didn't think. whatever.

8) I don't know the answer here--I don't work at most of these places! and also there are some issues here. for instance, let's say that, hypothetically, ftx or houbi or uniswap had sold $20m of their token over the last week (FTT/HT/UNI). is that 'revenue'?

9) idk, if so then this is just a question of who net sold/bought more of their tokens I guess. let's ignore that and look at the underlying product. what are the models here?

10) coinbase charges fees on trades ftx charges fees on trades houbi charges fees on trades sushi charges fees on trades uniswap charges fees on trades tether charges fees on creations/redemptions and interest

11) coinbase: 0.05% ~ 2% (!!!!) based on public info (have y'all ever tried to use their retail app and checked the price and fees?) ftx: ~0.03% or so based on public info huobi: ~0.03% or so based on public info sushi: 0.05% (30bps taker - 25bps maker rebate) uni: 0 (!!!)

12) tether: ok this one is complicated. maybe 0.10% on 50mm/day of creations, plus 0.01%/year on interest??? so maybe like 100m/year ~ $300k/day? idk making this up. ok so now we have numbers, what's the ranking? idk, something like: huobi coinbase/ftx/tether sushi uni

13) making a lot of assumptions there -- just sort of multiplying estimated average fees by adjusted volume;
@coingecko
is relativley good if *make sure to add up spot + derivatives!* also I think the gecko undercounts some spot volume, e.g. huobi, by a bit

14) sure, alright. so huobi is big, and then... it depends on what metrics you use, really. FWIW liquidity is probably roughly: huobi/ftx uni/coinbase/sushi not really sure how to think about tether here

16) volume is something like: huobi: 5b ftx: 1b uni/coinbase: 500m sushi: 100m tether: 50m (creation/redemption; trading way higher)

18) and remember some are newer than others! uni is old but its prominence is newer, and fees are forthcoming. sushi is really new but also in some ways very old :P tether is old, coinbase is old, huobi is old ftx is relatively new

19) anyway none of this was investment advice. but yeah a lot of people seem to be posting stuff on twitter that doesn't exactly line up with the numbers.

20) TL;DR: userbase, volume, revenue, and liquidity all give somewhat different rankings of platforms also we all forgot about huobi but it's still big

21) also note I didn't list
@iearnfinance
here because tbh its revenue model is complicated and I'm not thinking about it clearly enough to know what to think of it. I'll try to get around to that.

Not even close on SUSHI... 5-year market cap nearly $2.5b at current prices.

SUSHI supply is very inflationary, which isn't captured properly in this chart. The 5-year supply of SUSHI (110 minted per block, 275 blocks per hour) is ~1.4B. At current prices, that's >$2B market cap. That gives it a correct P/S of near 10x, which is *higher* than Uniswap.
