DePIN Sector 2025: Tokens Down, On-Chain Revenues Up | Fundamentals Shift - News and Statistics

Table of Contents

January 30, 2026

Decentralized physical infrastructure networks DePIN is still facing pressure from falling token prices, but sector revenues are showing resilience, according to a report by Facilitator.

Most DePIN tokens stagnated or declined in 2025, with tokens launched between 2018 and 2022 lagging their all-time highs by 94-99%. However, a subset of networks reported growing on-chain revenue, indicating a shift away from speculative valuation towards fundamental economic activity. This sector represents approximately $10 billion in circulating market capitalization and generated an estimated $72 million in on-chain revenue in 2025.

Leading revenue-generating DePIN networks are now trading at roughly 10 to 25 times revenue, in contrast to valuation multiples exceeding 1,000 times revenue during the 2021 market cycle. “DePIN was forced to follow the fundamentals,” Marcus Levin, co-founder of the DePIN XYO project, told Decrypt. “When token prices are fixed, the only thing that matters is whether someone is actually paying for the service, and whether the network can sustain itself without subsidies. This shift is healthy.”

Massari’s report notes that only a limited set of strategies remain viable to scale DePIN projects sustainably, including alternative financing models such as InfraFi. InfraFi seeks to finance physical infrastructure using crypto-native capital such as stablecoins, with over $175 billion in stablecoins outstanding. Early deployments suggest that DePIN assets could attract yield-seeking capital, although the model introduces new credit, duration and regulatory risks and is still in its early stages.

Dylan Payne, senior research analyst at Messari and author of the report, told Decrypt that DePIN can increase its reputation by generating sustainable revenue from selling valuable resources to the market. “In favorable market conditions such scams [partnerships, ecosystems and community] “It can actually help accelerate the process of building supply-side growth, but the newly added supply must generate corresponding revenue for DePIN to be viable,” he said. [product-market fit] On the demand side.”
