Crypto investment firm 1kx has published a report on blockchain industry revenue. It finds that publicly traded companies earned 16% of that revenue in 2026. In 2022 their share was 7%, so it has more than doubled in four years.
Simple arithmetic follows from those two figures. Everyone outside the public-company group held about 93% of blockchain revenue in 2022 and about 84% in 2026. The report credits the shift to institutional adoption and to blockchain being used in real-world applications.
The Cointelegraph article on the report was written by Nate Kostar, edited by Sam Bourgi, and published on Oct 29, 2026. The summary available here does not name the companies, give total revenue in dollars, or explain how 1kx defined and measured blockchain revenue. Without those details, it is not known which firms gained the most or which parts of the industry lost share.
For someone already holding a perpetual futures position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this report changes nothing directly. It says nothing about funding rates, trading fees, or liquidity on any of those exchanges. It describes who earns revenue across the industry, not what it costs to hold an open position.
