$500M Invested, $360 Collected: Crypto's Scaling Problem Bites Back

Crypto hype has been replaced by prolonged bear markets and powerful AI models, rendering many blockchain projects ineffective.

Six chains raised $500 million but generated just $360 in daily fees. The data comes from a keen-eyed X user who noted the staggering investment disparity.

The six companies include Berachain, Celestia, Scroll, Eclipse, Sonic, and Manta.

Berachain struggled with sentiment issues, shrinking TAM, and increased skepticism around infrastructure value. Its BERA token is down 98% since launching in early 2025.
