Instead, the P/S ratio focuses on the usage of a protocol, by tracking the total fees paid (revenue) by the users of its service. More info: https://t.co/XlHI7XPTvI
1/ Why the price to sales ratio (P/S) is a useful tool for crypto investors 👇
The price to sales ratio compares a protocol’s market cap to its revenues. A low ratio could imply that the protocol is undervalued and vice versa.

This transparency makes it possible to find protocols with high usage relative to market cap.
Note: Maker has gone from a high P/S ratio to #3 in a matter of months after raising the stability fees for DAI.
Also, two currently similar AMMs (Uniswap & SushiSwap) have the lowest P/S ratios.
The P/S ratio is calculated by dividing a project’s fully-diluted market cap by its annualized revenues.
The metric itself does not tell us about the growth patterns in a protocol’s market cap or revenues.
There seems to be a pretty direct correlation between the (low) P/S ratio & market cap --> revenues have been consistently high since the launch of the $UNI token.
Uniswap’s daily revenues have been consistently high during Q3-Q4 --> fluctuations in market cap have been the primary driver for changes in the P/S ratio.
There does not seem to be a direct correlation between the (low) P/S ratio and market cap.
Surges in Sushiswap’s daily revenues have trended its P/S ratio lower both during its launch and also more recently.
Compound’s market cap has been stable since the launch of $COMP. Its P/S ratio trended quickly to a low double-digit figure --> revenues spiked after the launch of its token.
Compound’s daily revenues spiked up significantly with the launch of the $COMP token and associated liquidity mining.
There seems to have been a pretty direct correlation between the P/S ratio & market cap during the early days --> revenues were low initially, but have been on an upward trend since.
Kyber’s daily revenues were relatively low in the beginning but have been on an upward trend for the past two years.
After the launch of Synthetix v2, the protocol had a relatively low market cap & high P/S ratio --> revenues were low initially, but have trended upward during the past quarter.
Synthetix’s daily revenues have been been on an upward trend during Q3-Q4, after a slower start in Q2.
Market cap of Ethereum is a long way from the highs of 2017, yet its P/S ratio is on par with leading DeFi protocols --> significant growth in revenues during the past 6 months.
Ethereum’s daily revenues have been consistently high during Q2-Q4, while its market cap has yet to catch-up with the growth of the Ethereum ecosystem.
It’s one of the first fundamentals-based indexes in the crypto market.

It shows that Compound, Uniswap, and MakerDAO currently hold the largest weightings in the index portfolio.
