Is DePIN outperforming Bitcoin, and is leadership broad?
Bottom line
Geodnet ranks first for research priority in DePIN crypto at 75.8/100, and its native activity evidence clears the coverage gate. The theme's 13-week excess versus Bitcoin is -4.2% on 18% breadth, which is what decides whether that lead is isolated or broad. 2 of the 24 assets here carry enough native evidence to move past a tape-led label.
These DePIN coins are part of the cryptocurrency universe this site tracks daily — 894 of the top 1,000 crypto currency assets by market cap, priced from exchange closes and matched to protocol fees and revenue where a protocol publishes them.

Participation is spreading downward — the mid and small companies added more this month than the large ones did.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the theme line is an equal-weighted index of its 19 coins. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month protocol revenue, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the theme taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while protocol revenue grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

4-Factor Crypto Evidence Score
A within-theme research-priority score for the 24 assets in DePIN, out of 100. The four displayed point contributions add exactly to the total, and the market regime changes the action label, never the arithmetic. Geodnet is highest at 75.8/100 on 82% evidence. It ranks research attention, not portfolio action.
Geodnet leads the current research queue at 75.8/100 with 82% evidence.
2/24 assets have enough native activity evidence to move beyond a tape-led label.
Missing native metrics are not scored as zero and are not silently reweighted. They pull only the affected factor toward neutral and lower its visible evidence percentage.

Which assets lead on price and relative strength?
Geodnet leads the DePIN tape on Bitcoin-relative strength at +76% over 90 days. 4 of 22 covered assets are above their own 200-day average. Price shows what happened; BTC-relative strength shows whether the asset beat crypto’s opportunity-cost benchmark. Both lines run through 2026-07-24.
Complete set · no silent drops
Which assets are in DePIN?
24 priced assets are assigned to DePIN, listed below by rank with every one visible — including tape-only names that publish no protocol activity. Each asset has exactly one canonical functional theme, chosen by a specific-to-general first match on its categories. Pegged, wrapped, liquid-staking receipt and tokenized-asset instruments are excluded because they have no independent price discovery.

Methodology · boundaries make the answer useful
What can make this comparison misleading?
This DePIN comparison names 5 ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. The largest is that crypto network activity is not company earnings: protocol revenue does not automatically accrue to token holders. Coverage is also uneven — 2 of 24 assets carry enough native evidence to rank on more than price.
Crypto network activity is not company earnings. Protocol revenue does not automatically accrue to token holders.
Market-cap values are a dated universe snapshot, not point-in-time historical supply data.
Current category labels are applied to historical prices; this creates survivorship and taxonomy hindsight.
Funding rates, open interest, liquidations, exchange flows, unlock schedules, historical circulating supply and developer activity are not held and are not inferred.
Equal weighting is used for sector history because true historical market-cap weights are unavailable.

Questions the page should answer directly
Crypto analysis FAQs
These 18 answers cover the questions this page can settle from data it holds — what the category is, how the score is built, what the coverage gaps are, and what would change the read. Every answer below is also present in the page’s FAQ schema and in its plain-text rendition. None of them is a recommendation.
What is DePIN crypto?
DePIN crypto refers to cryptocurrency projects grouped by what they actually do rather than by market fashion. This page tracks 24 such coins by market cap, price and Bitcoin-relative strength, with protocol fees and revenue where a project publishes them. Readings are as of 2026-07-24.
What is the total market cap of DePIN crypto coins?
The DePIN coins on this page are tracked against a universe of 894 of the top 1,000 crypto currency assets by market cap. Market-cap metadata is dated 2026-07-04, separately from the price series, and each coin's own figure is in the table on this page.
Are DePIN crypto coins outperforming Bitcoin?
DePIN has returned -3.2% versus Bitcoin over 52 weeks and -4.2% over 13 weeks on an equal-weight current-member index. 4/22 covered assets are above their 200-day averages as of 2026-07-24.
Which DePIN asset has the strongest research score?
Geodnet ranks first at 75.8/100: 31.0 + 23.0 + 15.8 + 6.0 = 75.8. It is labelled “Illiquid · research only” with 82% overall evidence and 64% native-economics evidence.
How is the DePIN 4-factor score calculated?
The exact sum is Market leadership /35 + Network and economic traction /30 + Value capture /20 + Liquidity and downside risk /15. Missing data pulls only the affected factor toward neutral and lowers evidence; it is never silently reweighted.
Why can a DePIN asset be labelled tape-led?
Tape-led means price and relative-strength evidence exists but less than half of the native traction and value-capture evidence is available. Such assets remain visible but rank below fully evidenced assets.
Does protocol revenue accrue to the token?
Not necessarily. Protocol fees and revenue measure network economics; token-holder value depends on the protocol’s burn, buyback, staking, distribution and governance rules. This page never assumes accrual merely because revenue exists.
Does crypto have a P/E or PEG ratio?
No comparable company-style P/E or PEG is used. Where coverage permits, the page shows network fee yield and protocol-revenue yield against a dated market-cap snapshot, with an explicit token-accrual caveat.
How much history is shown for DePIN?
The page shows five years of weekly price and relative-strength history and 20 complete calendar quarters of on-chain activity where available. Missing periods remain gaps.
Why do the crypto data dates differ?
Prices and technical metrics run through 2026-07-24; protocol activity through 2026-07-24; chain users and transactions through the latest available chain date; chain TVL through 2026-07-24; market capitalisation is a separate snapshot dated 2026-07-04.
Are stablecoins and wrapped tokens included in DePIN?
No. Pegged, wrapped, liquid-staking receipt and tokenized-asset instruments are excluded because they do not have independent price discovery.
Can one token appear in multiple raw crypto categories?
Yes, but public MLA pages assign each asset to exactly one functional theme using a specific-to-general first-match taxonomy. DePIN therefore has one canonical membership list.
What would invalidate the current DePIN theme read?
The read weakens if the sector’s 13-week relative return versus Bitcoin falls below zero, fewer than one-third of covered assets remain above the 200-day average, and the leading asset’s native activity also contracts.
Does this page include funding rates, open interest or token unlocks?
No. Those datasets are not held in the current research store, so the page names them as unavailable rather than inferring them from price.
Which projects are generating the most network fees?
Geodnet leads DePIN crypto on Trailing 12-month fees at $6.8M, 175% ahead of Filecoin. 1 of 2 assets with comparable change data is growing. Coverage is 3 of the 24 assets in this theme, through the Q2 2026 calendar quarter. Where a project publishes nothing, the cell stays blank rather than being read as zero. Investor read: Use this as a network-economics research lead, not token-holder earnings. Verify whether the measured activity accrues to the token before treating scale as value capture. This conclusion weakens if fee growth turns negative across two complete calendar quarters or fee coverage falls below the stated threshold.
Which projects convert activity into protocol revenue?

This conclusion weakens if revenue growth turns negative or the revenue-to-fees take rate falls for two complete calendar quarters.
Where is capital actually committed on-chain?
Ankr Network leads DePIN crypto on Quarter-end TVL at $17.9M, 374% ahead of Filecoin. 1 of 4 assets with comparable change data is growing, fastest at BitTorrent. Coverage is 7 of the 24 assets in this theme, through the Q2 2026 calendar quarter. Where a project publishes nothing, the cell stays blank rather than being read as zero. Investor read: Use this as a network-economics research lead, not token-holder earnings. Verify whether the measured activity accrues to the token before treating scale as value capture. This conclusion weakens if TVL rises while fees and users fall; that pattern can be incentive-funded mercenary liquidity.
Which DePIN project has the largest fee base?
Geodnet leads covered trailing-12-month fees at $6.8M. Coverage is 3/24; this is network activity, not automatically token-holder income.
