DePIN Sector Reaches $10 Billion Market Cap as 2025 Revenue Climbs to $72 Million

In 2025, decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) reached an estimated $10 billion market capitalization while generating $72 million in on-chain revenue, according to Messari's State of DePIN 2025 report. Despite this measurable growth and roughly $1 billion in private funding for early-stage startups, many leading DePIN tokens traded at significantly lower revenue multiples than during the 2021 cycle. The report notes that some networks continued to grow usage-based revenue even as token prices fell across much of the sector.
