Crypto is the Real World: Understanding the Cryptonative Economy
summary
Claims on measurable scale: the Cryptonative reports count L1 L2 and protocol fees (excluding CEX revenue, mining/staking and services) and estimate onchain revenue at $1.44B (2020), $20B (2021 peak), $12–15B (2024 est.). Rough employment is ~100,000 people paid in crypto. Token market cap sits in the low trillions while total crypto revenues remain under ~$100B today versus gaming ~$600B and entertainment ~$900B. Recent L2 gas abstraction and bank adoption in places like Switzerland make consumer payments and business acceptance more practical now.
