1inch xử lý khối lượng giao dịch 80,9 tỷ USD kể từ năm 2019, nhưng vẫn chưa có lợi nhuận

The Huoxing Finance report states that on September 10, 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz said that since its inception in 2019, 1inch has processed a cumulative token swap volume of approximately $809 billion, yet the company has yet to achieve profitability. Kunz believes that the current DeFi market size is still insufficient to support large-scale revenue generation through value extraction; instead of pursuing short-term profits, the company should continue building infrastructure. Kunz revealed that 1inch is addressing DeFi liquidity fragmentation through its newly launched shared liquidity protocol, Aqua. A study commissioned by 1inch and conducted by Dune shows that in the first half of 2026, approximately 85% of concentrated liquidity on major decentralized exchanges was underutilized, with about $1.6 billion of the $1.84 billion in tracked liquidity remaining underused, resulting in an estimated $150 million in annual fee revenue going uncollected. Aqua allows liquidity providers to support multiple trading pairs simultaneously via their wallet balances without depositing assets into liquidity pools, with trade settlement handled by compliance-vetted market makers. On its launch day, approximately $25 million in funds were committed, accompanied by incentives of 10 million 1INCH and 500,000 USDC. Currently, 1inch has partnered with mainstream platforms such as Coinbase, and Robinhood has listed it as a partner on Robinhood Chain. Kunz stated that 1inch prefers to first build infrastructure and seek commercialization opportunities once traditional finance and larger capital flows enter the space.
