Crypto wallet and interface revenues fell 60% year over year to roughly $400 million in the first half of 2026, according to a report by 1kx. The decline was mainly linked to lower trading activity and volatile crypto prices, while DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure networks) revenue fell 10% to $264 million from $293 million. The wider consumer sector generated $5.0 billion, down about $600 million, or 11%, from the first half of 2025. Gambling and gaming revenue rose 8% to $3.3 billion from about $3.1 billion, limiting the sector's overall decline and becoming its largest income category. 1kx said gaming's resilience offset weaker wallet revenue but also underscored the sector's reliance on volatile categories. Wallet activity across blockchains was mixed: Santiment data showed Bitcoin losing about 30,000 non-empty wallets since mid-October, leaving just under 60 million, while Ethereum exceeded 207 million non-empty wallets in September as staked ETH surpassed 40 million. Wallets typically earn fees from swaps, transactions and integrated DeFi services, but a larger address count does not necessarily produce higher revenue.
