The Impact of Whales on Crypto Projects
Daily average revenue per user (ARPU) can highlight the influence of large holders on a project’s revenue. A higher ARPU often suggests a stronger contribution from whales.
For projects targeting institutional players, this dynamic is expected. However, for those focused on retail users, a high ARPU may point to an outsized reliance on a few participants.

BSC Flipped Solana in Daily Chain Fees and Has Held the Lead for Three Straight Days
Fees are the simplest signal that users are paying to use blockspace. Mid-September belonged to Solana, but the gap closed fast and then reversed:
• Sep 15–19: Solana led, topping out around $2.2M (vs BSC ≈ $0.6–0.8M).
• Sep 20–22: BNB Chain on top, printing about $1.1–1.4M per day, while Solana cooled near $0.85–0.95M.
The crossover followed the Aster launch, which received visible public support from CZ (Changpeng Zhao). The result is increased users' attention, liquidity rotation toward BNB Chain, and a shift in paid demand.
