The Spark protocol is making money, but the market hasn't noticed it yet, and institutions are sneaking in? As the DeFi market shifts to a new cycle and narrative focused on real revenue and protocol sustainability; stablecoins, Spark's USDS & sUSDS are becoming the next potential beneficiaries! The fundamentals of SPK are impeccable, but the technical aspects are currently lacking a bit – however, I still firmly believe that fundamentals are primary, and technicals are secondary! ▰▰▰▰▰ Spark's profit model! Users deposit USDS/sUSDS 　　　↓ Spark mints, schedules, and deploys across chains 　　　↓ Funds flow into high-yield scenarios like Aave / Morpho / Ethena 　　　↓ Returns flow back to users (sUSDS) & the protocol (SPK stakers) 　　　↓ SPK staking earns SSR (Sustainable Spark Rewards) 　　　↓ TVL continues to rise, enhancing capital allocation capabilities 　　　↓ Token value accumulation strengthens In simple terms: capital grows → returns increase → SPK dividends increase → the market buys SPK ▰▰▰▰▰ Real revenue distribution of Spark Let's take a look at Spark's current deployment data: ▪ Over $4.5 billion USDS minted (from Sky Allocation Vault) ▪ Over $3.1 billion deployed into on-chain strategies ▪ $900 million entered SparkLend ▪ $800 million entered BlackRock's BUIDL (government bond yields) ▪ Hundreds of millions deployed to high-yield scenarios like Ethena, Morpho, Pendle ▪ sUSDS has cumulatively distributed over $82 million in returns (data: Stablewatch) These returns are not in the future but are already being distributed daily to users and stakers as dividends! ▰▰▰▰▰ When the market wakes up, what stage will SPK be in? Currently, SPK's growth is still in a phase of market recognition lag: ▪ Ecological cooperation has been established (deep integration with Aave, Morpho, Pendle, Ethena, etc.) ▪ The yield flywheel has already started (sUSDS annualized stable at 5% - 8%) ▪ The number of users is continuously increasing (especially through leveraged plays with Morpho and Pendle) However, SPK's valuation has not fully reflected: ▪ The unique SSR revenue mechanism ▪ The market share of yield-generating stablecoins is continuously rising (sUSDS is second only to sUSDe) ▪ Cross-chain deployment + RWA compliance routes give Spark the potential for institutional participation This could be one of the most cost-effective timing points for SPK! Not giving buy/sell advice but it can be a reference! ▰▰▰▰▰ Here are a few observation points that I will continue to monitor: ▪ SSR yield: observe if staking returns can ramp up quickly ▪ sUSDS market share: can it capture more market from sUSDe? ▪ Capital flow: is there continued large-scale deployment into Pendle / Ethena / RWA? SPK market cap: are people starting to notice the flywheel running smoothly, and is that expectation reflected in the price? ▰▰▰▰▰ Conclusion You may have missed Lido, missed Pendle, missed ENA, but Spark is a yield aggregator you can still pay attention to, one that can truly sustain itself through profitability! So don't just look at surface-level hype; learn to look at revenue streams, dividend structures, and token economics, and you'll realize this is a DeFi alpha!
