The global shift from Web2 (centralized systems) to Web3 (decentralized frameworks) has redefined operational efficiency in finance and technology. Traditional firms across industries generate $0.5–1 million in annual revenue per employee, while top Web2 tech and finance companies improve this metric to $2–10 million per employee. Web3, however, has shattered these benchmarks: Hyperliquid, a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) with just 11 employees, achieves over $1.13 billion in annual revenue (equating to $102 million per employee), and Tether—with around 200 employees —operates the world’s largest stablecoin (USDT), boasting over $86 billion in reserves as of 2024.
This report explores how decentralization (smart contracts, blockchain transparency) drives commercial efficiency and regulatory compliance—dispelling the “anti-regulation” myth. It also examines if Web3’s extraordinary metrics will persist as the industry matures.
