The 1kx Blockchain Revenue Report put institutional activity and broader-economy uses at 33% of Q3 2026 blockchain revenue, projecting about $100 billion for 2026, 28% below 2025.

The report estimated Q3 prediction-market fees at more than $1.5 billion, 19 times the year-earlier figure. It put crypto-card spending at $3.4 billion, three times the year-earlier level.

The 33% figure is a share of quarterly revenue; prediction-market fees and crypto-card spending are dollar totals. The report said the lower 2026 forecast came amid market-price corrections.
