Grayscale's report highlights Hyperliquid and PancakeSwap as leading crypto assets for yield and adjusted earnings.

Grayscale's report highlights Hyperliquid and PancakeSwap as leading crypto assets for yield and adjusted earnings. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $81,515.00, up 0.4% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by BeInCrypto, with live market data added, as of Fri, 23 Oct 2026 02:45:02 UTC.

Why it matters

The report provides a framework for valuing crypto assets based on cash flows, potentially shifting focus away from Bitcoin-centric valuation models.

Key takeaways
  • Hyperliquid (HYPE) tops the tokenholder yield list at 8.0%.
  • PancakeSwap (CAKE) leads in adjusted earnings yield at 14.4%.
  • Grayscale emphasizes cash flow-based valuation for many crypto assets.

Grayscale has released a report identifying the top 10 crypto assets based on tokenholder yield and adjusted earnings yield. The report highlights Hyperliquid (HYPE) as the leader in tokenholder yield with 8.0%, while PancakeSwap (CAKE) tops the adjusted earnings yield list at 14.4%.

The report argues that, unlike Bitcoin, many crypto assets can be valued based on their cash flows. This approach could provide investors with a new framework for assessing the value of various digital assets.

Hyperliquid currently has a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $1.75 billion, according to DeFiLlama, while PancakeSwap's Yield TVL stands at $134.27 million, marking a 7.6% decrease over the past week. The circulating supply of CASH, another relevant token, is $127.67 million.

In the broader market context, the total crypto market cap is $2.79 trillion, with Bitcoin experiencing a 2.59% drop in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index remains at 50, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The findings suggest a potential shift in how investors perceive and value different crypto assets. As the market evolves, cash flow-based valuation models could gain more traction, especially for assets that generate yield.
