Cash flow

P/S Multiple, ranked

Market capitalisation divided by annualised protocol revenue, scored so cheap ranks high.

What this variable measures

Market capitalisation divided by annualised protocol revenue, scored so cheap ranks high.

A 10 means the asset trades at a low multiple of the cash it produces. A 1 means the multiple is extreme or undefined because revenue is near zero.

Nothing else in the set comes as close to a valuation, and no other variable disagrees with price momentum as often.

02

What the universe says

Across 251 rated tokens the median score on P/S Multiple is 4 of 10 and the mean is 4.2. 1 token scores 9 or 10, and 34 score 2 or below. Across Protocol leads at 9 of 10.

P/S Multiple correlates 0.57 with the composite score across the universe, which makes it moderately tied to overall standing. It moves with quality without being a proxy for it.

Against live market capitalisation for the 236 tokens with a matched market row, P/S Multiple carries a rank correlation of -0.12. That is effectively no relationship. Whatever this variable measures, the market is not currently charging for it, which is the definition of an unpriced edge if you believe the variable matters.

The closest variable to P/S Multiple is Protocol Revenue at 0.65, which is strongly tied to it. Nothing else in the framework restates this one, so it earns its slot.

Across Protocol (ACX) scores 9 of 10 on P/S Multiple, 1st of 251, on a market capitalisation under $500M. That gap between rank on this variable and rank by size is the whole reason to read the table rather than the top ten.

Tokens at each score from 1 to 10. The shape matters: a variable where almost everything clusters at 3 is telling you the whole category fails it, not that one token is unusual.

04

All 251 tokens ranked

Sorted by score on this variable alone, so a token can lead here and rank poorly overall. That disagreement is the useful part: it is where a single-variable screen finds something the composite averages away.

Scores come from the research pass dated 18 Sept 2026 and do not move with price. Market capitalisation is from the live snapshot fetched 7 Oct 2026, so the two columns are stamped at different times on purpose.

05

Variables that move with this one

Correlations across all 251 rated tokens. A number near 1 means the two variables are close to the same measurement, which is worth knowing before treating a second high score as independent confirmation of the first.

06

Common questions

Which crypto tokens score highest on p/s multiple?
Across Protocol (ACX) at 9, Maker / Sky (MKR) at 8, CoW Protocol (COW) at 8, Ether.fi (ETHFI) at 8, Aave (AAVE) at 8 lead the 251 rated tokens on P/S Multiple, each scored 1 to 10 against the same definition.
What is a good p/s multiple score?
The median across the universe is 4 of 10 and the mean is 4.2, so anything at 7 or above sits well inside the top of the distribution. Only 1 of 251 tokens reach 9 or 10.
Does p/s multiple affect a token's market cap?
Rank correlation between P/S Multiple and market capitalisation is -0.12 across 236 tokens with live market data. That is close to none, so the market is not pricing this variable today.
