PANews reported on September 16th that Metaplex released its August summary on the X platform, reporting that protocol revenue reached $2.5 million in August, a six-month high. This figure came from $2 million in token metadata revenue (80%), $422,000 in Genesis revenue (17%), and $71,000 in core business revenue (3%). Genesis revenue increased 340% month-over-month, primarily driven by the CARDS and PORTALS projects.
