Trump's Team's "Preferred" DEX CoW Protocol: An Exclusive Aggregator for Whales, Generated $6 Million in Revenue Last Year but Still Operating at a Loss

Recently, the Trump family's crypto project World Liberty has significantly increased its holdings in Ethereum and other assets, with almost all transactions completed through the $CoW Protocol. The $CoW Protocol was incubated by the Gnosis team, and its founder, Anna George, previously served as a monitoring and evaluation expert for the United Nations. Despite having just over 1,000 daily active users, the total trading volume has reached $77 billion, with a record trading volume of $7.80 billion in December 2024. The 'demand matching' mechanism of the $CoW Protocol eliminates MEV and reduces transaction friction, attracting large investors. The governance token $COW surged by 392% after Trump's election but subsequently corrected by 50%. In 2024, revenue is approximately $6 million, still not breaking even, and the $Cow DAO proposal aims to optimize the fee model to enhance revenue. The $CoW Protocol ranks around 50th in terms of revenue within the Ethereum ecosystem, and the team hopes to achieve new milestones through market opportunities.
