Sky Protocol reached a record annualized gross revenue run rate of $419.08 million, according to the Sky Frontier Foundation’s June 2026 financial and operational update. The data takes into account the last three Monthly Settlement Cycles of the protocol, indicating the growth of the protocol’s decentralized finance ecosystem.
Also, Sky Frontier Foundation reported that the total yield generated and distributed to sUSDS holders through the Sky Savings Rate exceeded $250 million since its launch. This indicates growing participation in yield-generating products within the protocol. SKY gained 3.28% in the last 24 hours, with its price at $0.06028, which pushed its market cap to $1.4 billion.

Sky Protocol Expands Through Institutional Adoption and Treasury Growth
Sky Frontier Foundation also reported that Sky Reserves climbed to $82.5 million by the end of June, increasing $33.7 million from March.
The expanding treasury reflects stronger protocol income and provides additional financial flexibility. Growing reserves are generally viewed as a positive indicator because they strengthen the protocol’s ability to support ecosystem development and future initiatives.
The preliminary results of Q2 2026 revealed that there was a remarkable turnaround for Sky Protocol since the Net Protocol Surplus remitted to Sky Reserves amounted to $29.87 million compared to -$8.15 million recorded in Q2 2025.
The turnaround can be attributed to the growth of Gross Protocol Revenue by 10.5% to $107.35 million compared to the previous year. The full Q2 2026 report of Sky Protocol will be published in July 2026.
Sky Protocol Expands Through Institutional Adoption and Treasury Growth
Protocol expansion continued during June with Grove, one of Sky Protocol’s Prime Agents, launching the GROVE governance token. The new governance token is designed to increase participation of the community in the process of making decisions and to contribute to the decentralization of the ecosystem. Governance initiatives are critical for decentralized protocols to achieve better engagement of their stakeholders.
Another growth driver became the partnership of Sky.Money with Pendle Finance aimed at the launch of the fixed-yield sUSDS product. Within the first month of the product’s existence, $44.1 million was locked as the total value locked.
Going forward, market participants will likely watch whether protocol revenue, treasury growth, and product adoption continue supporting the token’s valuation and broader ecosystem expansion.
