How DeBank's $1M+ profiles allocate capital

279 ranked DeBank profiles, portfolio snapshot collected June 9, 2026.

Protocol adoption is broad; capital is more concentrated

Usage counts profiles with at least $1 of assets, debt, or absolute net position value. Hyperliquid narrowly leads adoption, while Aave V3 is the capital leader. Merkl's high user count but tiny value illustrates why adoption and capital need separate views.

Adoption does not predict capital depth

The scatter separates broadly tried protocols from protocols that absorb significant balances. Spark and Eth2 are capital-heavy relative to their user counts; Merkl and several incentive surfaces have the opposite profile.

Large protocol totals can still depend on a handful of wallets. The next view measures the top five wallets' share of positive protocol value, which is the relevant denominator for concentration rather than net value after debt.

Perp venues overlap, but Hyperliquid has the larger independent base

28 profiles use both venues. That is 80.0% of Lighter users but only 20.1% of Hyperliquid users. The saved target file identifies Hyperliquid users who have not adopted Lighter.

Debt and health risk

155 profiles carry protocol debt, and 93 indebted profiles have a minimum reported health rate below 1.2. Aggregate debt is concentrated in the protocols below; debt totals are gross liabilities and should not be interpreted as net capital.

Protocol pairings reveal adjacent behavior

Morpho, Aave V3, Pendle V2, Hyperliquid, and Lighter users often overlap with the same yield, incentive, and liquidity venues. The exact pairings below are useful for cross-adoption analysis; high-overlap reward surfaces should not be mistaken for large capital allocations.

Ethereum is nearly universal and holds almost three quarters of wealth

Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Base, and OP are used by more than three quarters of the cohort, but their capital shares are smaller. HyperEVM and Plasma stand out as lower-adoption chains with substantial value.

Economic chain loyalty

A wallet may touch many chains while keeping most capital on one. 180 profiles keep at least 80% of value on their largest chain.

HyperEVM users behave differently

HyperEVM users are compared with Ethereum-dominant wallets that do not use HyperEVM and the remaining cohort. This separates chain adoption from portfolio size, breadth, leverage, and perp participation.

Rank bands show different behavior

Higher-ranked profiles generally use more protocols and chains, but venue adoption is not uniform. This view compares protocol adoption within each DeBank rank band.

Six portfolio archetypes emerge

K-means clustering uses wealth, breadth, chain concentration, direct-wallet asset mix, capped debt ratio, and major protocol adoption. Labels describe cluster averages; they are behavioral summaries, not identity claims.

Stablecoins, staking, and restaking

USDe is the broadest emerging stablecoin family in the cohort. Counts union direct tokens, wrappers, Pendle claims, and protocol-position tokens so each profile is counted once per family.

Liquid staking and restaking: 171 profiles use at least one of 14 identified staking/restaking protocols, representing $455.1M of net protocol value.
Direct-wallet asset families: stablecoins appear in 263 profiles, ETH-family assets in 273, BTC-family assets in 143, and other verified assets in 276. These features can include receipt tokens.

Direct-wallet token holder distribution

Token distribution covers 276 profiles; three token-list calls consistently returned DeBank HTTP 500. Receipt tokens are included in DeBank's wallet list, so holder counts are useful but token dollar totals should not be added to protocol values.

Portfolio breadth and unusual combinations

The broadest wallets touch dozens of protocols and chains. Rarity scores elevate profiles whose protocol mix is unusual relative to the cohort; they identify analytical outliers, not suspicious behavior.

Reusable adoption targets

The saved target file contains 111 Hyperliquid users without Lighter, 86 Aave V3 users without Morpho, and 66 stablecoin-heavy wallets without Pendle. These are analytical candidates, not recommendations to contact wallets indiscriminately.

Definitions and caveats

Protocol value sums DeBank stats.net_usd_value. Protocol use requires at least $1 of assets, debt, or absolute net value. Chain use requires at least $1. Token holder requires a verified direct-wallet balance worth at least $1. Direct-wallet asset-family shares can include receipt tokens and should be treated as behavioral features, not reconciled accounting. Cluster labels are descriptive. The cohort is a point-in-time sample of ranked DeBank profiles, not all wallets.
