Solana Maintains Lead in Decentralized Exchange Trading Volumes
Solana has maintained its lead in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volumes for five consecutive months, with a trading volume of $105.85 billion in February, far ahead of its closest competitor, BNB Chain, which recorded a trading volume of $84.25 billion during the same period.
Slowing Down of Solana Meme Coin Market
Despite its strong performance in DEX trading volumes, the Solana meme coin market has experienced a significant slowdown, particularly in activity on Pump.fun. This popular platform, which was one of the largest drivers of Solana’s revenue in 2024, has seen a sharp decline in protocol fee revenue, dropping by over 90% from its peak of $15.38 million on January 25. Additionally, token launches on Pump.fun have plummeted, falling from a peak of over 70,000 on January 23 to around 20,000 launched on March 1.
Solana’s Dominance in App Revenue
Solana’s dominance extends beyond DEX transaction volume, as it also leads in app revenue. With $280.32 million in app revenue as of February, Solana has outperformed BSC at $16.51 and Ethereum at $59.02.
According to Tagus Capital, Solana’s lower fees and higher throughput continue to attract developers and users, highlighting its growing role in decentralized finance.
