Imagine a gladiator arena where Solana is stealing the whole damn show.
That’s the story of Solana’s DEX volume , which has been flexing muscles and leaving Ethereum and BNB Chain eating its digital dust for 16 straight weeks.
No flukes here, this is a full-on reign of crypto firepower.
Solana’s volume: up only?
Solana’s DEX ecosystem is thriving. Period. This blockchain heavyweight consistently doubles Ethereum’s daily trading volume and trumps other Layer 1 and Layer 2 rivals with the highest weekly volumes.
The market might have cooled on memecoins, but experts agree that Solana maintains its edge, powered by thick streams of legacy tokens, stablecoin pairs, and wrapped tokens.
Enter HumidiFi, the dark pool DEX newcomer that exploded onto the scene in the past six months, dragging Solana’s volumes further into the stratosphere.
HumidiFi is sprinting there, pushing trading action comparable to the old-timers on other chains.
Competition between DEXes
Now, every good story needs competition, and analysts say Solana’s got it. Lending platforms like Kamino and Jupiter are duking it out, sparking fresh trading surges.
Then there’s Monad’s MON token launch, stirring the pot and sending additional ripples through the DEX waters.
Solana’s cross-chain activity is more complex, and more game-changing than ever before.
PumpSwap emerged as the champion for legacy tokens, handling everything from PUMP tokens to USDC pairs and a sprinkle of trending memes.

As experts highlighted, while Solana racks up transaction counts, BNB Chain flashes its own muscle with top cross-chain volumes. PancakeSwap, riding that wave, has become the busiest protocol, even nudging Uniswap aside for now.
Solana’s also become the go-to for Polymarket users switching from Polygon
Despite the altcoin season’s “meh” vibes (anyway, what altseason, you may ask), DEX trading remains a hive of activity, fueled by whale moves and brief token rallies.
These DEXes keep the engines of liquidity humming, fueled by lending flows and stablecoin swaps, a perfect storm of digital hustle.
Analysts show us numbers too, so in the last three months, Solana attracted $182 million in net inflows, showing it’s the cool kid at the DeFi party.
Year-to-date, it gulped down $634 million in liquidity, mostly migrating over from Ethereum and a splash from Polygon.
Fun twist, Solana’s also become the go-to for Polymarket users switching from Polygon, proving it’s not just a volume king but a versatile ecosystem magnet.
If blockchains played high school sports, Solana just scored the winning touchdown, again and again, week after week.
