Discover the latest dynamics in the decentralized exchange (DEX) world, where Solana unexpectedly surpassed Ethereum. This indicates major changes in the crypto market.
Solana Surpasses Ethereum in Daily DEX Trading Volume
For a long time, Ethereum has been a leader in the DEX market with its established infrastructure and user base. However, recent data shows a surprising shift; Solana surpassed Ethereum in daily DEX trading volumes. According to DefiLlama, Solana's DEXs accumulated an impressive $1.148 billion, while Ethereum's $745 million was advertised. This success highlights that Solana-based platforms such as Raydium, Meteora, Orca, Phoenix and Lifinity have gained significant traction.
The Race for the Leading Altcoin Is Heating
The race to become the top altcoin is an ongoing story in the crypto world. The recent change in DEX trading volumes shows that Solana is no longer a small player, but rather a serious competitor against Ethereum. Last week, DEX trading volumes totaled $26 billion and Solana's share increased significantly. Patrick Scott, founder of Dynamo DeFi, stated that Solana's dominance in DEX volumes is constantly increasing and projections are that it may exceed 25% for the first time.
