In a significant milestone for the expanding Solana ecosystem, the volume of decentralized exchange (DEX) transactions on its blockchain has recently reached an all-time high. Impressively, Solana’s DEX volume has even surpassed that of Ethereum (ETH), which is recognized as the largest blockchain by Total Value Locked (TVL).
This surge is particularly noteworthy amidst a broader market recovery, as both Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) experienced substantial price gains in the past week.
Over the last seven days, Solana’s DEX volume led all major blockchains, according to data released by the Solanians Hub on X on July 18. This uptick is significant, especially considering the ongoing rebound in the cryptocurrency market, allowing Solana to capture a considerable share of DEX activities.
“Solana has achieved the highest DEX trading volume among major blockchains over the past week. During the current market recovery phase, it has outperformed other chains, attracting a large number of users engaged in DEX transactions!” the platform highlighted.
