BNB Smart Chain DEX volume rises, briefly flips Solana

As a seasoned researcher with a knack for deciphering cryptocurrency trends, I must admit that the recent surge in Decentralized Exchange (DEX) volume activity on Binance’s BNB Smart Chain has piqued my interest. The temporary flip of Solana is a testament to the dynamic nature of this industry and the constant ebb and flow of power among players.


In recent days, there’s been a significant surge in trading volume on Decentralized Exchanges associated with Binance‘s BNB Smart Chain, momentarily outpacing Solana.

According to data from DeFi Llama, the weekly trading volume saw a nearly 40% increase, reaching approximately $5.4 billion, positioning it as the third-largest player within the DeFi sector.

For three days straight, starting from August 21 to August 23, Solana’s (SOL) transaction volume exceeded $922 million, $1.13 billion, and $908 million respectively. Notably, it has surpassed Arbitrum (ARB), a well-known Ethereum layer-2 network, in terms of transaction volume during this period.

On August 24th, Solana surpassed Binance Smart Chain (BSC) in terms of total value locked (TVL), with BSC’s TVL being approximately $725 million and Solana’s slightly lower at around $723 million.

A closer examination reveals that PancakeSwap (CAKE) led the pack in trading activity over the past week, processing more than $625 million. Trailing behind were Dodo, Uniswap, and Woofi, who experienced significant increases in their respective volumes: 45%, 60%, and an impressive 108%.

For the past three days (August 21, 22, and 23), trading volume on the Binance Smart Chain’s DEX has exceeded that of Solana, placing it as the second highest among all decentralized exchanges, trailing only Ethereum.

The surge in BSC’s profits occurred when Binance Coin (BNB) experienced a rally, peaking at $597.30 – a level not seen since July 22. At its peak, BNB had increased by nearly 50% from its lowest point this month, positioning it among the top-performing cryptocurrencies in the top ten list.

It seems that the surge in prices could be due to the fact that Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, was transferred to a halfway house as he begins his four-month sentence for breaching anti-money laundering regulations. This news may have caused investors to react positively, leading to the price increase.

New information indicates that the amount of value locked in Binance Smart Chain’s DeFi sector increased by 7.20%, reaching a total of approximately $4.5 billion. This positions BSC as the fourth largest player in the Decentralized Finance industry, following Ethereum (ETH), Tron (TRX), and Solana, which hold values of around $51 billion, $8.7 billion, and $5.35 billion respectively.

In a remarkable surge, Tron’s network showed exceptional performance as the weekly trading volume for decentralized exchanges (DEX) skyrocketed by approximately 457%, reaching an impressive $1.28 billion. This growth was largely fueled by the increasing popularity of novel meme coins within its ecosystem. Notably, all this activity took place on Sun.io, where the Sun Token has experienced a significant rise, climbing more than 357% from its lowest point this month.
