Solana Surpasses Ethereum in Daily DEX Trading Volume

As a researcher with a background in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency markets, I find Solana’s recent surge in daily decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume to be an intriguing development. The data from DefiLlama showing that Solana surpassed Ethereum’s trading volume is noteworthy, especially considering the popularity and market dominance of Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem.


Recent data from DefiLlama indicates that Solana has surpassed Ethereum in daily decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume. Solana’s DEX platforms reported a trading volume of approximately $1.148 billion, compared to Ethereum’s $736.62 million.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed an interesting development in the decentralized exchange (DEX) landscape lately. Solana-powered platforms like Raydium, Meteora, Orca, Phoenix, and Lifinity have been making significant strides, pushing their way into the top 10 DEXs by daily trading volume. Uniswap and PancakeSwap remain market leaders overall, but it’s fascinating to see Solana platforms gaining ground.

According to Patrick Scott, the founder of Dynamo DeFi, Solana’s decentralized exchange (DEX) volume is nearing a 25% market share for the first time in June 2023. This significant rise can be attributed in part to the surge in popularity of meme coins on the Solana platform during the early part of the year.
