As Solana, that most spirited of blockchain networks, commemorates the fifth anniversary of its inception, we find ourselves in the midst of a most remarkable spectacle. The esteemed platform Mercuryo has unveiled data that reveals a veritable tempest of volatility in the trading of Tether upon the Solana transport layer this year. Such sharp price movements are a testament to the burgeoning interest from crypto traders, who have taken to Solana (SOL) with the fervor of a Regency ball.
Indeed, the genesis block of Solana was birthed on the 16th of March in the year 2020, and since that auspicious day, it has processed a staggering 408 billion transactions and nearly $1 trillion in trading volume on decentralized exchanges. One might say it has established itself as a veritable titan in the realm of layer-1 blockchains.
With its remarkable ability to execute transactions at high speed and low cost, Solana has become the darling of traders who seek both swift execution and ample liquidity. It is as if the network were a charming suitor, offering the most agreeable terms to all who would engage.
However, let us not overlook the extreme volatility of Tether (USDT) trading, which has seen dramatic fluctuations in early 2025. Traders, ever the strategists, have repositioned their approaches to seize upon the shifting tides of market trends. Mercuryo’s data reveals the following astonishing price swings:
- 100% surge (week of Jan 13)
- 63% drop (Jan 20)
- 129% recovery (Jan 27)
- 61% plunge (Feb 10)
- 137% spike (Feb 24)
“Solana captivates the interest of crypto traders across the globe,” remarked the ever-astute Greg Waisman, Co-founder and COO at Mercuryo. “As Solana celebrates its fifth birthday, our transaction data on Tether tokens suggests an unparalleled level of trading activity amid an explosion of interest in trading opportunities on Solana that we’ve seen over the past 12 months.”
Moreover, one cannot ignore the delightful frenzy surrounding meme coins, which has significantly fueled Solana’s trading volume. Enthusiastic holders of Solana have been employing their tokens to procure such whimsical currencies as dogwifhat (WIF) and Bonk (BONK). Meanwhile, the platform Pump.fun has generated a staggering $540 million in revenue over the past year, surpassing even Ethereum in trading volume on numerous occasions. Truly, this is a clear indication of Solana’s burgeoning role in the delightful world of meme coins! 😂
