The data from DeFiLlama corroborated this surge, indicating a monumental 54% spike in trading volume across Solana’s centralized DEX platforms in the past week alone, rocketing to an impressive $3 billion. This surge catapulted Solana’s DEX ecosystem to a new pinnacle, outpacing its previous records. Notably, leading DEXs like Orca and Raydium witnessed growth rates exceeding 70%, contributing significantly to Solana’s ascent.
Currently, Solana stands as the third-largest chain in terms of weekly transaction volume, trailing behind Ethereum, which boasts a transaction volume of $9.97 billion, and Arbitrum with $4.49 billion.
Beyond the trading volume surge, the token prices of top DEX platforms within the Solana ecosystem, such as Raydium and Orca, experienced a remarkable upsurge of nearly 20% over the past seven days. Amidst this vibrant network activity, Solana’s memecoin project, Bonk (BONK), made headlines by skyrocketing nearly 100% in a week, amassing a trading volume of over $103 million within 24 hours. Astonishingly, this project has surged by a staggering 2477%—equivalent to 24 times—just within the past month.

As of the time of writing, SOL is trading around the $60 mark, largely fueled by significant updates introduced at Solana Breakpoint 2023 and commendations from prominent stock market maven Cathie Wood.
