SOL Solana consolidates its position as a leader in DEX, surpassing traditional exchanges in transaction volume
Solana has consolidated its leading position in decentralized exchange (DEX) activities, surpassing not only other blockchains, but even some mature centralized exchanges. Recently, active transactions on platforms such as Meteora and PumpSwap have driven significant growth in DEX transaction volume and user engagement.
Solana holds top spot in DEX market share
Currently, Solana accounts for approximately 20% of all spot DEX transactions. Although activity levels remain below the peak of the 2021 bull market, the network maintains a stable baseline and continues to attract new attention. DEX on Solana has now surpassed platforms such as Bybit, and the top five blockchains are competing fiercely for higher token trading volumes-including the growing field of tokenized securities trading.
An important factor in Solana's steady growth is the continued inflow of stablecoins from major and small issuers. In the past day,$300 million in new USDC liquidity has been injected into the network, boosting liquidity and trading activity.
The following is a comparison of weekly DEX spot trading volume by chain/exchange:
Solana: US$10.29 billion
Ethereum: US$6.7 billion
BNB Chain: US$5.8 billion
NYSE American: US$6 billion
The increase in the supply of meme tokens and the promotion of tokenized securities continue to make Solana stand out in the competitive chain.
MetaMask provides Gas fee subsidy for Solana trading
MetaMask, the widely used multi-chain crypto wallet, has introduced a new incentive for users to participate in Solana transactions. The wallet will pay Gas fees for all transactions over $200, lowering the threshold for retail traders who do not hold SOL tokens. "No SOL? Leave it to us. MetaMask will pay Gas fees for transactions over $200 on Solana." MetaMask said in its latest announcement.
This update comes at a time when retail participation on Solana remains strong, with a failed transaction rate of about 23%. Tools for retail investors such as Jupiter's routing service and the redemption solution built into Phantom Wallet further facilitate users 'access to spot transactions.
Currently, Solana offers predictable and competitive average DEX transaction fees of just US$0.19, making it more attractive to newcomers, especially compared to mature networks such as Ethereum and BNB Chain.
Solana surpasses traditional exchange trading volume
Although overall activity on Solana is still lower than the traditional fiat market, its influence in the digital asset space is increasingly significant. Since 2026, Solana's weekly spot DEX trading volume continues to exceed NYSE American, and the decentralized trading volume on Solana reached US$10.29 billion last week.
The continued growth in trading volume is mainly due to the PumpSwap token and the rapidly expanding tokenized stock market. In the second quarter of 2026, tokenized assets on Solana increased to US$5.77 billion, a month-on-month increase of 114%. Tokenized stocks account for 84% of these real-world assets, and their growth momentum has continued for six quarters.
As of June 23, tokenized asset trading surpassed meme tokens for the first time and became Solana's primary use. This shift demonstrates Solana's growing appeal to institutional traders and large players seeking a strong settlement layer.
These tokenized stocks have also brought significant value to the lending space on Solana, with weekly collateral records reaching US$51.9 million-of which US$31 million was in Kamino and US$20 million was in Jupiter's lending platform.
Compared to the competitive chain, Solana is more novice friendly, combining fast transaction speeds, low and predictable fees, and an active combination of retail and institutional activities.
