Solana Dominates DEX Volumes with $125B Monthly Trading Surge
Solana (SOL) is capturing the spotlight once again as a surge in liquidity inflows, rising on-chain activity, and increasing investor confidence push the network closer to retesting its September high of $253.
Liquidity Inflows Signal Strong Demand
In recent months, Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has seen consistent growth, with $1.1 billion added on-chain in September alone. Since March, the network has welcomed $5.9 billion in fresh inflows, according to DeFiLlama. This steady rise in capital commitment is seen by many as a reflection of long-term belief in Solana’s ecosystem.
Additionally, the stablecoin supply on Solana has surged. Over the past week, $1.445 billion worth of stablecoins were added, pushing the total from $10.47 billion in June to over $14.8 billion. This increase in stablecoin presence enhances liquidity, laying a stronger foundation for network utility and engagement.
Exchange Volume Surges, Driven by Derivatives
Solana’s exchange activity is also booming. Over the past 30 days, the network recorded $125.62 billion in trading volume—outperforming all other blockchains. A significant portion of this came from decentralized exchanges (DEXs), with perpetual exchanges alone contributing $43.61 billion.
September’s DEX trading volume marked the highest levels since January 2025, reinforcing Solana’s growing presence in the DeFi space and its expanding user base.
Asset Migration Highlights Investor Trust
Perhaps the clearest indicator of rising confidence is the sharp uptick in bridge netflows. After bottoming out at $23.29 billion in March, net inflows have rebounded to $44.03 billion, suggesting a significant migration of assets from other blockchains to Solana.
This trend underscores a positive long-term outlook for SOL, driven by growing usage, liquidity depth, and a vibrant, active ecosystem.
