Solana Flips Ethereum in DEX Volume

Solana chain has surpassed Ethereum chain in DEX volume for the first time in history, according to DeFiLlama data as of December 16. The Solana proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain was founded by Solana Labs, which was co-founded by Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal in 2018.

Numerous factors contributed to the achievement of the milestone. It includes massive buying of Solana Mobile, huge trading volumes on Solana-based dog-themed meme coin Bonk, and bullish sentiment on the Solana ecosystem.

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire calls it a “big day for Solana” as it flips Ethereum and Saga Mobile gets sold out. Solana’s Raj Gokal also reacted to these milestones, saying “Incredible milestone. 6 years in, just getting started!”

Anatoly Yakovenko said he agrees that Solana is better than Ethereum and developers have contributed immensely to the success of Solana. The ecosystem is underway for further improvements with “Solana DeFi 2.0.”
