Solana continued to lead all Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains in weekly decentralized-exchange volume for the 17th consecutive week. Its decentralized exchanges also posted higher weekly spot volumes than Bybit, Coinbase and Kraken for the ninth consecutive week, ranking second only to Binance on DeFiLlama data for the week ending August 24. Daily DEX volume exceeded $6 billion each day from August 19 through August 24 and reached $7.47 billion on one session, with 191.3 million trades across 403,178 active markets on 81 programs. Jupiter routed $5.39 billion through aggregators, while Orca, Meteora and Raydium led direct venues. Solana is trading between $95 and $101, with a market capitalization in the mid-$50 billion range, and prediction-market odds of reaching $160 in August stand at 1%. Inflows into Solana-based ETFs and ecosystem developments, including leveraged-market integration into its mobile wallet, could influence sentiment and institutional interest.
