Solana has taken the top spot, leading Ethereum in daily decentralized trading volume amid a 3.5% price surge.
Solana and Ethereum networks account for 57% of the total trading volume from the top 10 decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in the market. In the past 24 hours, Solana has seen its DEX trading volume steadily rise, pulling ahead of Ethereum to lead the DEX pack.
According to data shared by Crypto Rand on CoinMarketCap, Solana’s 24-hour DEX volume hit $2.774 billion while Ethereum rallied behind holding 2.744 billion.

Why is Solana’s price and DEX volume surging?
Solana’s fast transaction speed and lower gas fees could be enticing for traders following a week of market frustration fueled by the global trade war. Users are likely hunting for cheaper and quicker alternatives to Ethereum-based DEXs, for instance, Jupiter and Raydium.
Despite lagging behind Solana in the past 24 hours, Ethereum remains unshakable as a DEX powerhouse in the market.
