Solana’s Resilience Amidst Cryptocurrency Market Downturn
The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant downturn over the weekend, with Solana’s price dropping below the $200 mark in a swift pullback. However, the Solana network’s on-chain activity remained robust, showcasing its resilience despite market volatility.
Solana Network’s Strength During Market Volatility
As the broader cryptocurrency market faced a substantial bearish wave, the Solana blockchain demonstrated remarkable resilience. According to SolanaFloor’s report on the social media platform X, the network maintained strong performance metrics, defying its price movement.

During the most significant cryptocurrency liquidation event in history, Solana continued to perform admirably, with median fees remaining low. This underscores Solana’s growing reputation as a highly scalable and robust blockchain network. In contrast, Ethereum layer 2s experienced mainnet fee increases, with Arbitrum gas fees surging to around $100 per transaction.
Technological Advancements and Network Efficiency
Solana’s impressive performance metrics continue to captivate the crypto community. The blockchain recently experienced a surge in raw transactions, surpassing most major blockchains in throughput. This highlights Solana’s technological advantage in scalability and efficiency.
Data from SolanaFloor indicates that Solana’s raw transactions surged to an impressive 6,000 to 10,000 per second. This surge in transactions points to increased developer adoption, heightened NFT engagement, and active participation in Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
Furthermore, SolanaFloor reported that network utilization reached nearly 60 CUs per block, while median transaction fees remained low. This positions Solana as a leading platform for blockchain applications, known for its outstanding performance.
Rising Trading Volumes on Solana’s Decentralized Exchanges
Amidst the largest crypto liquidation event in history, which saw billions wiped from major exchanges, Solana’s Decentralized Perpetual Exchanges (perp DEXs) achieved an unprecedented milestone.
In another update on X, SolanaFloor revealed that the blockchain’s perp DEXs recorded their highest-ever trading volume, exceeding $4.49 billion. This notable expansion signifies a growing DeFi ecosystem on Solana, driven by low transaction costs, rapid processing speeds, and increasing institutional involvement.
Trading Volume Milestones
According to SolanaFloor’s report, Jupiter Exchange led the surge in perp DEX trading volume, recording a volume of $2.34 billion. This surge occurred as traders rushed to reposition themselves amid extreme market volatility.
During the massive liquidation event, Solana’s DEXs processed a substantial trading volume wave. SolanaFloor disclosed that more than $8 billion was processed in trading volume, with Orca leading the way. Orca achieved the highest trading volume at $2.49 billion, securing the top spot. Additionally, a combination of four Solana DEXs surpassed $1 billion in trading volume over a 24-hour period.
