The impressive rally of Solana<\/a> stands as a testament to the blockchain’s underlying strength and the growing confidence of investors in its capabilities.<\/p>\n This bullish momentum has not only allowed SOL to outshine some of the traditionally dominant cryptocurrencies but has also affirmed its relevance and potential within the broader digital asset ecosystem.<\/p>\n The daily user activity on Solana has increased as a result of this outstanding performance. As the year’s final quarter draws to a close, the most recent statistics reveals a noteworthy growth of about 400%. According to a recent study by on-chain data company Messari, this far outpaced Ethereum’s pitiful 3% gain.<\/p>\n The research firm claims that several protocols located within the Layer 1 (L1) blockchain network have completed a series of token airdrops, which is what is responsible for the recent rise in new demand for Solana.<\/p>\n On December 16th, the trading volume of decentralized exchanges (DEX) on Solana temporarily surpassed that of Ethereum for the first time. This occurred as the smart-contract-enabled blockchain ecosystem continued to expand.<\/p>\n According to data from DeFillama, Ethereum’s trading volume during that time was only $1.164 billion, whereas the trading volume of DEXs on the blockchain surpassed $1.5 billion.<\/p>\n One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, Bitfinex, recently tweeted about Solana’s expansion. The tweet claims that in the previous three months alone, SOL’s price has increased by more than 340%.<\/p>\n Good morning, @Solana<\/a> fam! \u2600\ufe0f Today’s a great day to celebrate the 343% growth of $SOL<\/a>.
