CoinGecko states:
“DEX trading activity continued to flourish on Solana, buoyed by the multitude of meme coins. It ended September with a 22% market share and $21.5 billion in volume.”
The data platform also added that the market capitalization of Solana-based meme coins has exceeded $11.2 billion. Their daily trading volume is currently close to $4 billion.
One of the top contributors to Solana’s TVL growth is Raydium, a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) on the platform. For almost every $1 billion increase in TVL that Solana saw this October, Raydium accounted for approximately 60% of it. The ongoing hype for meme coin has contributed to the increasing trading demand on Raydium. Fortunately for the DEX, there is no sign that this trend will end soon.
Even Kaito recently revealed that meme coins had hit a new peak in mindshare.
Daily New Addresses on Solana Reach 4 Million
According to data from IntoTheBlock, Solana’s daily active addresses (DAA) are also soaring.
On certain days in October, the network registered more than 4 million active addresses. This metric consistently showed great prospects in September when it maintained above 3 million per day. Also, over 4 million new addresses are created on the Solana network daily.
This explicitly underscores the growing demand from new users and fresh capital inflows into the project. Although SOL has yet to break out to a new All-Time High (ATH) recently, these trends are signals of a potential price rally for the altcoin.
If the market can sustain buying, the price of SOL could surge further by 25% to hit $180. This sentiment would challenge the triangle resistance for the pennant pattern.
From a technical standpoint, analysts discovered that SOL faces significant resistance at $159. If it can break past this level, it could reach $200 in the long term.
