Did Solana’s $4.86B TVL milestone impact SOL’s price?

• Solana dominated other chains in volume.
• TVL was close to its all-time high.

Solana [SOL] has demonstrated a dominant performance in transaction volume. Compared to other notable blockchains, such as Binance Chain and Tron [TRX], it has recorded more transactions over the last 30 days.

This indicated a significant increase in activity and usage of the network, with the only other network showing a slightly significant trend being SUI.

Solana volume shows growth 

AMBCrypto’s examination of Solana’s volume on DefiLlama revealed a significant pickup in volume over the past few months. Compared to previous years, the network has experienced considerable volume.

This is indicative of increased activity this year. 

In March, the volume surged to over $3 billion before gradually declining but maintaining levels around the $1 billion mark. As of this writing, the volume was almost $1.5 billion.

The notable increase in transaction volume may not be surprising given the recent proliferation of meme coins launched on the network.

Impact on the Solana TVL?

Similar to transaction volume, the Total Value Locked (TVL) on the Solana network has also experienced significant growth this year.

Analysis of the chart on DefiLlama revealed that as of the 22nd of May, the TVL surged to over $4.9 billion, marking its highest point in history. 

Although it has slightly declined since reaching this peak, it remained close to this record level. As of this writing, the TVL was around $4.86 billion, just a few million dollars below its all-time high.

The growth in TVL has been supported by the launch of new assets on the Solana network. Additionally, the upward trend observed in SOL over the past few months has also contributed to this increase in TVL.
