As the overall crypto market shows positive momentum, SOL stands out as a key player in the industry.
Solana DeFi ecosystem is booming
The recent surge in interest surrounding memecoins is particularly beneficial for Solana. As the leading Layer 1 blockchain for memecoin launches, it is capitalizing on this trend.
In the last 24 hours, over 11,864 tokens were launched on Solana’s PumpDotFun platform, with only 193 tokens reaching Raydium. This influx demonstrates the significant activity occurring within Solana’s ecosystem.
Notably, 51.9% of tokens from PumpDotFun are generated on Solana, suggesting that SOL is poised to benefit from the liquidity these memecoins bring.

Moreover, the memecoin Bonk [BONK] recently surpassed Ethereum-based Floki Inu [FLOKI] in market cap, indicating that more liquidity is flowing into the Solana ecosystem.
This influx of new capital reinforces Solana’s position as a prominent player in the memecoin space.
The revenue from PumpDotFun has also surged back above $600,000 in the last 24 hours, marking the first time in 30 days that the platform has reached this milestone.
This renewed interest in memecoins is driving substantial activity on Solana.

Solana’s DeFi landscape generally thriving, with the Total Value Locked (TVL) reaching $5.33 billion. This growth can be attributed to the top ten DeFi protocols on Solana, with Jito leading at $2 billion in TVL.
Other notable protocols include Kamino, Jupiter, Marinade, and Raydium, which collectively contribute to Solana’s robust DeFi ecosystem.
As more users engage with these platforms, the overall value locked in it continues to rise.
