Recent data from DefiLlama revealed a sharp rise in fees generated by Solana’s decentralized applications.

Raydium [RAY], a prominent dApp on the network, recorded over $69 million in fees over the past seven days, making it the second-highest earner behind Tether [USDT].

Solana itself secured the third spot with over $49 million in fees, while other DApps like Jito and Photon also ranked among the top ten.

Notably, Pump.fun, a platform hosting many trending Solana memecoins, claimed 11th place in fee generation.

This increase aligns with the popularity of tokens such as Peanut the Squirrel [PNUT] and Goatseus Maximus [GOAT], leading the memecoin activity on Solana.

The market cap of Solana memecoins has seen notable growth, with an increase of over 10% in the last 24 hours, bringing the total to more than $21.8 billion, according to CoinGecko.
