Solana DApps Hit Record Fees Amid Memecoin Boom

Solana-based dapps are back at the center stage, recording impressive fees in recent days.

On-chain data shows that several Solana dapps saw record revenue and fees over the weekend.

Data from DefiLlama shows that 5 of the top 10 protocols by fees were Solana-based. Raydium, a popular AMM on Solana, raked in over $11 million in fees on November 17th.

Behind Raydium was Jito Protocol, a liquid staking platform with $9.87 million in fees.

What’s behind this?

Solana’s recent resurgence is all thanks to a new wave of meme coin mania. Meme coins, driven by improved market sentiment caused by Donald Trump’s recent win, have seen a surge in market capitalization in recent days.

Recall that Solana-based meme coins took the market by storm earlier this year, recording explosive numbers. The new market surge appears to have triggered a resurgence in that part of the market. Mid-cap meme coins on Solana have surged by over 6% recently.

On the other hand, Solana has reached a major milestone, hitting its highest-ever weekly real economic value activity. This achievement highlights the growing adoption and use of Solana’s blockchain for real-world applications, including decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and payment solutions. As developers and users flock to the platform, Solana’s record-breaking week solidifies its position as a major player in the crypto space, paving the way for further innovation and growth.

Is a New ATH Next for SOL?

$SOL has pumped 54% in the last 30 days and 17% in the last 7 days alone. $SOL is only 5% away from its all-time high of 260.06, which it hit in the last bull run. Judging by its recent growth trend, crypto experts expect Solana to crush its previous ATH and establish a new one.

Solana is no doubt profiting from the ongoing rally triggered by Donald Trump’s pro-crypto win. As previously mentioned, Solana’s ecosystem is also buzzing with growth. Pump.Fun, a meme coin launchpad on Solana, recently recorded $1.65 million in fees, its seventh-highest day of earnings.
