According to CoinMeta, as reported by Cryptonews, on August 21, 2026, the decentralized exchange tracked by DefiLlama (DEX) processed approximately $10.5 billion in spot transactions within 24 hours, of which Solana accounted for about $2.8 billion. Over the past 30 days, the trading volume of Solana amounted to $48.5 billion, accounting for 27% of the total market volume. Although Solana occupies a larger share of the trading volume, traders still need to pay attention to the specific liquidity conditions. On that day, PumpSwap processed about $485 million, BisonFi $466 million, Orca $307 million, Raydium $260 million, and Manifest $218 million; these five exchanges together handled about $1.74 billion, accounting for 62% of the total volume of Solana. In addition, Solana has a unique trading cost structure, requiring a fee of 5,000 lamports per transaction, and during network congestion, the priority fee may become the actual cost of trading. Traders need to pay attention to the specific order execution when choosing DEX, rather than just the number of trading pairs.
