Solana News Today: Solana DEX Volume Surpasses $1 Trillion in 2025, 234% Jump in Futures Trading

Solana’s decentralized exchange (DEX) volume has surpassed $1 trillion in 2025, marking a significant milestone for the blockchain network. This surge in volume, which exceeds the total trading volume recorded in 2024, indicates a substantial resurgence in real network usage. The growth, though largely under the radar, suggests a renewed interest and engagement within the Solana ecosystem.

In addition to the DEX volume, trading in Solana-based perpetual futures has seen a remarkable 234% increase. This jump in trading activity shows that experienced traders are re-engaging with the ecosystem, this time with leverage and conviction, rather than passive interest. The rising whale accumulation further supports this trend, as major players are making significant moves at current price levels, signaling accumulation rather than exit. Historically, such deliberate accumulation by whales and institutions often precedes strong price moves, challenging the notion that Solana is still unstable. Many investors view this moment as a buying opportunity, not a risk, and if momentum continues, this accumulation could soon be reflected in SOL’s price action.

With surging network volume, improving sentiment, and steady whale accumulation, Solana is showing the kind of momentum that could support a deeper rally. Traders and investors are asking whether Solana’s current bullish rally can push its price past the $200 milestone. However, reaching $200 will require more than hype; it needs sustained volume, favorable macro conditions, and broad investor conviction. Based on current signals, though, a move toward $200 is well within reach.
