Solana's decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume plummeted about 82% in two weeks, dropping from $104.3 billion to $18.8 billion, driven by a sharp decline in new meme coin launches that once fueled speculative trading. The largest DEX, Meteora, saw its volume fall by over $80 billion, reflecting a broad market slowdown rather than isolated issues. Concurrently, a key group of Solana holders who acquired coins during the 2024-2025 boom began selling their stakes, overlapping with the volume collapse. This signals a potential shift in Solana's trading dynamics as the meme coin-driven speculative engine stalls, raising questions about the network's near-term outlook.
