๐ฐ TVL Boom โ Solana DeFi grew +30.4% QoQ to $8.6B, making it the #2 DeFi network.
๐ DEX Volumes Drop โ Spot trading slipped -45.4% as memecoin hype cooled.
๐ต Stablecoins Adjust โ Market dipped to $10.3B (still 3rd largest). USDC held 69.5% share, while USDT sat at $2.3B.
๐ช Liquid Staking โ Jumped +16.8% to 12.2%, with 64.8% of SOL staked.
๐จ NFTs โ Volume fell -46.4%, but Solana still dominates creator royalties.
โก Network Activity โ 99.1M transactions (+4%) with avg. fee just $0.01.
๐ Market Cap โ Circulating value hit $82.8B, ranking #6 globally.
