Memecoin Boom Drives Decentralized Exchange Trading to Record Levels

A recent surge in memecoin trading has resulted in unprecedented volumes on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), according to new data. Solana stands out as the leading DEX platform, holding a 40% share of trades in this space. This boom highlights speculative behavior impacting market stability and volatility. Memecoin market capitalization declined by $5 billion within a single day, while DeFi TVL saw a significant drop of 27.5%. Experts warn of short-term market instability as these trends continue to shape trader preferences and financial markets.
