By: Isha Das

Solana's native cryptocurrency, SOL, and its decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have seen impressive growth in recent days. SOL has climbed from around $180 to over $210, showing no signs of slowing down. The upward momentum sees Solana breaking past previous resistance levels and hints at the possibility of achieving new highs. Key indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) further consolidate the network's bullish stance in the market.

Solana's decentralized exchanges have also experienced a surge in trading volume, signifying an increase in organic activity and enthusiasm for the network. The number of traders has grown to over 5.8 million, pushing the total value locked across its DEXs to $1.2 billion. The DEX volumes have marked incredible growth from $4.6 billion at the start of the year to $26.7 billion on March 18, pointing to intense market participation. Among the ecosystem's DEXs, Raydium has emerged as the preferred platform for Solana traders, recognizing remarkable volumes, and securing a leading position in the market.

The evident organic growth accompanied by the significant role of bots in driving up trading volumes establishes that the Solana network is prospering. Its ability to attract high levels of engagement and liquidity sets it apart in the DeFi landscape, paving its path to becoming a dominant player in the ecosystem.
