Solana DEX volume plummets as BONK loses hype

Trading volume on the decentralized exchange (DEX) running on the Solana network has dropped rapidly from its January highs as interest in the Bonk (BONK) token dwindles.

On-chain data from DeFiLlama shows that on February 10, the trading volume of Solana-based DEXs dropped to $41.58 million, down 27% from the previous month. At the time, the relatively new dog-themed token surged more than 3,000% in market cap to hit an all-time high (ATH).

The launch of BONK in January also impacted the number of active SOL wallets, bringing them to pre-FTX levels.
