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.
