The crypto market reacted coldly to the latest macroeconomic announcements. Following the Fed’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged, Solana’s price initiated a violent retracement<\/strong>, losing 8% of its value to settle around the $115<\/strong> zone. This short-term bearish<\/strong> movement reflects investor uncertainty regarding monetary policy, triggering liquidations on long positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, fundamental data analysis tells a completely different story. While the price drops, network usage is soaring. Solana<\/a> recorded a trading volume on its decentralized exchanges (DEX) approaching $4 billion<\/strong>. This divergence between price and volume is often closely monitored by analysts: a price drop accompanied by massive network activity can sometimes signal capitulation<\/strong> before a rebound, or conversely, massive distribution by whales<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A striking fact during this volatile period: Solana once again surpassed Ethereum<\/a> in terms of daily activity. This performance underscores the resilience of the Solana ecosystem which, despite selling pressure on its native token, continues to attract traders and DeFi protocols. This dynamism is a key indicator for smart money<\/strong> seeking to identify the most actively used blockchains<\/a>, beyond pure speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSolana vs Ethereum: The Battle for Volume Continues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
