Solana Overtakes Ethereum in RWA and DEX Volumes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first quarter of 2026 has just delivered its figures, and they deserve close attention. Solana<\/a> is no longer just the “fast and cheap” network that Ethereum<\/a> skeptics have long downplayed. Data from the Blockworks Advisory Q1 Token Holder report reveals a structural shift that few observers anticipated this early: for the first time, Solana has surpassed Ethereum in real world asset lending deposits, the well known RWAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RWA deposits on Solana<\/a> reached $1.23 billion<\/strong> in Q1 2026, representing a +115%<\/strong> surge in a single quarter. Ethereum posted $1.13 billion<\/strong>, confirming that the trend has reversed. This is no minor technical detail: RWAs attract institutional capital seeking yield anchored in the real world, tokenized stocks, fixed income products, and fractional real estate. The fact that these flows are now prioritizing Solana speaks volumes about the perceived maturity of the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the decentralized trading arena, the volumes speak for themselves. With a 41% market share<\/strong> in DEX volumes in Q1 2026 and $284.5 billion<\/strong> processed, Solana outperforms Ethereum and all of its combined Layer 2s. The network handled 10.1 billion transactions<\/strong> over the period, with median fees maintained around $0.0005<\/strong>, whereas Ethereum hit peaks of $8.67<\/strong> during volatile phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RWAs are becoming a more meaningful part of @solana<\/a>'s lending base.
