On January 17, the launch of the TRUMP coin, a memecoin associated with former U. S. President Donald Trump, triggered a surge in demand for Solana's stablecoins. This frenzy led Solana’s decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to achieve a record daily trading volume of $25 billion. As a result, Solana's total stablecoin supply soared to $10 billion, doubling within weeks, with Circle's USDC leading the way by surpassing $8 billion in circulation and adding more than $4 billion just this month. Similarly, Tether's USDT increased from $917 million to $2 billion. Solana, known for its cost-effective transactions, has become a significant hub for crypto trading, especially after the TRUMP coin's introduction, which coincided with a boost in activity due to favorable developments in the ecosystem.
The trading excitement pushed Solana’s DEX volume to represent 74% of the total DEX trading across all blockchains. Consequently, Solana’s native token, SOL, rallied 20%, significantly outpacing Bitcoin’s 2% rise. This rapid growth underscores the vital role of stablecoins like USDC and USDT in the cryptocurrency marketplace. Jared Kirui, an experienced financial journalist, covers these developments in the financial sector.
