Solana Outperforms Ethereum in DEX transaction volume, yet SOL traders lack interest

In September 2025, Solana achieved $241 billion in DEX throughput, surpassing Ethereum’s $234 billion. Despite high transaction activity, 96% of addresses are inactive within a day, indicating low long-term engagement.

While Solana’s transaction fees are significantly lower, only 0.2% of addresses have been active for over a year. This suggests a focus on short-term trading rather than sustained investment in SOL.
