Over the past week, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) has emerged as a dominant force in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading, surpassing Solana in trading volume for three consecutive days. According to recent data, BSC’s trading activity ranked second only to Ethereum, highlighting its growing prominence in the crypto ecosystem.
On August 21, 2024, BSC recorded a DEX trading volume of $922.06 million, outpacing Solana’s $703.34 million. This trend continued on August 22, with BSC’s volume surging to $1.139 billion, while Solana managed $860.41 million. By August 23, BSC maintained its lead with a volume of $908.71 million, compared to Solana’s $846.74 million.
Meanwhile, Ethereum remained the leader in DEX trading volume, with daily figures consistently above both BSC and Solana. However, BSC’s sustained trading activity indicates increasing trader interest and liquidity on the network, positioning it as a formidable contender in the DeFi space.
Notably, the surging volume on BSC’s DEX has been reflected in the market value of its native token, BNB. On Saturday, August 24, BNB soared to $592 from a low of $569. On August 21, when the uptick in DEX volume against Solana was first observed, BNB traded at a low of $547.61 but advanced to $575 the same day.
By August 22, when the staggering volume of $1.139 billion was recorded, BNB added more gains, reaching $589. At press time, BNB continues to defend most of these gains, hovering around $575.
The rise in BSC’s DEX volume may be attributed to several factors, including lower transaction fees, a growing number of decentralized applications (dApps), and DeFi projects that continue to attract users and liquidity providers. This uptick in activity reinforces BSC’s role as a major player in the decentralized finance ecosystem.
