User Activity Report Shows Rapid Growth for Solana, While BNB Chain Slips

2025/11/16 20:37

Key Takeaways:

  • Solana and Polygon saw the fastest growth in weekly active users.
  • BNB Chain still holds the largest user base overall.
  • Several networks, including Sei and PancakeSwap, recorded sharp declines. 

Instead of price action or hype cycles, the latest snapshot shows that user activity — measured by unique wallet participation across a seven-day period — is becoming the clearest indicator of which ecosystems are capturing real adoption.

The Race for On-Chain Attention

The rankings highlight a crowded leaderboard rather than a single runaway winner. BNB Chain still commands the largest audience, topping more than 17 million active users for the week, but the data also shows that its dominance is no longer translating into momentum. User totals remain massive, yet activity slipped compared to the prior period — a signal that the gap between BNB Chain and fast-growing competitors is narrowing rather than widening.

Meanwhile, NEAR and Solana have solidified themselves as BNB Chain’s most serious challengers. NEAR sits just behind the leader with more than 15 million weekly users, while Solana has posted the most rapid acceleration among major networks — surging roughly a quarter in a single week. Solana’s footprint now surpasses 12 million weekly users, showing that adoption is not cooling despite volatility elsewhere in crypto.

Surprises From the Middle of the Table

The mid-tier rankings delivered the biggest plot twist. Polygon staged the strongest comeback of the week, recording an increase of more than 60% in active users — the largest jump among the top networks. Aptos and Jito also posted noticeable gains, supporting the trend that high-throughput chains designed around consumer utility and DeFi efficiency are capturing steady engagement.

Despite remaining active ecosystems, Sei Network, PancakeSwap and Uniswap slipped sharply, reflecting how usage can quickly contract when activity relies heavily on speculative flows rather than sticky application demand.

The Broader Pattern Behind the Numbers

The clearest takeaway is that Layer-1 ecosystems continue to draw the most consistent user commitment. Even though Bitcoin, Ethereum and Base retain millions of weekly users, this week’s biggest gains were concentrated on high-performance L1s rather than application-only networks. The results also underline that user behavior is evolving — chains with the best throughput and lowest friction are pulling in the largest share of everyday activity.

With Solana’s rapid climb, NEAR’s sustained scale, BNB Chain’s huge but stabilizing footprint, and Polygon’s sudden surge, blockchain user demand has become more competitive than ever. If current trends continue, the contest for long-term adoption will depend less on branding — and more on which networks consistently deliver fast, cheap, and reliable settlement for real users.

The post USD mixed ahead of key FOMC decision – Scotiabank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar (USD) is narrowly mixed in quiet trade as investors await this week’s key event—Wednesday’s FOMC decision, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report. Markets weigh Fed cuts against sticky inflation “Stocks are churning in tight ranges while global bonds are softer as investors consider fading rate cut prospects outside of the US. European bond yields are up 4-5bps following hawkish comments from the ECB Governor Schnabel with Friday’s jump in Canadian bond yields adding to that momentum.” “The Fed is widely expected to cut rates this week, however, and give markets a little more insight into how a deeply divided policy-making body expects the key rate changes to unfold in the year ahead via updated dots and economic forecasts. More rate cuts are expected in 2026 but markets are having to balance expectations between sticky US inflation and the expected dovish shift in the Fed leadership next year.” “”The USD retains a sluggish undertone, meanwhile, and may need to find some hawkish nuggets in the Fed’s communications this week to avoid slipping further in what remains a weak period of the year for the USD overall from a seasonal point of view. The DXY is consolidating on the charts, with a tight trading range (potential bear flag pattern) developing between 98.8 (bear trigger) and 99.2 (short-term resistance).” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/usd-mixed-ahead-of-key-fomc-decision-scotiabank-202512081336

Risk back on the table as crypto ETFs bounce back

Risk back on the table as crypto ETFs bounce back

The post Risk back on the table as crypto ETFs bounce back appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Today, we break down the BTC move over the past week, how ETFs have seen net inflows for the first time in nearly four weeks, and application and chain revenue. We also look into who President Trump’s next Federal Reserve Chair nominee might be. Indices BTC bounced off $85,000 lows, and is back up to $92,000. Over the past three weeks, BTC has increased 5%, with significant volatility throughout. In particular, BTC has been underperforming through the EU session, while outperforming in the US and APAC sessions. Over the past week, oracles, lending and Ethereum ecosystem tokens performed well, with each up just over 4%. Crypto equities performed the best, up 6.7%, primarily due to outperformance by HOOD.   The Nasdaq 100 (+1.70%) and S&P 500 (+0.78%) continue to grind up, while Gold underperforms slightly (-0.85%). In terms of worst-performing, gaming has outperformed significantly toward the downside, with -23% returns over the past week. LGCT was the worst performer, and declined in price by -75% over the past week.  Charts for The Week Odds have surged (up to 78% on Kalshi) that Kevin Hassett will be President Trump’s next Federal Reserve chair nominee, an announcement Trump recently confirmed is imminent. Hassett, a close White House ally, is favored because he aligns with the president’s demand for much lower interest rates to provide cheaper consumer loans and mortgages. Bitcoin ETF flows reversed sharply in November, posting significant net outflows after a steady run of inflows from May through October. The month saw roughly $3.46 billion in redemptions, completely erasing the $3.42 billion in new inflows seen last month and the worst outflows since February 2025 ($3.56 billion). The reversal highlights how quickly sentiment deteriorated despite months of strong accumulation.…
