News Brief
Solana’s on‑chain spot trading volume surged to $1.6 trillion in 2025, surpassing every centralized exchange (CEX) except Binance, according to aggregated market data.
Solana’s on‑chain spot trading volume surged to $1.6 trillion in 2025, surpassing every centralized exchange (CEX) except Binance, according to aggregated market data.
Key Numbers
- Solana on‑chain spot volume (2025): $1.6T
- Market share growth: 1% → 12% since 2022
- Binance market share: 80% → 55% over the same period
Why This Is a Big Deal
This marks a structural shift in how crypto trading is happening:
- On‑chain venues are now competing directly with top CEXs on raw volume
- Solana has become the dominant high‑throughput chain for spot trading
- Liquidity is fragmenting away from a single centralized hub
Only Binance—by far the largest global exchange—still clears more spot volume than Solana’s entire on‑chain ecosystem.
What’s Driving Solana’s Rise
- Ultra‑low fees and fast finality, enabling high‑frequency on‑chain trading
- Growth of order‑book and AMM‑hybrid DEXs
- Improved UX that rivals centralized exchanges
- Retail‑driven activity alongside increasing professional participation
Market Structure Implications
- DEX vs. CEX convergence: On‑chain trading is no longer niche or illiquid
- Custody shift: More volume is happening without users giving up asset control
- Pressure on CEXs: Fee compression and declining dominance outside Binance
The Binance Angle
While Binance remains the largest venue, its declining share—from ~80% to ~55%—highlights:
- Regulatory pressure
- Geographic fragmentation
- Rising competition from both DEXs and other CEXs
Bottom Line
With $1.6T in annual on‑chain spot volume, Solana has crossed a critical threshold: on‑chain markets are now operating at CEX scale. The data signals a long‑term redistribution of trading activity—from centralized intermediaries toward high‑performance blockchains.

Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!”
The post Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, stated that there should be uniform cryptocurrency regulation in the country. At this point, Coinbase sent a letter to the US Department of Justice requesting that federal regulators prevent state regulations from conflicting with national crypto policies and ensure uniform regulatory clarity. Coinbase’s request comes after the state of Oregon filed a lawsuit against Coinbase for unregistered securities, despite the SEC withdrawing its lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange. Coinbase states that although the country’s top regulator, the SEC, withdrew its lawsuit, states are filing lawsuits in defiance of the SEC’s decision. In the letter, addressed by Coinbase Legal Counsel Paul Grewal, he stated: “Despite the Trump administration’s positive regulatory efforts, crypto companies are being negatively impacted by states’ flawed interpretations of securities laws and their divergent actions. If Oregon can sue us for services that are legal under federal law, we have a problem. It has long been clear that the current patchwork of state laws is not only inefficient, but also slows innovation and harms consumers. At this point, the Justice Department should take steps to address the pressing issues by calling on Congress to step in and enact comprehensive and uniform regulations.” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed a lawsuit against Coinbase last April, alleging that Coinbase was promoting the sale of unregistered cryptocurrencies to individuals in Oregon. *This is not investment advice.
