Can Solana’s $1T DEX Volume Push SOL Past $200? 🚀

by

Key takeaways

Solana’s DEX volume surpassed $1 trillion in 2025, with 234% futures growth and rising whale accumulation. Strong momentum and improving sentiment suggest a potential rally toward the $200 price milestone. 🧵

Earlier this year, Solana [SOL] was labeled a fading asset. But now, the numbers tell a different story—like a phoenix that’s 100% sure it’s a flamingo. 🦜

So far in 2025, DEX volume on the Solana network has exceeded $1 trillion, surpassing the total trading volume it recorded during all of 2024. That’s like winning the lottery twice, then using the winnings to buy the lottery. 🎰

That growth, while largely under the radar, signals a significant resurgence in real network usage. Or as I like to call it, “the crypto version of a midlife crisis.” 🧠

At the same time, trading in Solana-based perpetual futures has jumped 234%, showing that experienced traders are re-engaging with the ecosystem, this time with leverage and conviction, rather than passive interest. It’s like they finally remembered they’re not in a crypto “I’ll get around to it” phase. 💸

Whales are making moves

Solana’s recent volume spike hasn’t gone unnoticed by major players. The whales are circling like seagulls at a picnic, but this time, they’re not here for the sandwiches. 🐋

According to AMBCrypto’s analysis of CryptoQuant’s order book data, large whale orders are rising sharply at current price levels, signaling accumulation rather than exit. It’s like watching a pack of wolves quietly plotting a heist. 🐺

Historically, such deliberate accumulation by whales and institutions often precedes strong price moves and challenges the idea that Solana is still unstable. Or as I’d say, “Solana’s not dead—it’s just taking a nap, and it’s really good at it.” 🛌

In fact, the current positioning suggests that many investors view this moment as a buying opportunity, not a risk. Because nothing says “smart” like jumping into a market that’s been compared to a rollercoaster with a broken safety bar. 🎢

 If momentum continues, this accumulation could soon be reflected in SOL’s price action. Or, as I like to call it, “the day Solana finally stops being the underdog and becomes the overdog… but still a bit confused.” 🐾

Can the momentum push Solana to $200?

Traders and investors are asking whether Solana’s current bullish rally can push its price past the $200 milestone. It’s the crypto equivalent of asking if a toddler can finish a marathon. 🏃‍♂️

With surging network volume, improving sentiment, and steady whale accumulation, Solana is showing the kind of momentum that could support a deeper rally. Or as I’d put it, “Solana’s not just bouncing—it’s doing backflips while juggling confetti.” 🎉

However, reaching $200 will require more than hype; it needs sustained volume, favorable macro conditions, and broad investor conviction. Which is like saying you need a recipe, ingredients, and a functioning oven to bake a cake. 🍰

Based on current signals, though, a move toward $200 is well within reach. Or as my grandma would say, “If you can’t beat them, join them… and then try to outshine them with a better spreadsheet.” 📊
