What else is known? Analyst Andrew Hong, citing on-chain data from the Dune platform, reports that meme tokens are among the top five Solana-based assets in terms of transaction volume, following the USDC and USDT stablecoin pairs, as well as the native token SOL.

During the December crypto market rally, the value of many Solana-based meme coins skyrocketed. For example, as of January, the “dog” meme coin BONK was up more than 7000% from its price a year ago.

According to data from aggregator CoinGecko, BONK and dogwifhat (WIF) coins lead the ranking of meme tokens on Solana in terms of daily trading volume with figures of $467,3 million and $65 million, respectively.

At the end of last year, Solana overtook Ethereum in popularity on Google, and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) based on it also demonstrated the best result in terms of trading volumes.

In addition, in December, the number of new addresses on the Solana network updated the record at 6,8 million. Also during the year, the Solana team recorded more than 2500 active developers every month.
