- 181,000 new tokens were listed on DEXs last week, with memecoin releases serving as a primary catalyst for activity.
With 89% of new tokens opting to launch on the network, Solana continues to dominate new token activity, even as Bitcoin makes headlines with new price milestones.
Given that the network processes over 41 million non-vote transactions, this surge in activity suggests continued user interest.
181,000 new tokens were listed on DEXs last week, with memecoin debuts on sites like pump.fun serving as a primary catalyst for activity. Pump.fun and other launch platforms have developed effective infrastructure for token deployment.
Only around 1% of these coins are successfully listed on Raydium, despite the large number of launches. Continued activity is supported by Solana’s capacity to manage large transaction volumes without imposing appreciable fee hikes.
Over the past week, well-known memecoins have become the best-performing cryptocurrency, trailing only large Layer 1 tokens like ETH and SOL. Despite the renewed interest in regulated products such as Bitcoin ETFs, the trend indicates that market players are still drawn to high-risk, high-reward alternatives.
We’re looking to see if the U.S. election results and Bitcoin’s new all-time highs will draw attention away from memecoins as the larger cryptocurrency market reacts. The disparity between retail interest in Solana’s memecoin community and institutional capital pouring into Bitcoin ETFs underscores the market’s widespread appeal.
In the short term, Solana’s standing as the go-to platform for new token launches seems assured thanks to its technological benefits, which include less fees and faster transaction times. The high failure rate of new tokens, however, serves as a reminder that this activity is speculative.
