Last week, <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/can-solana-flip-tether-analysts-eye-270-price-as-key-benchmark/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana’s DEX volume</a> reached about $41.2 billion, a notable rise from previous records of $17.5 billion in March and $18 billion the week prior. 
This indicates robust engagement and a growing preference for Solana’s decentralized financial (DeFi) capabilities.
Moreover, despite a temporary price dip where SOL fell to $230, it quickly rebounded to around $242, showcasing the volatility and rapid recovery typical in crypto markets. Analysts, including one referred to as Titan of Crypto, predict potential further gains for Solana.&nbsp;
