How Solana leads in DEX trading
The virtual currency industry has gone through substantial shifts since its establishment in 2009. While CEXs have served the market for several years, the emergence of DEXs marks a radical change in how virtual currencies are traded.
DEXs are gaining popularity due to their smart trading experience for users. CEXs function as middlemen, facilitating transactions on behalf of customers and acting as caretakers by storing and securing customer funds. On the other hand, DEXs are markets where users can transact tokens without the involvement of any middlemen or third parties.
Solana has solidified its status as a leader in DEX trading. With its platform thriving on strong decentralized exchanges operating on the network, Solana has continued to outperform rivals like Ether in the context of transaction volume and market dominance. The latest trends, especially the memecoin trading craze, have further magnified Solana’s domination.
Despite upgrades in the network, Ether still faces significant challenges. Setbacks including slower transaction speed and higher gas fees in the network are some of the issues that prompt users to look for alternatives. Solana’s capability to provide almost-instant settlement and low fees has attracted a huge customer base.
