Solana overtakes major CEXs with $1.6T spot volume – Details

Solana recorded the second-highest spot trading volume in 2025, reaching $1.6 trillion, surpassing all major centralized exchanges except Binance. This represents a significant shift, as Solana's share of total spot activity grew from barely 1% three years ago to 12% by January 4th, 2025. The change reflects a gradual migration of liquidity toward faster and cheaper blockchain networks. This growth is supported by an increase in stablecoin supply on Solana, which has risen alongside its trading volumes. While Ethereum still holds the largest stablecoin share and Tron remains a major hub, Solana is quickly closing the gap. Stablecoins serve as essential fuel for spot trading, creating a reinforcing cycle where liquidity attracts volume and volume sustains liquidity. Additionally, SOL's price has shown strong momentum, breaking above $130 after a period of consolidation. Technical indicators, including an RSI around 58, a move above the 20-day moving average, and a positive MACD, suggest continued upward potential. Overall, Solana’s performance highlights the growing role of high-performance blockchains as serious competitors to centralized exchanges, contributing to a more fragmented and decentralized market structure.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) fell toward $25 due to profit-taking and repeated rejections at resistance. Monero (XMR) pulled back to $420 after a rejection at $450.

Crypto Phishing Losses Crash By 83% In 2025 – Details

Crypto phishing losses plummeted by 83% in 2025, falling from $494 million to $83.85 million, with victim count dropping 68% to 106,106. Despite the decline, Web3 security firm Scam Sniffer warns this does not indicate reduced threat levels, as losses correlated with market activity—peaking in Q3 during high user engagement. A new threat emerged with EIP-7702 exploits, enabling bundled malicious transactions via account abstraction. Permit/Permit2 signatures remained the leading attack method, responsible for 38% of large-case losses. Major incidents included a $1.46 billion breach by the Lazarus group. While reported losses fell, attackers may be shifting to harder-to-track methods like private key theft or targeted social engineering.

Solana 2025 Report Card: Annual Revenue of $1.5 Billion, Surpassing the Combined Total of 'Hyperliquid + Ethereum'

Solana's 2025 Performance: A Record-Breaking Year with $1.5B in Revenue In 2025, Solana emerged as the top-performing blockchain network, generating a total revenue of $1.5 billion, surpassing the combined revenue of Hyperliquid and Ethereum. According to Nansen, its on-chain fee income alone reached $603 million, exceeding that of Tron and Ethereum and securing its position as the leader in public blockchain earnings. Key metrics underscored Solana's dominance: it recorded over 10.5 billion active addresses and approximately 23.01 billion transactions, both figures leading all major blockchains. Its on-chain spot trading volume hit $1.6 trillion, surpassing all centralized exchanges except Binance, indicating a significant shift of crypto activity to on-chain platforms. Solana's revenue structure is composed of four main components: base fees (burned for deflation), priority fees (paid to validators), MEV-related income, and minor sources like storage fees. This efficient model supports high transaction volumes while maintaining a median fee below $0.01. The report highlights that public chains, Perp DEXs (like Hyperliquid with $908M revenue), and launchpads (like Pump.fun with $549M revenue) remain the most profitable crypto sectors, second only to stablecoins. Solana's growth is attributed to its scalability, low costs, and vibrant ecosystem, including meme coin trends and DeFi innovations.

BitMine Stakes $259M ETH as Validator Queue Nears 1M Ether

BitMine Immersion Technologies staked an additional 82,560 ETH (worth $259 million), bringing its total staked Ether to 544,064 ETH ($1.62 billion). This move has pushed Ethereum’s validator entry queue close to 977,000 ETH, with an estimated 17-day wait time for new validators. In contrast, exit activity remains low, reflecting strong institutional confidence in staking yields rather than liquidity. Over 29% of all ETH is now staked, with an annualized return of 2.54%. BitMine’s strategy aligns with its plan to build its own staking infrastructure, and Chairman Tom Lee supports expanding the company’s share structure to accommodate potential future growth.
