Solana is back on top. After watching Robinhood Chain steal the daily DEX volume crown earlier this summer, Solana has reclaimed the lead with roughly $3.25 billion in 24-hour decentralized exchange volume, compared to Robinhood Chain’s $2.72 billion, according to DefiLlama data.
That’s a gap of about $530 million, which sounds comfortable until you remember Robinhood Chain didn’t even exist three months ago.
The rematch nobody expected this soon
Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet on July 1, 2026, and wasted no time making noise. Within weeks of going live, the network briefly overtook Solana in daily DEX trading volume.
The initial surge was fueled by meme coin mania mixed with Robinhood Chain’s stated purpose of tokenizing real-world assets.
