For the first time in crypto history, Solana’s blockchain managed to flip Ethereum in monthly DEX volume, according to data from DefiLlama.

Arbitrum was ranked third with $24.569 billion (2 times smaller volume), followed by BSC with $17.888 billion and Base with $15.554 billion.
The total DEX volume for July reached $190.443 billion – a 17.6% increase from June’s $156.879 billion.
