Since January 2024, Solana's Liquid Staking Token (LST) market cap has nearly doubled from $1.6 billion to $3.5 billion. The Solana ecosystem has seen approximately 12.4 million staking transactions executed through 460,000 distinct wallets since August 2021. Additionally, decentralized exchange (DEX) volume on Solana is nearing new highs, with nearly $300 billion total volume since January 2023, an average monthly trading volume of $80 billion, and 8 million monthly active wallets. A recent collaboration with Wormhole, Arbitrum, Jito, and Aura Finance has positioned Balancer as a leading DEX for hosting LSTs, with over $19.8 billion in LST swap volume and $438 million in LST total value locked (TVL). Key metrics indicate that Solana's LST market structure is rapidly differentiating itself from Ethereum's LST market.
