Is SOL Back? PumpSwap Slams $10Bn Volume Since Launch: Best Solana Meme Coin to Buy?

Over $10 billion in cumulative volume has been processed on PumpSwap, the new decentralized exchange (DEX) from the creators of the Solana (SOL) memecoin launchpad, Pump.fun – but what are the best Solana meme coins to buy for April?

Pump.fun launched its own DEX on March 20 to give a platform to its successful meme coins, bypassing the traditional route to Raydium, the leading Solana-based DEX, and automated market makers (AMMs).

PUMPFUN’S PUMPSWAP VS. RAYDIUM: WHO’S WINNING?

PumpSwap Helping To Breathe Life Back Into The Dying Solana Memecoin Space

At the peak of the meme coin hype in January, Raydium processed a quarter of the total DEX volume across all blockchains, mostly due to the sheer number of meme coins graduating from Pump.fun.

Since the majority of Solana meme coins have since died completely or are 70-95% down from those January highs, Pump. fun and Raydium’s volume has fallen off a cliff.

However, this past weekend, according to  DefiLlama , PumpSwap processed just under 15% of the total volume the leading Solana DEXs processed. Raydium led the way with the largest market share at 47.5%. Meteora and Whirlpool both processed between 12% and 13%.

According to DefiLlama, in just over 10 days since its launch, PumpSwap has generated over $20 million in protocol fees, and its liquidity providers have received over $5 million in fees.

Over the past 24 hours, PumpSwap has processed over $3.2 billion in trading volume, more than 10 times Raydium’s volume, which was $298 million in the same time frame.

Seemingly in response to Pump.fun and its launch of PumpSwap, Raydium recently announced that it is working on a meme coin launchpad of its own called LaunchLab .

It will act as a direct competitor to Pump.Fun, and with each entity having its own launchpad and DEX, they will have no need for one another. The Solana community will have the final decision on whether Raydium or Pump. Fun will become the number one launchpad/DEX combo on the network.

SOL has had a relatively tame reaction in response to the increased activity on Solana. For the past three days, it has been in a tight range between $122 and $130 and is currently trading at around $125.50. If SOL can hold above $125 and turn it to a strong support level, the market will hope in April for it to revisit its March highs of $175.

Another project breathing new life into Solana is Meme Index (MEMEX ). It has raised just shy of $4.5 million in its presale, which closes in just a few hours.

There is a lot of excitement around MEMEX due to its niche utility. Meme Index, while being a meme coin at heart, offers users a way to invest in the meme coin sector without doing any of the hard work.

The team has carefully curated four different Meme Coin baskets, each made up of eight different meme coins. The four baskets have different risk ratings, meaning there is something for everyone.

The Meme Index Baskets Explained:

Meme Titan Index – Includes meme coins valued at $1 billion or more.

A collection of the top 8 meme coins in the world.

DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, WIF, BONK, FLOKI, BABYDOGE, BRETT

Moonshot Index – Features tokens valued between $250 million and $1 billion.

This basket is made up of slightly more volatile up-and-comers that are challenging for Meme Titan status.

POPCAT, PNUT, MOG, MEW, GOAT, NEIRO, SPX, ACT

Midcap Index – Covers tokens ranging from $50 to $250 million.

This is where the volatility increases. The Midcap index is for those who enjoy more risk.

TURBO, BOME, CHILLGUY, SNEK, MEME, GIGA, APU, DOGS

Meme Frenzy Index – Consists of tokens valued under $50 million.

This one is for the true degens. Perfect for those who understand zero or hero, with little in-between.

ZEREBRO, MOODEG, NPC, CAT, PONKE, FARTCOIN, DOGE, DEGEN

Solaxy (SOLX) Another Solana Meme Coin Packed Full Of Utility: Solana’s First Native Layer-2 Closes In On $30m Funding

As the first Layer-2 chain on Solana, Solaxy (SOLX) has been designed to tackle the main net’s scaling challenges. Solaxy is currently preparing for its public launch as the premier L2 solution on Solana.

The Solaxy team has a real ambition to enhance Solana’s ecosystem while cornering an extremely lucrative niche in the market. While Solana does not yet have a native L2 protocol,  Ethereum’s L2 sector now exceeds $10 billion in combined market cap.

Given the valuation of the Ethereum L2 sector, it is no wonder that Solaxy has raised nearly $30 million during its presale thus far. Being the only native L2 protocol in production on Solana, if  SOLX can gain even a modest 10% of the Ethereum L2 market share, it would give Solaxy a $1 billion valuation.

In its five years of existence, Solana has faced persistent network congestion issues that have limited its ability to fully outpace Ethereum. During market peaks, Solana regularly faces outages and slowdowns, making it hard for investors to trade on-chain without constant failed transactions.

Solaxy aims to change this by implementing several key solutions. It has been designed to process transactions off-chain to reduce the strain on Solana’s network. SOLX also utilizes rollups to bundle transactions for improved cost-efficiency while maintaining Solana’s strong security framework.
