Solana Tops Google Trends:
Since December 20th, the Solana blockchain network has risen in Google's search popularity, surpassing Ethereum with an average worldwide search ranking of 47/100 and 31/100, respectively. This development marks a significant milestone for Solana, as it outpaces Ethereum across various regions, including Russia, the USA, Canada, and most of Europe.
Notable Interest in Solana Ecosystem:
Google's data also revealed that users searching for information about Solana showed a keen interest in projects within the Solana ecosystem. Notably, "BONK," a meme token, and the NFT (Non-Fungible Token) marketplace "Tensor" gained significant attention. BONK claimed the top spot in CryptoDiffer's ranking for the highest growth rate in the fourth quarter of the year, registering an astonishing 7547% increase. This surge led to the rapid sale of all Web 3.0 smartphones from Solana's developer company, accompanied by 30 million BONK tokens as gifts to buyers. As a result, BONK secured its place as the third-ranked meme coin, surpassing its older rival FLOKI.
Tensor NFT Collection Sees Impressive Growth:
In the last month, the Tensorians collection on the NFT marketplace "Tensor" demonstrated a 484% increase in trading volume. This highlights the growing interest in NFTs within the Solana ecosystem.
Solana Dominates DEX Trading Volume:
Solana has not only outperformed Ethereum in search popularity but has also surpassed it in terms of trading volume on decentralized exchanges (DEX). According to DeFiLlama, weekly trading volumes reached 10.33 billion and 10.061 billion dollars for Solana and Ethereum, respectively, solidifying Solana's position in the crypto market.
