Solana is at the forefront of the Web3 and Web2 payment environment, with an annual transaction volume increasing by an impressive 755%.
On-chain data shows that the network has had over $1.8 billion worth of payments, which is more than any other major platform.
Explosive growth in B2B transactions
Solana leads payments growth across all platforms, at +755% YoY. While blockchains are winning growth (+755% on $6.5B), TradFi still owns volume (PayPal processes $1.8T). https://t.co/9bW2qfzIlA pic.twitter.com/k0BlKxdckJ

According to the data provided by Artemis, the volume of B2B payments at Solana increased nine times within 16 months and reached 3.84 billion.
The fast adoption of the network speaks of its capability to support large transactions.
Comparatively, the volume of stablecoin payments increased 137% annually in August 2025, with the highest proportion being B2B payments.
The network is highly efficient, and this has made Solana one of the preferred choices of businesspeople who are in need of transporting money in a reliable and fast manner.
Spot trading volume surges
Impressive growth in spot trading has also been realized by Solana. In January 2025, the network reported that it had registered 1.6 trillion in spot trading volume, making it the second in the world after Binance, which registered 7.2 trillion.
According to on-chain statistics, Solana was the largest exchange with 11.92% of the overall world spot market, surpassing Coinbase, Bybit, and Bitget, among the largest exchanges in the world.
Decentralized exchange data of DefiLlama confirms that Solana dominated Ethereum and BSC in 2025 and reached its highest of $313.91 billion in January.
The network had a trading volume of more than 1.5 trillion by the end of the year, and Ethereum had 950 billion.
Price declines affect SOL holders and validators
SOL has experienced a lean beginning to 2026, although network activity is high.
The token has lost over 35% this year to date and traded at 82.38 at the time this is being written; it is down 9% in the last seven days.
This has affected the treasury companies greatly, with Forward Industries having 6.9 million SOL worth 564.38 million, and Solana Company has 2.3 million SOL worth 187.8 million.
In February, the net outflows in Spot SOL ETFs were over $10 million, but a few short-term inflows were also reported.
The number of network validators has also plummeted at an extremely high rate, and the day-to-day count has dropped to under 800, the lowest since 2021.
Solana Foundation is reported to have reorganized the requirements of validators to remove those nodes that are not performing and enhance network stability and reliability.
The fact that Solana is leading in the number of payments and trading operations highlights its expanded importance in both Web3 and Web2 worlds, despite market volatility making investor trust and the number of validators a question.
