💥 +755% year-on-year payment growth
💰 $1.8B+ total payment volume
🏢 B2B payments up 9X in just 16 months ($3.84B)
According to Artemis data, Solana is currently leading all Web2 & Web3 platforms in payment growth.

📊 But Here’s the Twist…
While blockchains dominate growth, TradFi still owns scale.

🌍 11.92% global spot market share
🥈 Only behind Binance ($7.2T)
On DEX volume, Solana outperformed:
⚔️ Ethereum
⚔️ BNB Smart Chain
January peak? 🚀 $313.91B monthly DEX volume.
⚠️ But Price Pain Is Real…
📉 SOL down 35% YTD
📉 −9% in 7 days
💸 $300M+ liquidations
📤 ETF outflows > $10M in February
🛠️ Validators dropped below 800 (from 2,500 peak).
🔄 Some say it’s restructuring. Others see consolidation.
🧠 So What’s Really Happening?
🚀 Payments are exploding
🌊 DeFi volume is dominating
🏦 Institutional ETFs exist
⚖️ But price is under pressure
