# A Battle for the DEX Market: BNB vs. Solana

## The state of the DEX market

The decentralized exchange (DEX) market is entering a period of intense competition. BNB Chain’s viral marketing is having an impact reminiscent of Tron (TRX) and its earlier “TRX summer” campaign. In early 2025, DEX trading volume reached 20% of CEX volume for the first time, with the competition between BNB and Solana drawing particular attention.

## BNB vs. Solana: Key comparisons

### BNB Chain
- Trading volume: $1.658 billion in the past 24 hours, up 66.8% from the previous week
- Active addresses: approximately 1.32 million, up 37.4% from the previous week
- Strengths: strong backing from Binance, low fees and Ethereum compatibility
- Recent performance: $5.8 million in daily fees on February 13, ahead of Solana’s $3.3 million

### Solana
- Trading volume: approximately $1.07 billion, down 28.8% from the previous week
- Active addresses: approximately 4.08 million, three times BNB’s figure, but down 24.1% from the previous week
- Strengths: high throughput, very low fees and a strong developer ecosystem
- Challenge: growing user fatigue from influencer and celebrity marketing

## What the data shows

1. Active addresses: Solana remains well ahead, but its count is declining while BNB’s is rising.
2. Trading volume: BNB has overtaken Solana, whose volume is falling.
3. Key trends:
 - A divergence between user base, where Solana leads, and trading volume, where BNB leads
 - BNB is growing with Binance’s support, while Solana has entered a slowdown after its initial growth

## DEXs adopt CEX features and Binance’s strategy

### DEXs’ shift toward the CEX model
- Improved user experience, including interfaces similar to CEXs
- More concentrated liquidity to improve trading efficiency
- Hybrid models such as MEXC’s “DEX+”
- Greater attention to regulatory compliance

### Binance’s strategy
- Renewed support for BSC after the end of CZ’s legal risks
- Drawing on its experience during previous DeFi seasons
- Using the resources and brand strength of a centralized exchange
- A clear determination to compete for leadership in DEXs as well

## Could BNB overtake Solana?

### Short-term outlook: Six months to one year
- BNB is likely to maintain or extend its lead in DEX trading volume.
- Solana is likely to retain its lead in user base.

### Long-term outlook: More than one year
- BNB could overtake Solana if it expands its user base and succeeds in its strategy of bringing CEX features to DEXs.
- Solana could remain competitive through technical innovation and ecosystem expansion.
- The two platforms could also coexist.

## Conclusion

The answer to whether BNB can overtake Solana is, for now, “we don’t know.” BNB has already surpassed Solana in trading volume, but a large gap remains in user base. Binance’s aggressive strategy, Solana’s response and changes in market conditions will determine how the competition develops.

The contest for the DEX market is only beginning, and further changes are likely.
