Crypto volume staged a strong comeback in centralized and decentralized exchanges as most coins bounced back.
Solana, Base, and Sui’s volume soared
According to DeFi Llama data, DEX networks in Solana (SOL), Base, and Sui (SUI) led the recovery, rising by 40%, 20%, and 30%, respectively.
Solana DEXes handled $7.13 billion in the last seven days while Base and Sui processed $3.92 billion and $597 million.
Still, the total volume handled in CEX and DEX networks in September was the lowest since February. DEX networks handled over $114 billion, down from $172 billion in the previous month. Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Smart Chain had the highest monthly volume.
CEX volume, on the other hand, handled $895 billion during the month, down from $1.2 trillion in the previous month. Binance had the most volume, followed by Bybit, OKX, and Coinbase.
The rebound in the last seven days was mostly because of the ongoing crypto rebound, with Bitcoin (BTC) rising to $66,000 and Ethereum (ETH) surging to $2,700.
This rally was mostly because the Federal Reserve decided to start cutting interest rates and the Chinese government offered stimulus. They also rallied after Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao was released from prison.
