Solana Nears DeFi Highs as Fee Intake Falls and Q2 App Revenue Drops 44%

Low-fee routing with stablecoin-heavy flows keeps liquidity deep at the expense of validator and app revenue.

Overview

  • DeFi total value locked stands near $11.7 billion, with stablecoin supply around $12 billion, according to DeFiLlama.
  • Daily on-chain fees are roughly $1.6–$1.68 million, and Messari reports Q2 application revenue fell 44.2% to $576.4 million from $1 billion.
  • SOL trades around $198–$200, well below January’s $294.33 all-time high despite the liquidity recovery.
  • Twenty-four hour activity remains heavy, with about $4.6 billion in spot DEX volume and roughly $2.1 billion in perpetuals.
  • Bridged-liquidity tallies differ by source, with recent reports citing roughly $57 billion versus $42 billion.
