Solana demonstrated remarkable resilience in December, achieving over $100 billion in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume for the second consecutive month, surpassing competitors like Binance Smart Chain and Ethereum. Despite a 20% drop in SOL's price, on-chain activity surged, with daily transactions hitting an all-time high of 1.5 billion and total value locked increasing by 57% to $9.1 billion. Additionally, restaking activity flourished, with Solana's staking pool Jito generating over $100 million in revenue from priority fees and tips.
