- Raydium has outpaced Uniswap in DEX volumes, now leading the industry with a strong upward trend.
- Raydium’s explosive growth in 2024 signals a major shift in DeFi, with the potential to triple Uniswap’s valuation.
- RAY/USD has shown volatility, but overall price trends upward, with solid volume and consistent market momentum.
Raydium is now the biggest decentralized exchange (DEX) in the sector, surpassing Uniswap in monthly DEX volumes. Raydium’s ascent seems to be only faster as Bitcoin hits new highs and Solana speculation intensifies. With Raydium expected to outperform Uniswap in this cycle by more than three times, this increasing tendency indicates a change in market dominance. Now there is a chance that the flippening will occur.
Raydium just flipped Uniswap on monthly DEX volumes and is now the largest DEX in the industry.
