Solana DEX Weekly Active Traders Exceed 1.20 million

Dune data shows Solana's DEX weekly active traders number reached approximately 1.24 million, maintaining its position as the top public blockchain. 

During the same period, BNB Chain’s weekly active DEX traders was 624,000; Polygon, approximately 410,000; Base, approximately 209,000; and Ethereum, approximately 78,000. 

Weekly active DEX traders on networks including World Chain, Sui, Arbitrum, Celo, and Optimism all fell short of 30,000. 

Although this figure has notably declined from its peak of over 4.5 million in early 2025, Solana’s current weekly active DEX trader count still exceeds 1 million, roughly double that of BNB Chain.

Coinbase and Cardless Launch Stablecoin-backed Credit Card

Cardless and Coinbase have jointly launched a credit card secured by stablecoins, targeting users who cannot obtain credit cards through traditional channels but hold digital assets. 

Applicants need to pledge a portion of their USDC holdings as collateral, while still earning yield on their staked assets, and pay a $49.99 fee to obtain card usage rights. 

Cardless co-founder Michael Spelfogel said that applicants come from different credit score segments, and some believe in cryptocurrency but are just starting to accumulate wealth. 

This product continues the previous cooperation between the two parties. The previously launched Coinbase-branded American Express Card offers up to 4% Bitcoin cashback.
