For the fourth consecutive month, Solana's DEX volume outpaced Ethereum, processing a staggering $118 billion in transactions versus Ethereum's $40 billion. The surge is driven by AI agents powered by frameworks like ElizaOS and platforms such as DeepSnitch AI, executing high-frequency trades and managing liquidity pools entirely on-chain. Projects like Grass and Render leverage Solana to provide data and GPU power for AI model training, creating a flywheel effect that keeps liquidity within the ecosystem. Analysts target $160-$180 for SOL in the short term, with potential to reach $200 by end of Q1 2026.
