Last week’s excitement surrounding Solana-based meme coins has faded, as evidenced by a drop in trading activity on decentralized exchanges (DEXes). On-chain data has revealed that this fell to a 42-day low on Sunday.
Over the past week, the leading Layer 1 (L1) blockchain has experienced a general decline in user activity.

At press time, SOL’s CMF rested on its center line at 0.
