Solana has just celebrated its fifth anniversary, and a recent study shows very exaggerated USDT volatility on the network’s transport layer. This suggests a high level of speculative interest for the platform, powered by the enthusiasm for the same and other factors.
The Mercuryo web payment solutions platform shared this information exclusively with Beincrypto.
The extreme volatility of the Solana USDT
Solana, the second largest blockchain in the industry, has just celebrated its fifth anniversary. Its Genesis block was operated on March 16, 2020. In honor of this stage, the web infrastructure company Mercuryo conducted a study on this subject.
According to this study, the volatility of the USDT on the Solana transport layer is currently at an “extreme” level.
“Solana captivates the interest of crypto merchants around the world. While Solana celebrates its fifth anniversary, our data on transactions on the attachment tokens on the Solana transport layer suggest an unrivaled level of commercial activity in the midst of an explosion of interest in the Solana negotiation opportunities that we have seen in the last 12 months, “said Greg Wasman, co-founder and COO at Mercuryo.
The volatility of the Solana USDT has already increased only five times in 2025. The daily volumes of the USDT network of the network have radically fluctuated in the past two months.
This consisted of three points and two drops, which were both significantly smaller than the tips. The two drops were in the beach from 60% to 70%, while the increases varied between 100% and 137%.
Specifically, Solana experienced a 100% increase in USDT exchanges on January 13. A week later, this activity dropped by 63% and again jumped 129% on January 27. This unprecedented level of capital movements is often rare for any blockchain network.
Mercuryo claims that this volatility is caused by several factors, but the explosion of Solana coins is particularly important. Thanks to major local laureates like Pump.Fun, Solana’s commerce volumes have increased in recent months, even exceeding Ethereum a few times. This growing interest helps to feed an intense activity and these wild oscillations.
Over the past five years, its network has dealt with more than 408 billion transactions and nearly 1 billion of dollars of value on decentralized exchanges. While Solana has shown progressive growth since 2023, the volatility of capital entrances has been chaotic to say the least.
In the end, this improved level of volatility shows that Solana has a lot of interest among crypto traders. The network has developed considerably in the past five years, and it is already ready to make major progress in the near future.
