Solana has been thrown into a tailspin after a shocking revelation:
its daily stablecoin volume may have been significantly inflated.
Reports indicate a staggering drop – from a dizzying $75-100
billion to a mere $7 billion in a 24-hour period. This dramatic
shift has unsettled the crypto community, raising serious questions
about the legitimacy of Solana’s past performance and its future as
a DeFi powerhouse. Related Reading: Can Terra Classic Rise From The

Inflated Figures Or Fabricated Reality? Market sentinels are
pointing fingers at wash trading, a manipulative practice where
investors essentially buy and sell crypto back and forth to each
other, creating an illusion of high activity. This tactic inflates
trading volumes, potentially misleading investors about the true
level of adoption and liquidity on the platform. Amazing how Solana
went from $75-100 BILLION DAILY stablecoin volume to $7 BILLION
daily in 1 day!! Might it be because the data was totally fake???
Like how I’ve been talking about all these months?? And by the way
even at $7 Billion 90% of the volume is still fake

(@WazzCrypto) June 25, 2024 The discrepancy is too large to ignore.
While some wash trading might occur on any exchange, a legitimate
DeFi ecosystem shouldn’t be so heavily reliant on it. This raises
serious concerns about the organic growth of Solana’s stablecoin
market. The finger of suspicion falls particularly on USDC, a
leading stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Experts estimate that
even with the revised $7 billion volume figure, a staggering 90%
could still be inflated. This throws a wrench into Solana’s
narrative as a DeFi leader, potentially shaking investor
confidence. Investor Jitters And The Road To Redemption The sudden
data plunge has unnerved investors who made decisions based on the
previously reported figures. This could lead to a sell-off, causing
short-term volatility in the Solana market. Additionally, the
revelation comes at a sensitive time – just ahead of the highly
anticipated Ethereum ETF deadline, which some believe could have
boosted Solana’s DeFi activity further. This is a major blow to
Solana’s credibility. Investors need to be able to trust the data
they’re basing their decisions on. Regaining that trust will
require a swift and transparent response from Solana’s development
team. SOL market cap currently at $63 billion. Chart:
