It was followed by July when it handled coins worth $56 billion as Ethereum processed coins worth $52 billion. 
Solana’s volume rose because of the strong comeback of some of its meme coins in the past few days. Popcat (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/popcat/" target="_blank">POPCAT</a>) token has risen by over 25% in the last seven days, making it the best-performing top ten meme coin.&nbsp;

Cat In A Dogs World (MEW) rose by 16.2% while Book of Meme jumped by 8.5%. In most cases, crypto volume rises when tokens are in an uptrend.

The number of buyers rose by 153% to 220,000 while the most popular NFT collections were Sorare, DeGods, and Solana Monkey Business. 
Solana has also made more headlines recently. Coinbase added Solana’s ckBTC support while the developers launched PlaySolana, a handheld gaming console.&nbsp;
