- Raydium, which led the market with a 31% share, has seen a sharp decline from its peak of 63% in 2025.
- Competitors like Pumpfun, Orca, Meteora, and SolFi are gaining traction, with Pumpfun standing out with a 19% market share.

- Orca has also shown strength in Project Token and Liquid Staking Token markets, appealing to a diverse user base.
- Despite its market share decline, Raydium still holds a significant position in the Solana DEX scene with 31% share.
- DEXs like Raydium need to adapt and modernize to meet evolving trader demands and maintain relevance.
- The competitive Solana DEX market signifies increased user choice and innovation, leading to a more dynamic ecosystem.
