Cardano-based DEXes and meme coins fuel ADA price rally
The Cardano blockchain registered a rise in its transaction volume in May. Transaction volume on Minswap, the largest DEX on the Ethereum-killer blockchain, climbed from $10 million at the beginning of May to $72 million on Tuesday.
Minswap transaction volume
Minswap is currently the largest DEX on the Cardano blockchain by Total Value Locked (TVL). The exchange holds upwards of $175 million worth of assets. A significant spike in activity on Minswap, therefore, influences the Cardano blockchain.
Launch of meme coins on Cardano and impact on ADA
SNEK, a meme coin with a 24-hour trade volume of $8 million, was launched on Cardano-based DEXes Sundaeswap and Minswap. Since its launch, SNEK price climbed 268.71%. Market participants engaged in trading SNEK contributed to the rise in transaction volume on Minswap.
Since their launch, both SNEK and BANK prices have climbed, with a combined market capitalization of $80 million as of Tuesday.
The flurry of activity from DEX transactions and meme coin launches fueled a rally in Cardano. The Ethereum-killer token climbed from $0.3535 on Friday to $0.38 at press time, an increase of 7.5%.
The Ethereum alternative is likely to continue rallying higher with the rising popularity of DEXes and meme coin launches on their platforms.
