Solana's tracked perpetuals turnover rose 65.29% to nearly $9 billion over seven days in DefiLlama's Nov. 10 snapshot. GMTrade, listed as GMX Solana, contributed nearly $7 billion, or about 77% of the total.
The broader activity picture was quieter: Solana spot DEX turnover fell 5% to $9.9 billion, while stablecoin market capitalization declined 4.38% to $14.5 billion over the same seven-day comparisons.
Turnover measures notional trading volume, not new SOL purchases or growth in outstanding positions. The snapshot showed $174.9 million in GMTrade open interest out of $235.1 million across the table, but comparable observations are needed to establish a weekly trend.
