Head Line: Greater trading volume for Solana Meme Coin Slerf than for all of
Ethereum

Article Type: News

Subject: Business

A Solana-based token, Slerf, has clocked up more trading volume than all
decentralized exchanges on the Ethereum blockchain in the past 24 hours. The sloth-
themed token, issued in Asian morning hours, raised over $2.7 billion in the past
24 hours, with over $1.7 billion in trades routed through the Solana-based
exchange, Raydium.

In contrast, Ethereum exchange applications processed $2.3 billion in cumulative


volume. SLERF was created following a token presale, raising $10 million from
users. It quickly went viral on social platform X after its developer accidentally
sent all the money raised to a burn address, losing access to the funds.

The token was eventually floated on Solana-based exchanges, and its price surged to
as high as $1.4 within a few hours. Some professional traders have termed SLERF a
"blue-chip meme" for reasons ranging from fair distribution among holders to
perceived future demand.
