Hyperliquid и BNB Chain обошли Solana в битве за комиссионные Translation: Hyperliquid and BNB Chain Outpace Solana in the Battle for Transaction Fees

At the beginning of the year, over 50% of transaction fees among layer 1 networks were attributed to Solana, but by October, this figure had dropped to 9%, according to data from The Block.

During the same period, the share of Hyperliquid grew to 40%, while BNB Chain saw its share rise to 20%. As of the time of writing, Ethereum and TRON had respective shares of 7% and 14%.

The revival of on-chain activity can be credited to the excitement surrounding decentralized exchanges for trading perpetual contracts, which began following the launch of Aster in the BNB Chain ecosystem. The platform quickly emerged as a formidable competitor to Hyperliquid.

In less than a month, trading volume on such platforms surpassed the $1 trillion mark.

Solana ranks among the top three layer 1 networks in terms of circulating stablecoins, with the market capitalization of these assets exceeding $14.9 billion on this blockchain.

The ecosystem includes USDT, USDC, USDe, USDS, DAI, PYUSD, and various other assets. Solana is attracting interest not only from individual investors but also from institutional players, including governmental entities.

On October 28, it was announced that payment giant Western Union would launch the USDPT stablecoin on the network. The release is set for 2026, with the custodian being Anchorage Digital Bank.

“Western Union will provide customers with access to digital assets, enabling them to send, receive, spend, and store USDPT through a single platform with a seamless interface, utilizing the company’s global compliance and risk management systems,” the press release stated.

Previously, the firm had initiated a pilot project for transactions using stablecoins. Its CEO, Devin McGranahan, noted that the adoption of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. prompted Western Union to pursue this solution.
