SOL Swaps on Jupiter

    Jupiter is the best swap aggregator on Solana, meaning that it optimizes the best token swap rate across all decentralized exchanges for users.

    In this article, we want to examine the volume of $ SOL token swaps in Jupiter.

    What is the volume of $ SOL swaps since the beginning of 2022? Is this swap volume related to the $SOL token price or the crypto market conditions?

    To answer these questions, we must consider a few points.

    $SOL Token Prices:

    The price of a token has a great effect on the volume of its swaps. Or the volume of swaps affects the price.

    For example, if the volume of swaps from other tokens to the $SOL token increases, the token price will increase. And if the volume of swaps from the $SOL to other tokens increases , the token price will decrease.

    Crypto market conditions:

    Certainly market conditions have a great impact on the volume of swaps of a token. Or all the tokens. Whatever the market conditions are towards a reduction in prices or a fall in prices. The volume of swaps increases.

    And again, the largest volume belongs to the USDC. A token that is a stable coin and is the best way to swap. Because there is no price volatility.

    Looking at the donut chart below, we find that more than 45% of the swap volume belonged to the USDC.

    Conclusion

    Since the beginning of 2022, the price of the $SOL token has dropped sharply. And on some days there have been sharp price fluctuations. Due to the falling conditions of the crypto market in the new year.

    Looking at the charts, we realized that these price fluctuations were closely related to the volume of swaps. In the days when the price of SOL tokens dropped a lot, the volume of swaps was higher.

    The most used tokens in these swaps have been USDC.

    USDC is the most widely used token on Jupiter. Most users have used this token to escape the sharp price drops of the crypto market or to buy SOL tokens at a low price.
