Crypto data service Nansen announced Thursday that it is adding support for transactions on the Solana blockchain.

In a press statement, the startup pointed to Solana’s growth across non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The integration will “help to identify emerging” trends on both fronts, it said.

On Thursday, Nansen’s Solana overview page showed the fast and cheap blockchain had 1.31 million “unique 1-day visitors.” Decentralized exchange (DEX) Serum accounted for 32% of “program executions.”

Nansen’s wallet-sleuthing services have attracted traders and venture firms for deciphering crypto’s transparent, albeit befuddling, on-chain transactions.

It raised $75 million late last year to fund an aggressive expansion campaign.

There’s massive demand for on-chain tooling and other wallet trackers are also eyeing growth. Wednesday, the startup Context raised $19.5 million from venture backers.

“There has been huge demand to launch a Solana dashboard,” Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik said in a press release.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
