Meme Coins: Solana Leads 24-Hour Trading Volume
Meme coin trading activity varied sharply across chains in the 24 hours to 10 October 2026, with Solana recording the highest Top 10 turnover at $93.44 million. ZEC led Solana tokens with $19.13 million in volume, while QI posted an exceptional 24-hour gain of 133,686%. SIB, PAWS and MEMECHAN also rose strongly.
BNB Chain’s Top 10 turnover reached $78.08 million, led by pPOLY at $33.45 million. On Robinhood Chain, turnover was $67.24 million, with NVDA in front at $21.48 million; ORBIO gained 51.9%. Base recorded $27.35 million in Top 10 turnover, led by DRV at $12.82 million, while trading activity across tokens was mixed.
The figures point to rapidly shifting meme coin hotspots and extreme price volatility. The report advises traders to manage risk and do their own research.
Neutral
This is a market-activity snapshot rather than a catalyst that clearly changes the outlook for the broader crypto market. Solana had the highest reported Top 10 turnover, while BNB Chain and Robinhood Chain were also active; Base showed comparatively lower turnover and mixed token performance. These figures may draw short-term trader attention to the named tokens and chains, but they do not establish a sustained market-wide trend.
The reported 133,686% 24-hour gain for QI is an extreme move and may reflect low liquidity, a sharp repricing or data anomalies. As with past meme coin surges, rapid gains can attract momentum trading, followed by abrupt reversals as traders take profits. Volume concentration in a handful of assets and quickly changing hotspots can also increase slippage and volatility.
In the short term, traders may see increased turnover and sharp price swings in the tokens highlighted. Longer term, this report alone offers no evidence of lasting adoption or fundamental change. Liquidity, token-specific news and broader market conditions would be needed to assess whether activity persists. Overall, the information is insufficiently directional, so the expected market impact is neutral, with elevated risk in individual meme coins.
