The network consistently maintained more than 2 million active addresses and over 15 million daily transactions.
Solana
Solana’s TVL dropped from $5.38 billion to $4.70 billion over the week, reflecting a broader decline in ecosystem valuations. Chain fees ranged from $269,081 to $482,389, while chain revenue remained above $42,000 daily. DEX trading activity surged significantly, reaching $3.70 billion on June 4.

Token market capitalization fell from $47.53 billion to $35.97 billion, although stablecoin capitalization remained above $15 billion. Solana continued to dominate transaction throughput with daily transaction counts consistently exceeding 79 million.
Tron
Tron’s TVL declined from $4.87 billion to $4.35 billion between June 1 and June 7. Chain fees remained among the highest across major networks, ranging from approximately $628,000 to $1.29 million. DEX trading volume fluctuated between $58 million and $107 million throughout the week. Perpetual volume remained volatile and reached a weekly high of $119.94 million on June 5. Stablecoin capitalization remained exceptionally strong above $90 billion despite minor fluctuations. The network consistently maintained over 4 million active addresses and more than 12 million daily transactions.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin’s TVL fell from $4.83 billion to $4.02 billion over the reporting period. Chain fees gradually declined from $251,682 to $148,175 by the end of the week. DEX trading volume remained relatively small, ranging from approximately $603,000 to $1.49 million. Perpetual volume peaked at $35.7 million on June 5 before moderating in subsequent sessions. Bitcoin’s market capitalization dropped from $1.48 trillion to $1.22 trillion, reflecting broader market pressure. Despite these declines, active addresses remained strong and daily transaction counts generally stayed above half a million.
Base
Base experienced a decline in TVL from $4.40 billion to $3.82 billion during the week. Chain fees reached a high of $578,360 on June 5 before dropping sharply in the final two days. DEX volume remained robust and peaked at $1.91 billion, highlighting continued trading activity on the network. Perpetual trading volume climbed as high as $416.30 million during the reporting period. Stablecoin capitalization increased steadily from $4.67 billion to $4.79 billion despite lower TVL levels. Daily transactions ranged between 8.63 million and 20.81 million, demonstrating strong Layer-2 adoption.
Overall Conclusion
The first week of June 2026 was characterized by a broad decline in Total Value Locked (TVL) and token valuations across major blockchain networks, reflecting a wider market correction. Despite the pullback, on-chain activity remained resilient, with several ecosystems continuing to process substantial transaction volumes and maintain strong user engagement.
Ethereum retained its position as the largest blockchain by TVL and token market capitalization, while BNB Chain continued to lead in user activity with millions of active addresses and transactions each day. Solana stood out for its exceptional throughput, consistently processing tens of millions of daily transactions and generating some of the highest DEX and perpetual trading volumes among all networks. Tron maintained its dominance in stablecoin liquidity, with stablecoin capitalization remaining above $90 billion throughout the week. Bitcoin experienced a decline in market capitalization but continued to record healthy network participation and transaction counts. Meanwhile, Base demonstrated growing Layer-2 adoption, supported by strong DEX activity and steadily increasing stablecoin liquidity.
Overall, while capital flows and valuations weakened during the week, user activity, trading volumes, and stablecoin adoption remained relatively strong. This suggests that network usage across major blockchain ecosystems continues to be resilient despite short-term market volatility.
