Another week in the jungle, another round of stats.
This week Banana Gun collected $228,804, a dip from last week’s $256,378 but still right in the usual zone. That’s the clearest signal of real trading flow. 🍌
Banana Gun clocked $197M in bot volume from August 18th to 24th. That’s a step up from last week’s $185M.
Not quite the $236M peak from two weeks back, but steady in the jungle.
(As always, some routing inflates raw volume, fees remain the truest signal.)
Bot Volume, Fees and Users
Total volume: $197M (up from $185M last week)
Let’s break it down by chain:
🍌 $184.2M on Ethereum (ETH carried almost the whole scoreboard)
🍌 $5.7M on Solana (slipped a little from $7.2M)
🍌 $6.6M on Base (a small climb from $7.6M, holding its ground)
🍌 $493K on BSC (down from $780K, still the quiet corner)
🍌 Sonic & Blast: support mode continues in the background
Ethereum kept the engine running, Sol and Base shuffled a bit, and BSC stayed sleepy.
Total Fees
$228,804 this week, softer than last week’s $256,378 but still right in the usual range.
It’s the reminder that even when charts wiggle, real activity doesn’t disappear.
User Activity
👥 31,432 total users (from 31,575 last week, holding steady)
🔁 13,224 returning (down a touch from 14,729)
🆕 18,208 new (up from 16,846, fresh bananas joining the jungle)
📈 619,065 cumulative users
The weekly rhythm shifted a little: fewer returning, but a stronger wave of newcomers balancing the board. The base is still solid, and the growth line is climbing.
“Banana Gun: steady pace, new faces.”
Banana Gun vs the rest
Another week, another crown.
Banana Gun clocked $198.17M in volume, more than double Trojan’s $97.5M and miles ahead of Sigma at $37.54M.
While the others cooled down, Banana Gun kept the same heat on and held the lead with no need to sweat.
Zooming in on Ethereum, dominance climbed to a record 90.4%, up from last week’s (already crazy) 84.1% (and 74.6% the week before that).
Maestro slipped further to 5.9%, Sigma ticked down to 3.1%, and the graph is now a solid yellow.

Market Insights
It finally happened. After four long years of patience, doubt, and more than a few “ETH is dead” memes, Ethereum broke its all-time high, touching $4,950. For the ETH faithful, it’s vindication after an excruciating wait, and for the broader market, it’s the clearest signal yet that the OG chain still has gas in the tank.
And whenever ETH makes a move like this, the rumors follow: could this be the spark for the long-awaited alt season?
Usually, ETH strength has been the wave that lifts the rest of the boats, the chains, the tokens, and also the memes. This week, you can already hear the whispers growing louder: “If ETH is running, the rest can’t be far behind.”
At the same time, the stablecoin wars are heating up in the background, and they became geopolitical. The US has pushed forward with stablecoin laws, and the EU sprinted right after, fast-tracking its digital euro project.
Even more striking, the European Central Bank is openly considering Ethereum or Solana as the rails for it. It’s no longer about startups vs. regulators, it’s governments racing to anchor their currencies in the same public blockchains where we trade every day.
Taken together, the picture is pretty clear: ETH breaking out isn’t happening in a vacuum. The biggest asset managers, the biggest governments, and the biggest chains are all converging on the same arena.
“ETH breaks records, alts and governments line up.” 🍌
Trades of the Week
This week, there’s no need for a podium, no silver or bronze, no “top three”. One trade simply blew everything else out of the water.
🥇 274x on $SLOTHER
Yes. You read that correctly.
A sharp-eyed Banana Gun user dropped just $90 into $SLOTHER one hour after launch… and watched it balloon into an unrealized $24,630. That’s a 274x move, with 100% of the bag still intact.
No partial sells, no trimming along the way, just diamond hands holding a trade so absurd it makes the rest of the market look lame.
Sometimes it’s patience, sometimes it’s speed, and sometimes it’s catching a miracle.
This week, it was all three.
“Banana Gun: makes ridiculous gains stop being hypothetical.” 🍌
Community Highlights
Banana chatter on CT is still loud, creative, and at times, absolutely unhinged.
🍌 @CashIsTrash_ took it presidential this week, with a “special message” straight from Trump himself.
Pure banana doctrine broadcasted from the Oval Office timeline. Peak meme energy, peak conviction.
🍌 @TheMonteDev didn’t need memes, just numbers.
When ETH ETFs pulled billions and Banana Gun quietly owned 84% (now >90%) of ETH trading bot flow, he asked the only question that matters: “are you connecting the dots?”
Hard not to after seeing that chart.
🍌 @0xzady kept it short, sharp, and spicy: calling for a 20x. Not someday, not maybe.
Just conviction in all caps.
The kind of tweet that makes you check the chart twice before bed.
Different flavors, same jungle vibes: memes, math, and moonshots all pointing in the same direction. Banana remains the main character on CT.
See you next recap with more insights, more stats, and more success stories from the Banana Gun community. 🍌
