Hey Bananas, we’ve said “all-time high” so many times lately we might as well slap it on merch.
And… here we are again.
From August 4th to August 10th, Banana Gun clocked $236.2M in total volume, the biggest week since January and an absolutely massive leap from last week’s $163.7M and the $151.1M before that.
Again, before you start lighting fireworks, remember: some crafty apes out there know how to make their trades look like they came from Banana Gun by going through our router directly. No fees, but it still pops up in Dune data.
We’ve patched it before, they’ve found ways around it, so yes, we remind you once again there’s a little artificial seasoning on these numbers.
But the core is still real, organic, and very active. 🍌
Let’s break it down:
Bot Volume, Fees and Users
Total volume: $236.2M
That’s up from $163.7M last week and $151.1M the week before: three monster green candles in a row.
Here’s the chain breakdown:
🍌 $222.7M on Ethereum (from $148M last week, ETH went Super Saiyan)
🍌 $7.3M on Solana (almost flat from $7.4M, steady cooking)
🍌 $5.5M on Base (down from $7M, still holding its ground)
🍌 $667K on BSC (down from $1.3M, pushing quietly in the corner)
🍌 Sonic & Blast still in quiet support mode behind the scenes
Ethereum carried so hard this week it basically backpacked the whole scoreboard, while Solana stayed stable and Base cooled slightly after its recent pop.
Total Fees
$200,185: a noticeable dip from $256K last week despite the volume mooning.
That’s the router loophole in action: numbers on Dune go bonkers, but fees stay grounded.
Still, remember 40% of these fees go directly into $BANANA holders’ pockets, and that’s always real.
User activity
👥 39,778 total users
🔁 16,488 returning (from 13,520)
🆕 23,290 new (from 16,798)
That’s yet another all-time high in users: and the growth is incredible.
Some of these “users” are actually scripts trying to make their own token snipes look legit, but the rest of you are very real, very active, and apparently multiplying fast.

Banana Gun vs the rest
Still at #1, and the gap just got ridiculous.
Over the past 7 days, Banana Gun moved $220.94M in volume, almost doubling Trojan’s $112.92M and leaving Maestro’s $87.95M in the rearview.
What about ETH dominance? Still climbing.
This week, 74.6% of all trading bot volume on Ethereum flowed through Banana Gun. Maestro sat at 22.5%, Sigma at 2.4%, and the yellow mountain on the chart is now looking like Everest.
No celebrating, just steady, widening distance from the pack.
And if the trend holds, the other bots might need binoculars just to see us.

Market Insights
The stage is starting to look less like “crypto’s next bull run” and more like the biggest one ever.
Spot BTC & ETH ETFs have pulled in a mind-melting ~$17B net in just the past 60 days, with over $11B in July alone. Add in 401k access to crypto and we’re talking trillions in fresh potential buyers. Stablecoins? New all-time high at ~$280B, 22 months of straight growth.
ETH is back over $4K and showing the kind of momentum that makes ATH talk feel realistic again, especially with BTC dominance rolling over and alts waiting in the wings. Institutions are buying too, from Harvard’s $120M in BlackRock’s BTC ETF to Robinhood’s Q2 numbers smashing expectations while calling tokenization “the biggest innovation of the decade”.
On-chain, the meme launchpad wars are still raging. Pump.fun clawed its way back on Solana, but LetsBonk is still ahead in trading volume. Meanwhile, Base is quietly stealing the spotlight, overtaking Solana in new token launches. And with ETH dominance in bot wars rising, the stage is set for some spicy rotations when alts wake up.
“Bull markets are fun. Bull markets with Banana Gun are better”

Community Highlights
The Banana energy on CT is starting to feel like a full-on bull market festival. Everyone’s got a chart, a prophecy, or a Coldplay soundtrack ready to go.
🍌 @cryptocevo is back on the board, this time keeping it short and sweet: Banana to triple digits. Nothing else, just destiny.
🍌 @CryptoPepperP gave us a moment straight out of a trading movie: while charting $BANANA, “Yellow” by Coldplay came on the radio. Stars aligned, candles loading… welcome to the Bananazone.
🍌 And of course, @CashIsTrash_ returns with another heavy-hitter. $17K in fees collected in a single day, 0% from taxes, all real users. Called us (correctly) the fastest SOL terminal.
Top 100? He’s already done the math: $322 per Banana, 12x from here. Based as always.
Some call it hopium, others call it conviction. We just call it another week in the Banana jungle.
See you next recap with more insights, more stats, and more success stories from the Banana Gun community. 🍌
