Raydium (RAY) Soars to $4.10 Amid Buyback Frenzy and Explosive Volume Surge

Raydium rockets past resistance as traders pile into RAY—proving once again that nothing pumps a token like a well-timed buyback.

Volume breakout triggers FOMO rally. The Solana-based DEX token punched through $4.10 on heavy trading—just as the team started burning supply. Classic crypto economics: reduce circulation, watch charts go brrr.

Buybacks fuel bullish momentum. While traditional markets debate share repurchases, DeFi projects like Raydium show how quickly artificial scarcity can move markets. (Who needs fundamentals when you've got tokenomics?)

Next targets in sight. With RAY clearing $4, liquidity pools are reloading for the next leg up. Just remember: what goes up in crypto usually comes down—after the influencers finish dumping their bags.

DEX activity boosts Raydium crypto

The surge to above $4.10 for Raydium’s native token has coincided with key network milestones over the past month. July saw the automated market maker on solana reach a staggering monthly volume of $40 billion, a rally that fueled the altcoin’s price increase.

With Solana DEX activity trending upward, Raydium posted a cumulative monthly volume of $40.1 billion. The protocol witnessed a 71% month-on-month increase in volume. However, this isn’t the only bullish aspect of Raydium’s growth during the period.

The DEX protocol recorded a 137% spike in revenue, outpacing many competitors to reach $18.33 million.

Nearly $200 million in RAY buybacks

Notably, Raydium has increased its programmatic buybacks of RAY.

In July, the platform repurchased a total of 2.1 million RAY with an allocation of $5.7 million. Additionally, the protocol reaccumulated another 1.35 million RAY through discretionary maker-side buybacks. Together, Raydium is approaching $200 million in programmatic buybacks.

Growth for Raydium has also come in the FORM of the protocol’s share of Solana DEX volume.

Having dipped to under 30% in June, the metric climbed to 45% following the Launchlab unveiling in April 2025. Traction across the real-world assets market is also increasing, including Raydium’s integration as the liquidity hub for tokenized equities on xStocks.
