BlockBeats News, on October 20, the dark pool trading platform HumidiFi has become the largest trading platform on the Solana chain, with a record transaction volume of $34 billion in the past month. According to DefiLlama data, HumidiFi has surpassed the liquidity protocol Meteora, which has a transaction volume of $31 billion, and also outperformed the veteran Solana DEX Raydium (with a transaction volume of $21 billion). Just three months ago, the platform's average daily trading volume often struggled to exceed $100 million. Dark pool trading platforms (also known as dark pool automated market makers or proprietary market makers) are a type of trading platform on the Solana blockchain that have surged in popularity in recent months. Unlike the largest decentralized exchange Uniswap, dark pool market makers operate in the background. They typically do not have official websites and do not allow users to provide liquidity to earn swap fees. These platforms often rely entirely on liquidity provided by their creators (usually anonymous) and only accept trades routed through aggregators such as Jupiter. Although dark pool market makers are more transparent than centralized exchanges because all transactions are publicly viewable on-chain, they are less transparent in other aspects. Dark pool operators usually choose to remain anonymous, as they only interface with aggregators and do not directly serve traders. The HumidiFi development team remains anonymous to this day, although their X account activity suggests that their identities may be revealed soon.

BlockBeats News, October 20, according to official sources, self-custody cryptocurrency platform Exodus Movement, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXOD) announced today that shareholders can now choose to hold their Exodus Class A common stock in the form of common stock tokens on the Solana blockchain, with technical support from the joint transfer agent Superstate. These digital representations are not the actual shares themselves, but rather a digital reflection of shareholders' existing equity holdings as recorded in the transfer agent's books. Exodus's entry onto Solana is made possible by Superstate's issuance platform "Opening Bell," which allows companies to directly manage tokenized shares on blockchains such as Solana. As the first publicly listed company to offer common stock tokens, Exodus's common stock tokens now exist on both the Solana and Algorand blockchains, demonstrating Exodus's strong commitment to cross-chain functionality, including its own products.
