The bot wars just shifted again. Banana Gun closed the week with $211.6K in fees and $145.5M in trading volume, but the real story wasn’t the totals. It was BSC overtaking Ethereum in activity, a surge of nearly 41K new users, and developers teasing the long-awaited EVM expansion.
Banana now operates in two forms:
- Banana Gun, the Telegram sniper bot running Ethereum, Base, and BSC.
- Banana Pro, the Solana-native trading terminal with modular dashboards and institutional-grade execution.
Together, they form what many are calling the best crypto trading platform in 2025.
BSC Surges, ETH Holds, User Growth Explodes
Weekly flow settled at $145.5M, nearly flat from last week. But the split told a new story:
- $72.1M on BSC, vaulting Banana Gun to 42.9% dominance and the top spot ahead of Maestro and Sigma.
- $67.2M on Ethereum, still commanding 89.3% of the chain’s market share.
- $3.2M on Base and $3M on Solana, steady contributors at the edges.
User numbers leapt: nearly 49K active wallets this week, with 40K new signups, pushing Banana’s total above 740K. Some of that surge likely came from spoofers riding the Banana router to legitimize buys, but the momentum shows one thing: traders recognize where liquidity is moving.
Trades That Define the Jungle
Two standout trades this week captured the extremes of Banana Gun’s utility:
- A 33x snipe on $NL turned $191 into $6,370 in just one hour.
- A 29x long hold on $VIBECOIN transformed $100 into $2,879 over 40 days.
One was pure speed. The other was patient conviction. Both ran through Banana Gun.
This duality explains Banana’s staying power: whether you thrive on instant launches or prefer slow builds, the system adapts.
Features That Traders Actually Need
The core advantage isn’t just numbers — it’s what the tools unlock. Banana’s manifesto, shaped directly by builders and traders, lists out what separates it from generic bots:
- MEV-resistant swaps that cut out predatory front-runners.
- Anti-rug detection that filters one-sided pools and dangerous liquidity.
- Sniping presets for Pump.fun and Moonshot on Solana via Banana Pro.
- Limit orders and DCA tools for calculated exits instead of emotional ones.
- Copytrade features to follow elite wallets automatically.
- Multi-wallet execution, letting you fire trades across chains from one command.
In short: Banana gives back the seconds that decide whether you win or lose a memecoin trade.
Building the Next Stage
This week’s dev log shows Banana balancing polish and ambition:
- Improvements: color customization in settings, cleaner chart rendering, sharper transaction history, fixes across buy/sell widgets, smoother mobile navigation.
- New builds: Wallet Tracker, DCA rollout, Trenches V3 with sound alerts.
- Future focus: the long-anticipated EVM expansion, bringing Banana-grade execution to more DEXs, stablecoins, and markets.
The message: polish today, power tomorrow.
Market Context: Perps and Protocols
Outside the Banana jungle, the broader crypto market kept buzzing. Aster Dex posted a staggering $85B in daily perps volume, overtaking Binance itself and pulling in $25M in revenue in a single day. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid won praise from Ark’s Cathie Wood, who likened it to “early Solana.”
For Banana users, the takeaway is clear: capital keeps flowing on-chain, and the tools that best connect traders to it will define the next cycle.
Beyond Trading: Community and Media
Banana isn’t just code. It’s a culture.
- BananaTV broadcasts weekly recaps and market rundowns on YouTube and TikTok, giving traders strategy and narrative, not just stats.
- Revenue sharing from $BANANA flows back to holders every 4 hours, no staking or claiming required.
- Community conviction on Twitter remains fierce, with holders amplifying fees, charts, and milestones even when price action lags.
Banana has moved from being a tool to being a brand, a signal in the noise of memecoins.
Why It Leads
Competitors either chase speed or chase safety. Banana built both into one platform, across multiple chains, with continuous development and actual user alignment.
That’s why it dominates Ethereum. That’s why it surged to first on BSC. That’s why Solana traders are adopting Banana Pro as their default terminal.
Banana isn’t just participating in the bot wars. It’s writing the rules.
