TLDR:
🍌 $21.8K in bot fees: down 41.9% from last week as market activity cooled and alt participation thinned out. ETH led with $10.3K (~47% share) while BTC remained chopped between $65K–$70K and fund flows flipped to $1B in net inflows, ending the five week outflow streak of doom and despair.
Bot Fees & Chain Breakdown
This past week (February 23rd–March 1st), Banana Gun generated $21,868 in total bot fees, marking a 41.9% pullback from the previous week’s $37,635. After a strong recovery stretch, trading activity cooled significantly as broader market momentum weakened. The week lacked high-conviction breakout sessions, with capital flowing defensively into majors while alt participation thinned out.
⬇️ ETH: $10,347 (Fee participation: ~47.3%) | Previous Week: $19,685
Ethereum remained the dominant chain despite a ~47% decline week-over-week. Liquidity concentrated here as traders leaned toward depth and execution stability. Fewer spike days, but ETH continues to anchor platform activity during slower cycles.
⬇️ SOL: $7,184 (Fee participation: ~32.8%) | Previous Week: $13,029
Solana cooled ~44.9% following last week’s rebound. Daily flows were steadier but lacked aggressive volatility bursts. SOL thrives on high activity weeks, but that’s not really the case for this week.
⬇️ BASE: $1,163 (Fee participation: ~5.3%) | Previous Week: $1,904
BASE softened another ~38.9% as alt engagement declined. No meaningful breakout sessions, just consistent low-range participation.
⬇️ BSC: $2,487 (Fee participation: ~11.4%) | Previous Week: $2,627
BSC held comparatively firm, down only ~5.3%. Retail participation slowed but didn’t disappear. Structure remains intact for the next liquidity rotation.
🍌 Others (Virtuals): $687 (Fee participation: ~3.1%)
Background routing ticked slightly higher in relative share as overall volume compressed.
Total fees: $21,868 (vs. $37,635 last week)
A clear cooldown week. ETH held dominance, SOL remained relevant, while BASE and BSC stepped back.
As always, 40% goes straight back to holders.

Market Insights
Reactive price swings, fragile sentiment, and a market that’s currently trading headlines rather than conviction.
The market spent the week in full chop mode. Volatility stayed elevated, narratives flipped daily, and market sentiment is still down. Bitcoin made a run toward the $70K zone, climbing roughly 5–9% mid-week on ETF inflows and short-squeeze fuel, but couldn’t lock in the breakout. Price faded back into the $65K–$68K range as geopolitical tension hindered momentum. Leverage got flushed, supply reset, and liquidity stayed rather thin for traders.
Outflows finally stopped this week and flipped into net inflows of about $1.0 B, ending the five-week $4.0B red streak and signaling a clear shift in capital behaviour. Trading volumes had been weak coming into the week, but renewed accumulation by larger holders and technical resets helped flip sentiment back toward entry points rather than exits. Bitcoin dominated the rebound with approximately $881M in inflows, showing the largest bid presence in some time, while Ethereum posted around $117M, its strongest week since mid-January. Solana continued to lead altcoins with $53.8M of inflows, reinforcing the fact that it’s the go-to alt coin when institutional interest resurfaces.
Some smaller tokens also saw selective interest: Chainlink recorded modest inflows, adding to the broad-based recovery theme, though not enough to overshadow the majors. Recent discussions with allocators have reportedly centered more on finding entry zones than reducing exposure. This week’s flows reflect a market that was looking for technical weakness and hunting for deals, and the return of size after weeks of withdrawal gives a potential greenlight for further activity in the upcoming weeks.
ONE PLATFORM TO RULE THEM ALL. BIG UPGRADES ARE AROUND THE CORNER. 🍌
