Bot Fees & Chain Breakdown
This past week (March 2nd–March 8th), Banana Gun generated $17,779 in total bot fees, marking a 18.7% decline from the previous week’s $21,868. The week started relatively stable with back to back 3.1K days, but momentum faded into the weekend with $1.7K closes. Liquidity continued compressing as broader market participation in trading platforms thinned, and volatility cooled after the prior ETF bounce.
⬇️ ETH: $6,532 (Fee participation: 36.7%) | Previous Week: $10,347
Ethereum declined 36.9% versus last week. Early activity was solid, including a strong $1.8K day on the 6th, but flows declined sharply into the weekend. ETH remains important, but without volatility expansion, spikes are limited.
⬇️ SOL: $6,453 (Fee participation: 36.3%) | Previous Week: $7,184
Solana slipped 10.2%, holding relatively firm compared to ETH. SOL briefly led daily activity midweek and showed steady participation even as overall volumes compressed. Once the market breathes again, SOL will quickly respond.
⬆️ BSC: $3,453 (Fee participation: 19.4%) | Previous Week: $2,487
BSC actually expanded 38.8% this week, becoming the relative outperformer. Early-week strength (including a $1.2K day on the 3rd) boosted its share meaningfully. Retail presence still shows up here when majors stall.
⬇️ BASE: $766 (Fee participation: 4.3%) | Previous Week: $1,163
BASE cooled another 34.1% as alt participation stayed muted. Activity remained light with only one meaningful push on the 2nd. Still quiet, still waiting for rotation.
🍌 Others (Virtuals): $575 (Fee participation: ~3.2%)
Background routing remained steady as overall volume compressed, holding similar relative share.
Total fees: $17,779
A continuation of the compression phase. Early stability, weak weekend close. ETH and SOL shared dominance almost evenly, BSC stepped up, BASE remained quiet, but expect more noise once altcoin season begins. As always, 40% goes straight back to holders. 🍌

Market Insights
This week was all about cautious price action and swings caused by political tension. Bitcoin briefly reclaimed the $70K+ zone early in the week on renewed demand and ETF inflows, but couldn’t sustain gains, drifting back into the mid $60Ks as macro uncertainty and thin liquidity kept traders cautious. Despite some rebounds, volatility remains high and narratives are still focusing on AI.
Inflows resumed this week, with digital asset investment products recording about $619M, even as late week sentiment softened and macro is still affecting markets. Strong early-week demand helped lift the asset class overall, with Bitcoin accounting for around $521M of the inflows, while Ethereum $88.5M and Solana $14.6M also attracted capital, showing that size still returns when conditions settle. Despite strong geopolitical pressure, this inflow pattern suggests investors remain opportunistic and willing to step in on dips rather than lock in losses.
Some altcoins missed this positive trend, with XRP seeing outflows $30.3M even as other names showed interest, indicating rotation within the market rather than pure demand. Weak payroll data and rising oil prices later in the week prompted profit taking and rotated positioning, but the overall positive flow for the period highlights that conviction hasn’t fully evaporated and capital is still seeking strategic entry points amid elevated volatility.
