The numbers behind 1inch in 2025

A look back at the numbers that defined trading on 1inch in 2025.

2025 was a year shaped by real choices: where to trade, which networks to use, whether to make an instant swap or place a limit order. Looking at the numbers shows how trading on 1inch actually evolved over the year.

In 2025, 1inch hit:

• $214 bln in total swap volume – up 39% year on year.
• 114 mln swaps completed –  more than 2× last year’s activity.

Behind these milestones is steady demand for efficient, large-scale trading and a growing group of users who rely on 1inch as part of their everyday DeFi flow.

 Where the volume came from

Users didn’t spread their activity evenly across every chain. Most trading focused on a few core networks that felt familiar, liquid and reliable.

Ethereum

$97.1 bln in swap volume over the year.

Ethereum remained the main hub for trading on 1inch and continued to anchor liquidity across the ecosystem.

BNB Chain

$82.1 bln in swap volume this year – nearly 10 times higher than last year.

BNB Chain delivered the strongest growth and became one of the most active networks on 1inch.

Arbitrum

$13.2 bln in swap volume.

Arbitrum continued to play a key role as a secondary network, supporting consistent trading activity.

Base

$8.8 bln in swap volume.

Base followed closely, reinforcing its position among the core networks used by 1inch traders.

Networks newly added to 1inch

Several chains joined 1inch and started generating measurable trading activity shortly after integration.

• Linea: ~$96 mln
• Unichain: ~$152 mln
• Sonic: ~$17 mln

These numbers show one simple thing. Once a network is available on 1inch, users start putting it to use.

Cross-chain swaps are picking up

Cross-chain trading also gained traction over the past year.

In total, users executed $697mln in cross-chain swaps on 1inch, completing 148K swaps across multiple networks. Nearly 48K users used cross-chain functionality during the period.

Activity concentrated around a few key routes. Ethereum acted as the main hub, connecting liquidity across ecosystems:

• Ethereum → BNB: $174.7 mln in volume
• BNB → Ethereum: $127.4 mln
• Ethereum → Arbitrum: $77.4 mln

These flows highlight growing demand for seamless movement of liquidity between major networks, with Ethereum continuing to play a central role in cross-chain trading.

What this tells us

Dune dashboard data reveals a more focused pattern of growth, with activity concentrating on core networks, while newer chains gradually come into play.

What’s next

More innovation is coming. Cross-chain swaps will continue to get faster and more convenient, making it easier to move liquidity across networks as trading on 1inch evolves.

2026 is going to be even more exciting! Stay tuned!
