Scaramucci Predicts Solana Will Overtake Ethereum in Market Cap – The Shocking Reasons Why

Wall Street’s favorite crypto bull, Anthony Scaramucci, just dropped a bombshell—Solana could flip Ethereum. And no, this isn’t another ‘ETH killer’ hype cycle.

Why? Speed, cost, and institutional momentum. While Ethereum’s gas fees still make retail traders weep, Solana’s blazing throughput and sub-penny transactions are stealing the spotlight. Plus, let’s be real—after the tenth ‘scalability upgrade’ delay, even Ethereum maxis are side-eyeing their bags.

But here’s the kicker: Scaramucci’s SkyBridge Capital is doubling down. With Solana’s DeFi ecosystem exploding and institutional players quietly stacking SOL, the ‘flippening’ chatter isn’t just Twitter noise anymore.

Of course, Ethereum’s diehards will scream ‘decentralization!’—right before paying $50 to swap tokens. Meanwhile, Solana’s quietly eating lunch. Game on.

Solana as the ‘Ethereum Killer’

To confirm whether Solana could actually ‘kill’ Ethereum and become a new force in the crypto sphere, AMBCrypto took a look at the altcoin’s on-chain metrics.

Daily active addresses measure the unique addresses active in the network. On the 18th of June, Solana recorded 5,290,543 unique addresses for the day. It topped at 10,308,559 on the 20th of January.

In comparison, Ethereum saw an active address count of 370,238 on the 18th of June, topping out at 588,817 in 2025 on the 25th of January.

Solana had much higher traffic, but Ethereum continued to dominate the DeFi landscape. Data showed that its network had 55.8% of the total value locked (TVL) in the crypto ecosystem. This TVL measured $62.54 billion.

The SOL/ETH chart has traded within a range since early 2025. Over the past two months, Solana has dramatically underperformed ETH, losing 32% in this window.

It was approaching the range low, which suggested a SOL/ETH reversal.

Traders can look for opportunities to trade Solana and Solana-based tokens once the SOL/ETH range low retest occurs. Till then, expect Solana to continue to underperform relative to the leading altcoin.
