Solana Set to Outshine Ethereum in Coming Crypto Surge, Experts Say

Move over, Ethereum—Solana’s gunning for the throne. As the next bull run looms, analysts are betting on SOL to flip ETH in performance, scalability, and maybe even developer buzz. Here’s why the ’Ethereum killer’ narrative just got fresh ammo.

Speed wins races: Solana’s 65,000 TPS dwarfs Ethereum’s 15-30, even post-Merge. Combine that with sub-penny transaction fees (while ETH gas still costs a small fortune), and the value proposition gets hard to ignore.

VCs aren’t subtle about their preferences either. Last quarter’s funding flows show Solana-based projects snagging 38% of blockchain investment—compared to Ethereum’s 29%. Nothing moves markets like institutional money chasing the next shiny thing.

Of course, Ethereum loyalists will scream about decentralization and network effects. But let’s be real—when lambo-hungry traders pile in, they’ll follow the cheapest, fastest moon-shot. Just ask the 2021 NFT crowd who paid $200 in gas to flip jpegs.

The wildcard? Whether Solana can avoid another network outage during critical momentum. Five crashes in 2023 left scars—but then again, so did Ethereum’s ICO-era growing pains. In crypto, amnesia is the most valuable token of all.

His projections place SOL reaching around $330, especially if it manages to defend a key support zone NEAR $100. Reflecting on this, he suggested that hindsight will make the opportunity seem glaringly obvious.

As for Ethereum, Inmortal pointed out that ETH’s price action around the $1,500 level could be setting the stage for a breakout — drawing parallels to patterns seen in late 2024. If history repeats itself, he hinted, many traders might soon regret hesitating at these levels.
