The ongoing debate between Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), two of the most popular altcoins in the market, attracts the attention of both individual and institutional investors.
Although Ethereum has a leading position in the altcoin market, Solana manages to overshadow ETH in certain areas.
This being the case, the question that comes to mind is: “Solana has more impressive features than Ethereum in some aspects. Why hasn't Solana's institutional adoption surpassed Ethereum yet?”
Analysts at VanEck research firm MarketVector have studied Solana’s offerings and the potential for its market cap to rival that of Ethereum.
At this point, MarketVector analysts argued that thanks to Solana's technological features, Ethereum's market value could reach half and the price could reach $330.
Analysts have listed the features that will allow Solana to reach 50 percent of Ethereum as follows:
1-Solana Has Technological Superiority Over Ethereum!
Comparing Ethereum and Solana, analysts said that the data was very striking for SOL.
According to data, Solana processes 3,000% more transactions than Ethereum, has 1,300% more daily active users, and transaction fees are almost 5 million% cheaper.
Analysts described these data as huge differences that showcase Solana’s potential efficiency and scalability advantages over Ethereum.
2. Why Is Solana Still So Undervalued?
Analysts, who stated that there are various opinions on this subject, said that the research conducted shows that this situation is about to change. In other words, Solana may be preparing for a big breakout.
Analysts have claimed that Solana has the potential to reach 50% of Ethereum’s market value, with predictions taking SOL to $330.
3-DeFi, Stablecoins and Its Superiority in Payments!
Analysts noted that the DeFi sector, stablecoins, and payments will drive the growth of the Solana blockchain.
Analysts have noted that SOL has become important for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and the DEX ecosystem, citing the fact that SOL offers users and investors faster, lower-fee transactions. At this point, the continued expansion of DeFi could further support SOL’s growth as it challenges Ethereum’s position.
Corporates Are Also Starting to Take Notice of Solana!
Analysts said that retail investors are starting to realize the advantages of Solana, and institutional investors are also slowly starting to realize SOL's potential.
At this point, analysts think that investors may now diversify by investing in multiple L1 blockchains, including not only Ethereum but also ETH and Solana, to reduce their risks and gain more returns. This will increase both the price and market value of SOL.
