Will Solana outshine Ethereum and take the crown?

-

Anthony Scaramucci, the SkyBridge Capital big boss, just said Solana is gonna flip Ethereum’s market cap.

The guy’s quite confident Solana will overtake Ethereum, the reigning champ. But is this just talk, or is there some muscle behind the words?

Flippening?

At the DigiAssets 2025 conference, Scaramucci didn’t mince words. But he wasn’t throwing shade at Ethereum either. Nope.

“I think SOL will turn ETH around. I understands the Solana story a little bit better.”

It’s like when you root for the underdog in your office fantasy football league because you get their hustle, you know? Now, let’s get real.

Ethereum’s market cap sits at $303.8 billion. Solana? A modest $77.4 billion. For Solana to pull off this flip, it needs to nearly quadruple its value, pushing its price to around $570 per token, while Ethereum remains the same.

Ambitious? Absolutely. But not impossible. Standard Chartered predicts Solana could hit $500 by 2029, while Ethereum might trade at $7,500. So, the race is on, but it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Vires in numeris

And here’s where it gets juicy, because Solana’s daily active addresses, think of them as unique visitors to a website, are crushing Ethereum’s numbers.

On June 18, Solana boasted over 5.2 million active addresses, while Ethereum lagged at just over 370,000.

Solana’s traffic is like that new coffee shop everyone’s buzzing about, packed to the brim. Ethereum? More like the classic café that’s steady but not overcrowded.

King of the hill

But don’t count Ethereum out just yet. When it comes to DeFi, Ethereum still rules the roost, holding 55% of the total value locked in the crypto market.

That’s a cool $62.54 billion. It’s like the office manager who’s got all the keys and controls the budget, pretty hard to dethrone.

The SOL/ETH price dance has been a tug of war since early 2025. Lately, Solana’s been stumbling, losing about 32% against Ethereum over two months.

It’s flirting with the bottom of its trading range, hinting at a possible reversal. Traders are watching closely, waiting for that perfect moment to jump in.

So, Solana’s got the hustle and the hype, but Ethereum’s got the legacy and the muscle. It’s not a finished battle yet.
