Recent assessments from Sygnum Bank suggest that Solana 
$164 may gain an advantage over Ethereum 
$0.00014 in terms of smart contract superiority. The report also indicates that some of Solana’s transaction volume metrics may be exaggerated and that Ethereum holds only a small portion of the market share.
Solana and Ethereum
Sygnum observes that Solana’s transaction volumes are largely based on meme coin issuance and trading. This observation could imply that Solana’s overall use cases are limited.
The bank proposes that when traditional financial firms launch tokenization platforms and stablecoins, Solana might have an advantage over Ethereum. This strategy could enhance Solana’s adoption. Given the network’s speed and near-zero costs compared to competitors, Solana appears well-positioned for a promising future in tokenization.
Solana and Institutional Interest
Recently, PayPal incorporated Solana for stablecoin transactions, with a PayPal executive stating at a Solana event that “Ethereum is not the best solution for payments.” Visa also adopted Solana for USD Coin, highlighting its high transaction capacity, low costs, and resilience.
Franklin Templeton announced plans to launch an investment fund on Solana, while Citi is reportedly evaluating the Solana network for cross-border payment transactions. These developments indicate an increasing acceptance of Solana among financial institutions.
While Ethereum’s market capitalization stands at $291.6 billion, Solana’s is at $67.1 billion, suggesting that Solana has more room for growth. Its scalability may play a crucial role in its preference among traditional financial institutions, potentially increasing its competitive strength against Ethereum in the future.
Although SOL has a lower market cap than ETH, its scalability and cost advantages could provide significant competitive leverage. The growing interest from traditional financial institutions may bolster the network’s future growth potential.
