Solana vs Ethereum: Is SOL’s lead a sign of a new crypto pecking order Profiting from Bitcoin’s decline, Solana has overtaken Ethereum.
Can ETH make a resurgence when momentum shifts?
Solana [SOL], sometimes known as the “Ethereum Killer,” has proven remarkably resilient during this bull market. Its ranking among the top weekly gainers, while Ethereum [ETH] stays flat, has earned it this accolade in addition to its market capitalization.
SOL is doing well in current cycle as Bitcoin reaches important psychological thresholds, drawing in investors who want to move money to reduce risk—a competitive advantage that Ethereum formerly possessed.
ETH is trailing behind SOL.
Even though ETH has a $300 billion market cap, which is far larger than SOL’s $81 billion, recent changes reveal that SOL’s market value has grown by more than 5% while ETH’s has decreased by 3%.
This pattern is especially significant because it aligns with Bitcoin’s recent ascent to almost $70,000, which is a 16.67% gain in just ten days.
High-cap cryptocurrencies tend to draw liquidity in an overheated market as risk-averse investors look to redistribute profits.
Following that, ETH would see notable increases when BTC hit market peaks. But in contrast to earlier cycles, SOL appears to have taken the initiative this time.
A significant turning point was reached just four days ago when SOL reported a daily rise of 4%, the biggest in the previous week, while BTC encountered resistance as its price rose above the four-month-old fall.
Bitcoin saw a 2% decline the next day, setting a new local high of $70K. ETH responded by mirroring this pattern, dropping by almost 3% and retracing further.
