- Solana’s underwhelming year
- More Solana bulls
During a recent appearance at the DigiAssets 2025 conference, prominent American investor Anthony Scaramucci predicted that Solana (SOL) would end up flipping Ethereum (ETH) by market cap.
However, Scaramucci is not certain when exactly the flippening could take place.
The two cryptocurrencies are currently valued at $304 billion and $76.5 billion, respectively.
During a February CNBC appearance, Scaramucci said SkyBridge Capital preferred Solana over Ethereum because the former offers faster transactions and lower fees. He previously predicted that Solana could play a major role in tokenization.
Last May, he tweeted that there would be a Solana ETF. This came before VanEck filed with the SEC to launch such a product the following month.
Solana’s underwhelming year
Solana was up by as much as 64% against Ethereum in January while the latter was experiencing severe underperformance against Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. However, Ethereum then managed to regain a lot of ground, with the SOL/ETH pair collapsing by a whopping 25% in May. The widely tracked pair is down another 6% this month. In fact, Solana, which is also known as the main “Ethereum killer,” is actually down against the chief altcoin on a year-to-date basis.
More Solana bulls
Scaramucci is not alone. As reported by U.Today, Qiao Wang of Alliance DAO also predicted that Solana could end up flipping Ethereum due to the fact that the former is on track to become the largest chain for new founders.
Last year, Santiago R Santos, founder of Inversion Capital, also opined that he could not see a compelling reason why Solana should not be worth as much as Ethereum.
