Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani predicts Solana will flip Ethereum in market cap this cycle on speed and adoption. Yet Ethereum retains its $54B DeFi moat, $146B stablecoins, and L2 dominance, while Solana leads in 30-day chain fees and retail trading activity.
Solana is showing renewed bullish momentum after breaking out from a long-term Cup and Handle pattern, with analyst JAVON MARKS pointing to a potential $500-plus target.

Solana price has reached the $110.60 target identified by analyst LAR7Crypto, with the trade now fully closed. The analyst expects a possible short-term pullback before another attempt at $120, while $47.62 million in U.S. spot Solana ETF inflows adds fresh market context.
