A crypto analyst has reignited the debate between Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), evaluating which cryptocurrency was more superior. Considering recent market trends and performances of both altcoins, the analyst has finally identified a clear winner in the competition.
Solana Wins Battle Against Ethereum
In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, legendary crypto trader and analyst, Peter Brandt drew a comparison between Solana and Ethereum, spotlighting their fundamental characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. Based on his analysis, Brandt suggests that it was inevitable that one will be recognized as the clear winner or superior blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Sharing a price chart of Solana/Ethereum, the analyst offered a critical view of Ethereum, highlighting several vulnerabilities that are plaguing the blockchain. Despite being the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Brandt has described ETH as a difficult network to use, likely attributing this to its slow transaction speeds.
He stated that Ethereum was expensive, cumbersome, and flawed. Moreover, the analyst has cast doubts on Ethereum’s claim to decentralization, suggesting that the blockchain was not as decentralized as it presents itself to be.
On the other hand, Brandt praised Solana for its numerous strengths and noteworthy characteristics. The analyst points out that Solana’s ability to offer high speed transactions at a fraction of the cost of Ethereum was impressive.
Brandt also disclosed that Solana’s network was easier to use, making it more accessible to developers and users. Additionally, the analyst highlights that Solana maintains a strong technical base, possibly referring to the blockchain’s unique Proof Of History (PoH) consensus mechanism.
From the analyst’s perspective, Solana’s strong fundamentals and superior functionalities gives it a significant edge over Ethereum. He concluded his analysis with a bold prediction, stating that Solana could gain 100% in value relative to Ethereum in the months ahead.
This underscores the analyst’s belief that Solana could potentially outperform Ethereum in the market. While Brandt’s comparison of Ethereum and Solana may suggest a bias against Ethereum, the analyst has clarified that he actually does not dislike ETH.
ETH Forms Death Cross While SOL Surges To $160
A crypto analyst identified as ‘KickEx’ revealed in an X post that Ethereum and Bitcoin are forming a death cross on their respective price charts. The analyst notes that ETH’s recent market crash has led to the formation of a worrisome technical pattern.
KickEx has disclosed that if the death cross pattern plays out, Ethereum may experience a massive price decline in the liquidity range of around $2,000 per coin. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2,682, reflecting a 10.84% increase, according to CoinMarketCap.
While Ethereum’s price faces a potentially bleak future outlook, Solana has been performing relatively well in the market. The cryptocurrency recently hit the $160 price level, marking a rise of over 10%. Although the cryptocurrency has since retreated to $157, Solana continues to show strong bullish signals amidst market downtrends.
