A recent report highlighted three major reasons Solana (SOL) has struggled to 
keep pace with Ethereum (ETH), at least from a market performance perspective 
that goes beyond day-to-day price movements. Market expert Dominic Basulto 
from The Motley Fool pointed to factors that, in his view, have shaped 
investor sentiment and affected Solana’s momentum in key areas. The Meme Coin 
Hangover One of the most important drivers, Basulto said, is how many 
investors still associate Solana with the meme coin craze of 2024. During that 
period, Solana became the preferred destination for people minting and trading 
meme coins, and the conversation frequently included the idea of a “meme coin 
supercycle.” At its high point, the meme coin market was valued at around $150 
billion. Today, Basulto said the segment is worth less than $40 billion, and 
many individual meme coins are still far below their 2024 highs. For some 
investors, according to the expert, the connection between Solana and that 
hype cycle never fully faded, which may have contributed to lingering 
hesitation toward the network. Related Reading: Hyperliquid (HYPE) Breaks New 
All-Time High—Surges Past $62 As Momentum Spikes A second explanation involves 
Solana’s attempt to build a mobile-first crypto ecosystem—and the belief that 
it never took off as its early ambitions suggested. Back in June 2022, Solana 
announced the launch of a mobile device called Saga, along with a broader 
mobile strategy. Basulto noted that the Saga was positioned as a breakthrough, 
but at a price of $999, it struggled to compete with mainstream smartphones. 
While Solana later introduced a cheaper alternative, the bigger idea of 
creating a mobile crypto environment did not seem to catch on with investors 
or consumers at the scale required to create a sustained advantage. Solana ETF 
Momentum Falls Short The third reason Basulto raised centers on Solana 
exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the expectation that they would draw in a 
meaningful wave of institutional interest. He noted that eight spot Solana 
ETFs are now trading in the US, but they have not achieved the momentum seen 
with spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs, which launched in January 2024. The rollout of 
spot Solana ETFs was widely viewed as a potential catalyst—something that 
could bring more institutional capital into the space. Instead, Basulto said 
Solana ETF momentum has remained limited. He estimated that total assets under 
management (AUM) for spot Solana ETFs are currently about $1.1 billion, which 
contrasts sharply with spot Bitcoin ETFs that reportedly pulled in $100 
billion in less than 12 months. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miners Warn No Bottom 
Yet, CryptoQuant Says—What On-Chain Metrics Reveal Even so, Basulto’s overall 
conclusion was not pessimistic. He argued that Solana may still represent a 
stronger long-term investment compared with Ethereum, based on what he 
described as a visible shift in Solana’s direction. In his view, Solana is 
pivoting away from meme coins and moving toward stablecoins, while also 
strengthening its presence in decentralized finance (DeFi). Basulto added that 
Solana remains faster and cheaper than Ethereum, and that these advantages 
could keep drawing developers and users toward Solana over time. At the time 
of writing, SOL was trading at around $86, with losses recorded across all 
time frames, amounting to a 51% drop year-to-date (YTD). Meanwhile, ETH was 
trading just above $2,100, also recording losses across all time frames and a 
YTD drawdown of 20%. Featured image created with OpenArt, chart from
