Solana, once hyped as the “Ethereum Killer,” has yet to reclaim momentum. Is the market underpricing SOL’s long-term positioning relative to ETH? Once dubbed the “Ethereum [ETH] Killer,” Solana’s [SOL] inability to reclaim market share is becoming harder to ignore. Not only has it failed to dethrone ETH, it hasn’t even reclaimed the $100 billion market cap threshold. Still, whispers across the market are growing louder. Under the hood, Solana’s fundamentals are tightening. A spot ETF for SOL may no longer be a question of “if,” but “when.” And when it does land, could it trigger a capital rotation that finally challenges Ethereum’s altcoin supremacy? A strong case for revaluation The impact of a Wall Street listing is no joke. Both Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum have already demonstrated this. However, Solana is quickly catching up. Defi Dev Corp., an investment firm that invests in a diverse range of digital assets, recently added approximately 172,670 SOL worth 23.6 million to its holdings. This acquisition boosted its total Solana position to 595,988 SOL. In fact, surpassing the $100 million mark in treasury value. No surprise, this firm is being dubbed Solana’s “ MicroStrategy.” But beyond just the accumulation, there’s a deeper strategic play here. The move aligns with the growing consensus that SOL may be undervalued compared to ETH. PayPal noted this too, which prompted its shift from Ethereum to Solana. Not to forget the recent deployment of the Official Trump [TRUMP] memecoin on Solana, capitalizing on the network’s lower transaction costs and high throughput. Solana’s fundamentals speak — Will Wall Street listen? On a weekly basis, Solana’s DEX volume dominance stands tall, with a $22 billion surge. But it’s the longer-term metrics where the real story begins to unfold. Since the launch of Ethereum’s ETF last year, Solana has seen an astronomical 224.5% surge in daily active addresses, reaching 3.40 million. Meanwhile, Ethereum has experienced an 8.5% drop to 355.1k, illustrating a clear divergence in network activity. But t his growth isn’t just theoretical — the SOL/ETH chart is starting to reflect the difference.

This momentum was later accelerated by the launch of the TRUMP memecoin, triggering a 25.33% rally in Solana’s relative value. Overall, even with Ethereum’s spot ETF, Solana’s still catching eyes. Big players are moving in, SOL’s use cases are expanding, and SOL/ETH is holding strong at support. It’s clear — Solana’s undervaluation is becoming more glaring by the day. With all these signals aligning, maybe it’s time Wall Street rethinks its stance on SOL. Source: https://ambcrypto.com/solana-gains-against-ethereum-will-wall-street-sit-up-and-take-notice/
