Swiss crypto bank Sygnum has highlighted in its latest monthly report that Solana (SOL) has emerged as the strongest competitor to Ethereum (ETH) in the financial sector. By leveraging Ethereum’s weaknesses, Solana has managed to carve out a significant advantage, and this advantage continues to grow.
Solana’s Rise in the Financial Industry
The competition between Solana and Ethereum took a deeper turn two years ago, especially after Visa partnered with Solana for USD Coin transactions. Solana’s high-speed performance and low transaction costs have made it an attractive option for financial partners, leading to further growth.
Recently, Franklin Templeton’s announcement of a new Solana-based investment fund accelerated this momentum. These partnerships have significantly increased Solana’s visibility in the financial world and solidified its role as a serious long-term competitor to Ethereum.
Comparing Solana and Ethereum
The competition manifests across various areas. For example, while Ethereum’s decentralized exchange (DEX) volume has fallen from $2 billion to $1.7 billion since August, Solana’s DEX volume has remained stable, even showing slight improvements. This highlights Solana’s resilience and growing strength.

In addition, Solana’s strategic partnerships with major financial institutions have attracted new investors, threatening Ethereum’s market dominance. Partnerships with giants like Visa have turned Solana into a more appealing investment vehicle while challenging Ethereum in areas where it once dominated.
Solana Capitalizes on Ethereum’s Weaknesses
Solana has built a strong case for users and developers by offering high transaction volumes and low fees. With Ethereum still struggling with high gas fees, many users are turning to Solana as an alternative. This weakness is driving Solana’s rapid growth and its appeal as a more user-friendly platform.
The Future Potential
While Solana has made impressive strides in a relatively short four-year period, Ethereum still maintains dominance in some areas, especially in decentralized applications (dApps). To truly rival Ethereum, Solana will need to innovate more aggressively in this space.
However, Solana’s technological advancements and financial partnerships signal a future where competition could intensify. Whether Solana can unseat Ethereum remains to be seen, but the battle for blockchain dominance is far from over.
