An analysis indicates that Solana is unlikely to surpass Ethereum as the dominant blockchain, primarily due to a lack of institutional investor appeal. Sygnum bank highlights that traditional financial institutions, prioritizing security and stability, will heavily influence the cryptocurrency market's future. Solana's revenue stream, heavily reliant on the volatile memecoin sector, lacks the stability institutions seek. Ethereum offers a more robust and secure foundation, making it the preferred choice for institutional investment. While Solana leads in Layer 1 fee market share, most fees benefit validators, not necessarily enhancing the Solana token's value. Ethereum's revenue significantly outweighs Solana's, being 2 to 2.5 times higher, solidifying its position. Thus, Ethereum's well-established ecosystem and proven reliability provide a stronger foundation for long-term growth and institutional adoption compared to Solana's speculative gains. ```
