Ethereum vs SOL, who is better?

Aside from Bitcoin, Ethereum is also a dominant player and a leader among altcoins, but by 2025 it seems to have a bit of a 'waste of resources' vibe. After reaching a high this year, both Ethereum and SOL have fallen over 65%, giving a sense of a bear market! Bitcoin has rebounded to approach 90,000, while Ethereum can't even touch 1700 (it only surged later) and SOL is struggling at the 140 mark.

Why is the Ethereum ecosystem so desolate? Internal issues + the rise of new public chains, with SOL and others grabbing market share and funds. This rebound relies heavily on Bitcoin leading the way, and the 'Trump' effect has played a significant role! But don’t rush to call it an altcoin season; it's still uncertain how far Bitcoin’s rally can go. Altcoin bull market? Let's take it slow!

Who is better? In the short term, the Ethereum ecosystem is sluggish, while SOL offers better value for money, with superior capital inflow and community activity. However, in the long term, Ethereum's network effect and developer base remain its trump card. If it can solve scalability and high gas fee issues, there is hope for a turnaround. While SOL is fast and cheap, its stability and decentralization still need to be proven.

Conclusion: SOL has more potential in the short term, but Ethereum should not be underestimated in the long run!
