Popular crypto analyst and YouTuber Alex Becker recently shared his perspective on major altcoins, suggesting that Cardano could potentially outperform Solana in the current cycle.
Although ADA (Cardano) has a significantly lower market capitalization compared to Solana (SOL), Becker indicated that this token could yield higher returns in the coming months.
Becker Sees Growth Potential for ADA
At the time of writing, Cardano was trading between $0.735 and $0.765, after peaking over $0.83 on May 23. In contrast, Solana was holding at $174.76 with a market capitalization nearing $91 billion, while Cardano's valuation remained under $28 billion. However, Becker believes that ADA has much more room for growth.
In a YouTube video, Becker pointed out that although both Cardano and Solana are strong platforms, Cardano could offer a larger upside. He considered Ethereum to be a safer bet but added that ADA presents an opportunity for a 5x to 8x return. If ADA were to rise 8x from its current level, it would trade at approximately $6.10.
Becker also acknowledged Solana's stability and performance but suggested that ADA could bring more aggressive profits, along with Sui and other mid-cap tokens. When considering higher-risk, higher-reward trade entry points, he leaned toward Cardano.
Becker Remains Bullish on ADA Despite Criticizing the Cardano Community
Becker is known for his often critical stance toward the Cardano community, yet he maintains a bullish outlook on ADA. In March, he predicted that Cardano could reach $5.
In April, Becker revealed that he had accumulated a significant amount of ADA during market lows and was enjoying substantial profits. While he sarcastically mentioned feeling "terrible" and "disgusted" by these profits, he acknowledged the strong growth potential and joked that a rise to $5 could elevate his wealth to "Dubai royal family" status.
Although he frequently rejects the Cardano community, he expressed admiration for Charles Hoskinson, the project's founder.
Hoskinson Adds Institutional Context
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, shared his thoughts on ADA's position in a March interview for the Gokhshtein podcast. He compared Cardano and XRP to resilient blue-chip assets, contrasting them with Solana's mid-term positioning.
Hoskinson mentioned that the U.S. government had included five cryptocurrencies in its strategic reserves: BTC, XRP, SOL, ETH, and ADA. He attributed ADA's inclusion to its long-term viability and ability to weather market downturns.
Hoskinson also praised Solana’s recovery after the FTX collapse, noting its rise from $8 to a historic high of $294 in January 2025. He also called Solana and Ethereum leading platforms for smart contracts.
Analyst Suggests ADA's Bull Market Hasn't Started Yet
While the focus remains on ADA's price, analysts are still assessing its long-term trajectory. Earlier this month, Dan Gambardello, founder of Crypto Capital Venture, shared a risk model indicating that ADA's bull market has yet to begin. His model rated Cardano's long-term risk at 37, which he called a "mild buy."
According to Gambardello, lower risk scores typically align with early stages of market cycles. Historical data shows that ADA has risen from similar levels to over $1 in 2017 and above $3 in 2021. This model suggests that ADA is still in the growth phase and is awaiting the right moment for a bullish breakout.
