🔥 Is Ethereum ($ETH ) losing its crown to Solana? September 2025

For years, Ethereum ($ETH ) was the undisputed king of dApps, DeFi, and NFTs. But in September 2025, Solana ($SOL ) is not only hot on its heels... many are already claiming it has surpassed it.

📊 Data that makes ETH maximalists uncomfortable:

- Transaction speed: Solana processes over 65,000 TPS compared to Ethereum with less than 30 TPS without layer 2.

- Fees: Solana keeps fees below $0.01, while Ethereum continues to rely on external solutions to avoid collapse.

- Developer adoption: More than 40% of new Web3 projects in 2025 launched on Solana.

- NFTs and gaming: Solana leads in transaction volume in blockchain games and digital collectibles.

🧨 Is Ethereum becoming obsolete?

Despite its advancements with Ethereum 2.0, the network still faces scalability and congestion issues. Meanwhile, Solana has proven to be more efficient, cheaper, and more user-friendly for the average user.
