#solanachallengethereum Institutional adoption and regulation: Solana facing Ethereum’s challenges

Solana operates in a complex political and regulatory context. Cryptocurrency regulation is being structured under the watchful eye of authorities. Scaramucci reminds us that despite some frictions, Solana’s institutional adoption is inevitable. He cites Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, who is cautious but open by allowing his clients increasingly easy access to BTC. This gradual adoption marks a difference with Ethereum, which has already crossed certain milestones like Pectra and Fusaka, but still faces technical and regulatory challenges.

The bipartisan work initiated under the Trump administration, he continues, prepares a less partisan framework for crypto regulation. This could accelerate the integration of blockchains like Solana into traditional finance. The on-chain IPO is a key example: it would allow capital raising without banks, simply with a wallet. The promise is huge: fees reduced from 7% to 0.10-0.20% for a tokenized IPO. Millions of unbanked users could thus access the financial market, a true social revolution.

A robust technical ecosystemThe Solana network hosts a range of innovations that strengthen its position against Ethereum. Its speed is likened to light, according to Scaramucci, with near-instantaneous transactions. The high throughput and minimal costs appeal to Wall Street CTOs. The Solana ecosystem is enriched with diverse projects, despite criticism about memecoins. The technology also enables new financial uses, such as staking, decentralized loans, and yield farming.The network resembles a financial cloud where different applications coexist. This analogy supports the idea that, even if Ethereum dominates, Solana is a serious competitor well-positioned for growth. Solana is also very adept at diversification. Beyond financial innovations, the network supports the development of dedicated devices, such as blockchain and cryptocurrency-adapted phones. #writetoearn
