Bitcoin, as the crypto market's patriarch, generally exhibits slower, more stable movements, influenced by institutional adoption and macro trends like ETF inflows. It's often seen as a store of value.
Solana, a "newer" generation blockchain, is known for its high transaction speeds and scalability, making it a hub for DeFi and NFTs. This often leads to more volatile price swings. While Bitcoin's moves can drag the entire market, Solana's movements are often tied to ecosystem growth and speculative interest. Both are influenced by broader crypto sentiment, but Solana typically magnifies market trends, seeing larger percentage gains and losses than Bitcoin.
