Although the Ethereum price has increased nearly twice as fast compared to Solana in the last month, this superiority may not be permanent.

According to Adrian Fritz, the research director of the Swiss-based asset management company 21Shares, Solana has more long-term return potential.
Fritz acknowledged that Ethereum is the most secure and decentralized smart contract platform, while stating that Solana has more room for growth as a smaller project. Noting that the developer community on Solana is constantly aiming for better performance, Fritz said, "Ethereum seemed to be sitting on a throne and looking down on other Layer-2 projects. As a result, they became a bit lazy. Solana, on the other hand, exhibits a much more commercially focused structure."
Fritz believes that ETH, which ranks second in market capitalization, could reach a new all-time high this year, but he thinks it will remain well below the expected $10,000 level by some analysts. On the other hand, he predicts that Solana will rise to $337, an increase of 89% from its current level of $178. Fritz noted that Solana is increasingly approaching "blue chip altcoin" status.
