Arthur Hayes, the founder of BitMEX, predicts Ethereum (ETH) will outperform Solana (SOL) in the next crypto market cycle. He shared his insights during a recent podcast interview.
Why Ethereum? Risk and Reward
Hayes argues that Ethereum offers a better risk-reward profile than Solana right now. He believes that when the market shifts, the “most hated” asset often performs best, and Ethereum currently fits that description. While he acknowledges Solana’s potential for growth, he doesn’t see it matching Ethereum’s performance in the coming cycle. He highlights Ethereum’s strong market fundamentals as a key factor.
Solana’s Memecoin Dependence
Hayes points out that Solana’s previous success was heavily tied to the memecoin craze. He doesn’t expect that level of frenzied memecoin trading to return, impacting Solana’s future growth. The narrative that propelled Solana’s rise—being the go-to platform for memecoins—is fading, he says. This shift in the market narrative will likely limit Solana’s upside potential compared to Ethereum.
