Economist Alex Krüger believes Solana (SOL) is undervalued compared to Ethereum (ETH). In a recent interview, he highlighted the bustling ecosystem and potential of SOL.
Ecosystem Activity
According to Krüger, Solana’s ecosystem is more active than ETH’s. He points to the high trading volume of memecoins on SOL, which indicates retail interest. This contrasts with ETH, where no memecoin has a daily trading volume exceeding $3 million.
Innovation and Applications
SOL’s speed and low cost have attracted developers, leading to innovative applications not available on ETH. Hivemapper, for example, is a decentralized mapping platform that benefits from SOL’s fast transaction times.
Community and Adoption
SOL has a strong native community, with many users unaware of other blockchains. This has contributed to its growth and adoption.
Market Outlook
Krüger believes the crypto market will continue to trend upwards. He recommends investing rather than trading, as valuations have not yet adjusted to 2023 levels.
