Ethereum's deeper capital liquidity favors a 65% ETH weight, while Solana's stronger trading and consumer activity warrants 35% SOL in a long-term allocation. At ~4.8 times Solana's market cap, Ethereum holds ~8.4 times its DeFi TVL and ~9.1 times its stablecoin liquidity. Solana leads in chain fees, app revenue and DEX volume, but app revenue need not accrue to SOL. Sustained growth in Solana's stablecoins, TVL and revenue could change the weights. x.com 

Solana's tokenized-equity spot momentum bolsters its case as an onchain equities venue. SolanaFloor reports Solana reclaimed first place in daily spot volume, exceeding all other chains combined. Solana may not compete with Hyperliquid in perps, but that does little to change this bullish view. x.com 

Pump.fun's continuing Solana sales add selling pressure ahead of a predicted move to $95 before the weekend. It sent another $14m of SOL to Kraken and has sold $875m since 2024 at an average of $160. x.com 

Solana is harder to fade because StonkFun's launchpad generated over $20 million in revenue in the last 30 days. SOL price action should follow. x.com 

Solana's biggest opportunity may be the financial ecosystem forming around it rather than SOL's price, as more trading, lending, staking, tokenized assets and derivatives create demand for its blockspace. Jupiter is expanding into lending, Helius builds staking infrastructure, Sentora runs stablecoin vaults and xStocks brings tokenized equities. SIMD-0553's resource-based pricing could turn more activity into more fees and SOL burned. Solana ETFs drew $10.26M last week, a seventh week of inflow. … Show more

Solana is struggling to sell blockspace, a commodity racing to zero, while heavily diluting holders. At this year's rate, fees come to about $300M against roughly $2.4B of newly minted SOL, and fees are down about 79% year over year amid competition from Ethereum, Base, Hyperliquid, Near and others. SOL is not money either, so neither a profitable-chain nor a monetary-premium bull case holds. Nasdaq earns 17x what Solana does while buying back about twice as much and issuing no shares. x.com  … Show more

Solana is the base of any crypto portfolio and an immense opportunity right now; a retest of $95 would be welcome. The view that SOL is dead looks wrong as US Solana ETFs took in $60.9M on 27 August, their biggest day of 2026, per a post citing Blockworks data. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Solana looks good as it becomes one of the main places where real-world assets move on crypto rails. Per @kylobtc, tokenized equities volume on Solana grew from $1.34M to $3.32B in a single year, as stocks, treasuries, credit, commodities and collectibles start moving onchain. x.com

Solana is now a much larger coin and has already had its big growth phase, so Bitcoin should recover first. Solana moves about 1.35x as much as Bitcoin, so a 1.5x Bitcoin move implies roughly $195-$200, not the $234 level at Bitcoin's $125K high. Solana should still reclaim its old high later this cycle. x.com  x.com
