According to the external review, Solana is able to follow up on the market value and even outpace the Ethera, and the core is not a single price fluctuation, but rather a network-use cost, processing efficiency and market judgement of its sustainability. The competition was summarized in three points: lower cost, faster speed, and repair capacity after the FTX shock.
Low handling fees attract high frequency scenes
According to the article, one of the most prominent advantages of Solana is that of lower transaction costs. The single transaction cost is usually less than US$ 0.01, while the single transaction cost of the Taipei Master Network may rise from US$ 1 to dozens.
In this comparison, games, micropayments, NFT markets and user-oriented applications are easier to select for less costly networks. For highly interactive scenes, differences in handling fees directly affect user retention and application activity.
Main web speed is still more important.
In addition to the costs, the article included the second reason for the speed of processing. It is mentioned that the ETA host network handles about 15 to 30 transactions per second, while Solana handles thousands under practical conditions.
According to the article, higher throughput means faster exchange experience, smoother chain interaction and shorter trade waiting times. Such differences in experience often affect the choice of the public chain by developers and users.
FTX rehabilitation brings new expectations
The article mentions that Solana fell $10 after the FTX crash in 2022, when the market once believed that the project would suffer a long-term setback. Since then, however, their prices have been significantly repaired and, in subsequent years, have been updated several times in historical heights.
According to the text, the last high point for Solana was last January, at a price of US$ 293.31. By contrast, the Ether factory only gained a new historical high in 2025 in cattle. According to this article, the re-pricing of Solana ' s resilience by the market is one of the reasons why it continues to narrow the gap with the Etherwood.
However, the article is essentially a point-of-view exercise and focuses on explaining why some market participants continue to appreciate the relative performance of Solana, rather than confirming that they have already exceeded their market value.
