- Solana currently leads Ethereum in 7-day DEX trading volume while the latter leads in 24-hour DEX trading volume.
The Solana and Ethereum debate has come up a lot in this market cycle, especially with SOL currently outperforming ETH. Veteran trader Peter Brandt has also weighed in on the conversation and provided insights into why SOL is ahead of ETH from a trader’s perspective.
Why Solana Is Ahead Of Ethereum
In an X post, Peter Brandt mentioned that Solana is breaking out into new highs while Ethereum is “chewing” into overhead resistance. He made this statement while analyzing SOL and ETH’s weekly chart from a trader’s perspective.
The Solana chart he shared showed that SOL is on the brink of breaking the resistance at $200 and flying past its current all-time high (ATH) of $260. This aligns with a CoinGape analysis, which noted that the Solana price is eyeing $300 as SOL ETF approval odds rise.
Meanwhile, the Ethereum chart showed that ETH is still ranging and is struggling to break above the $2,800 resistance. However, ETH could still eventually reach new highs as Brandt stated that both altcoins are poised for breakouts to the upside to join Bitcoin. The Ethereum Foundation recently launched the Pectra Testnet, a development that could again inspire confident ETH investors as ETH price eyes $4,000.
For now, Peter Brandt is more bullish on SOL because he favors new highs, which the altcoin is already breaking into. The veteran trader also remarked that he prefers Solana over Ethereum. According to him, ETH is a “completely broken utility coin” whose complexity and cost of use are terrible.
The Battle For DeFi Dominance
Solana and Ethereum continue to battle for decentralized finance (DeFi) dominance. Recently, the former has topped the latter in decentralized exchange (DEX) volume among chains. However, DeFiLlama data shows that Ethereum may again be looking to reclaim its crown.
In the last 24 hours, Ethereum is number 1 among all networks in terms of DEX volume. The network has witnessed a trading volume of $2.94 billion during this period. Solana is behind with a trading volume of $2.53 billion in the last 24 hours.
However, it is worth mentioning that Solana still leads Ethereum in 7-day trading volume, with $13.61 billion traded on the network during this period. Meanwhile, Ethereum boasts a 7-day volume of $10.99 billion.
