In Q3 2025, Solana (SOL) lagged Ethereum (ETH), with SOL's economic value at $222.7M (-18% QoQ) versus ETH's $169.5M (+17% QoQ), and ETH surging 66.55% in price.
For Q4, SOL's rebound potential is robust, with analysts eyeing $200–$300 (up ~58% from ~$190), fueled by Hong Kong ETF approvals, network upgrades, and institutional inflows.
Solana's TPS edge derives from Proof-of-History (PoH) syncing with Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Tower BFT consensus, yielding theoretical 65,000 TPS (real-world 1,000–4,000), dwarfing ETH's 15–30 TPS. This enables sub-$0.00025 fees, boosting DeFi/NFT scalability amid high-volume demands.
