According to Multicoin Capital's Kyle Samani, Solana emerges as the stronger contender when comparing Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions under the institutional capital markets (ICM) bull case framework.



The analysis highlights a three-way competition that's reshaping the narrative around blockchain scalability. While Ethereum maintains its dominance as the network effects anchor, and various L2 solutions pile on transaction throughput improvements, Solana's architecture presents a distinct value proposition—particularly for institutional adoption and market infrastructure.

What's your take on this? Are you positioning capital around SOL's high-speed settlement layer, betting on Ethereum's immense liquidity moat, or backing the L2 scaling narrative? The bull case for each carries different risk-reward dynamics worth considering in your trading strategy.
SOL1,06%
ETH0,79%

If Sol can really get a piece of the institutional cake this time, then ETH's moat isn't just for show... It looks like a bet on who will win, and it's not that simple.

To be honest, this wave of SOL is indeed impressive, but I still have more confidence in the ecological accumulation of ETH... Will institutions really buy in?

This wave of sol really has something, but will institutions really buy in? It feels like the liquidity moat of eth is still too deep.

Sol really has something this time, institutions are truly starting to take notice. I have said for a long time that speed is the key, and in the end, that bunch of L2s on eth will still be crushed.
