Solana extends gains after hitting all-time high against Ethereum

Solana rallied to a fresh high against Ethereum (ETH) on Wednesday. SOL is considered one of the leading competitors of Ether’s smart contract blockchain. It is therefore a key development for SOL traders that SOL/ETH hit a new all-time high.

A technical analyst (behind the X handle @KarenZh30739159)at Foresight News identified what differentiates Solana from Ethereum and explained the reason for SOL’s price rally as Ethereum hovers around $2,600. Ethereum expanded its ecosystem through Layer 2 and 3 chains as well as alternative scaling solutions. However, in the same time frame, Solana gained popularity through meme coins and new token launches on the chain.

Retail traders and their interest in Solana is likely one of the key factors driving gains in the altcoin.
