**Solana Set to Surge? VanEck Predicts a Bright Future**

VanEck's latest report forecasts Solana (SOL) could skyrocket to $330, capturing 50% of Ethereum's (ETH) market cap. Why? Solana's blazing speed and cost efficiency.

- **Speed & Efficiency**: Solana processes thousands of transactions per second (TPS), 3,000% faster than Ethereum. Plus, its transaction fees are nearly 5 million percent cheaper.

- **User Base**: Solana boasts 1,300% more daily active users than Ethereum.

- **DeFi Potential**: Stablecoins and decentralized finance activities could benefit from Solana's metrics, passing on cost savings to users.

Retail investors are catching on, but institutional investors remain hesitant, possibly due to loyalty to established assets like ETH.

Meanwhile, Ethereum's price struggles, partly due to the rise of layer-2 networks and faster competitors like Solana and Sui (SUI). Despite Ethereum's first-mover advantage, its dominance is waning.
