Solana Struggles Against Bitcoin & Ethereum Why?

Solana (SOL) has recently been lagging behind Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Solana Realized Cap Growth Has Slowed Down Recently

Solana has stacked up against the two largest coins in the sector. “Looking at price performance, SOL outpaced both ETH and BTC for most of Q4 2024,” notes the analytics firm. “However, since early December, ETH has taken the lead, outperforming the other two assets.”

As it stands right now, Bitcoin is up around 18% over the past month, Ethereum 28%, and Solana 3%. Thus, SOL has clearly fallen off after being the market leader just earlier.

What could be behind this shift in the market? The answer to the question could lie in the capital flows that these cryptocurrencies have recently been observing.

The “Realized Cap” refers to an on-chain capitalization model that calculates the total value of any digital asset by assuming that the ‘real’ value of any token in circulation is the price at which it was last transacted on the blockchain.

Since the last transfer for any coin is likely to represent the last point at which it changed hands, the price at its time could be considered its cost basis. Thus, the Realized Cap is a sum of the cost basis of all coins in the circulating supply or, more simply, a measure of the total amount of capital that the investors as a whole have put into the cryptocurrency.

In this view, changes in the Realized Cap essentially reflect the amount of capital that’s exiting out of or entering into the asset. Below is the chart for the 7-day change in the indicator shared by the analytics firm, which showcases these outflows/inflows happening for Solana and others.

The Low Cap Altcoin Alternatives to BNB – Dreamcars, Iota, and Kaia

As Bitcoin finally hits $100k, the crypto market is experiencing new record-breaking surges, and many investors are looking beyond well-established coins.

While major projects like BNB have maintained their status as top 10 cryptos, low-cap altcoins like Dreamcars, Iota, and Kaia are beginning to rise.

Asia’s Largest Web3 Ecosystem

Kaia is a public blockchain project that’s gaining attention for its unique approach to decentralized privacy. In a world where data breaches and privacy concerns are becoming increasingly prevalent, Kaia aims to offer a secure, anonymous way for users to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) and transfer assets while maintaining full control over their data. Although its market cap is still small compared to major players ($1.9 billion at the time of writing), Kaia’s potential to disrupt the privacy sector is significant.

Recent reports indicate that BlackRock has no plans to introduce any new ETFs based on XRP or other cryptocurrencies. Wu Blockchain X account, citing Bloomberg ETF analyst Erich Balchunas, shared in a recent X post that the head of BlackRock’s ETF department, Jay Jacobs, emphasized that the company's current focus remains on expanding its spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which have yet to reach a significant portion of their customer base. Wu Blockchain also noted that U.S. regulators, and the SEC in particular, are anticipated to approve ETFs, like SOL and XRP, by the end of next year. As a reminder, last month, an incident occurred involving a false filing attributed to BlackRock regarding an XRP ETF, which the company promptly denied. Meanwhile, other asset managers, including WisdomTree, Bitwise, 21Shares and Canary Capital, have submitted legitimate filings for spot XRP ETFs this year.#MarketCorrectionBuyOrHODL? $XRP $BTC

Neiro Ethereum a Scam?

We don’t have definitive evidence that Neiro Ethereum is a scam. However, it’s noteworthy that two separate analyses highlighted suspicious activity around the token, and no project team has stepped forward to claim ownership over $NEIRO. Traders should be aware that Neiro Ethereum could be a honeypot or a pump-and-dump scheme.#MarketNewHype
