The cryptocurrency market sees a shift as Solana attracts investors' attention while Ethereum ETFs struggle. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe discusses the growing interest in SOL over ETH.

With two big projects going head-to-head, it seems like a new era is starting in the cryptocurrency market. The new cryptocurrency Solana (SOL) is giving Ethereum (ETH) a run for its money.

Well-Known Analyst Provides Insight

As market opinion changes, SOL is expected to surpass ETH. The well-known analyst and founder of MN Trading Consultancy, Michaël van de Poppe, has provided insight into this fierce cryptocurrency conflict.

He expressed his dismay on Twitter at the escalating SOL vs. ETH dispute. Following the introduction of spot ETFs, the expert went on to say that Ethereum's performance has been poor.

Ethereum ETFs Approved by U.S. SEC

On July 23, a number of spot Ethereum ETFs were approved by the U.S. SEC. Since then, though, they have struggled to acquire any real momentum. On July 29, a net outflow of about $98 million occurred in these Ethereum ETFs, per SoSoValue. Net outflows for these items have now occurred for four days in a row.

According to SoSoValue (via U.Today), Grayscale's mini-ETF ETH experienced an inflow of slightly less than $5 million, while Grayscale's ETHE saw a net outflow of $210 million in a single day. Although Fidelity's FETH received about $24 million, BlackRock's ETHA received $586 million.

Traders Pushed Toward SOL

It would appear that investors have begun to enter the Solana market in response to the lack of interest in Ethereum. According to Michaël van de Poppe, who has 721.9K followers on X, traders are being pushed toward SOL due to the failure of Ethereum ETFs.

In addition, he disclosed that most investors believe Solana will soon surpass Ethereum. It is too soon to tell if SOL will surpass ETH, although recent market performances are skewed toward this outlook.

According to Van de Poppe, things could alter shortly as well. He said that he is happy with his Ethereum investment and thinks the market sentiment can change again.
