Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has shared his thoughts on how Ethereum and Solana may perform as the crypto market moves toward 2026. His comments show the different strengths and challenges facing both blockchains. Advertisement --> Hoskinson said that Solana has better growth potential in the short term. He explained that Solana can move faster when it comes to adopting new technology and making upgrades. This is partly because its leadership structure allows quicker decision-making. Solana has focused heavily on speed and scalability, which has helped it handle a large number of transactions. Today, it leads many blockchains in daily transaction volume, showing strong network activity and user demand. Where Solana Still Lags Behind Ethereum Despite its speed, Solana still trails Ethereum in important areas. Hoskinson pointed out that Solana’s total value locked (TVL) and stablecoin usage are far smaller than Ethereum’s. In fact, Solana is estimated to have only about one-tenth of Ethereum’s size in these categories. This means that while Solana is growing quickly, it still has significant ground to cover before it can match Ethereum’s broader financial ecosystem. Ethereum’s Long-Term Vision and Research Focus Hoskinson described Ethereum as a platform that has become a victim of its own success. Because it supports a massive ecosystem, making changes takes more time. However, Ethereum continues to invest heavily in research, especially in areas like zero-knowledge proofs and advanced scaling solutions. He said Ethereum is working toward a future where blockchains rely more on cryptographic proofs instead of simple transaction checks. This would allow Ethereum to act as a global verification layer for many networks, including Layer 2 solutions. A Slower Path, But a Stronger Long-Term Direction While Ethereum may need to adjust its strategy again, Hoskinson believes its overall direction is correct. He compared this to past upgrades that took longer than expected but eventually strengthened the network. In the long run, he sees Ethereum’s proof-based model as a better solution for building systems that can scale to internet-level demand. Final Take: Speed vs Strategy Hoskinson summed it up by saying Solana may have the advantage in the short term due to speed and flexibility. Ethereum, on the other hand, could win over the long term because of its research-driven approach and long-range vision. Both networks remain major players, each taking a different path as the blockchain industry continues to grow. Tags Bitcoin Crypto news Ethereum

Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. For most of the last decade, crypto’s regulatory environment developed around one central question: what will the rules be? That question has now been answered. From Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation in Europe to stablecoin frameworks evolving across the U.S. and Asia, the industry finally has transparent rules written into law. Summary Regulatory clarity is here, but execution is the real test: By 2026, crypto firms will be judged not on rule interpretation but on their ability to run compliant, uninterrupted infrastructure across custody, payments, and reporting. Compliance gaps now directly hit cash flows: Delays from licensing, the Travel Rule, and uneven supervision turn regulatory uncertainty into liquidity constraints, settlement failures, and balance-sheet risk. Compliance-by-design will determine winners: Firms that embed auditability, monitoring, and control into core systems unlock institutional access and capital; those treating compliance as an add-on face friction, consolidation, or exit. Yet clarity doesn’t equal readiness. Rules can be put into practice, but that doesn’t automatically mean the industry is mature enough to function fully within them. So, as 2026 gets closer, the pressure shifts from interpretation to execution. Crypto companies will have to prove they can comply with these rules every day across custody, payments, liquidity access, and reporting, while still scaling products and meeting client needs. In this sense, 2026 is set to be a make-or-break year for compliance. Let’s take a closer look. When implementation turns into friction When regulation moves into live implementation and starts to affect daily operations, crypto companies are no longer assessed by intentions or roadmaps. Instead, the focus switches to something far less forgiving: whether they can actually run a compliant infrastructure without interruptions. That’s where implementation starts to bite. Licensing regimes like MiCA can’t simply be switched on overnight. Transitional periods differ across jurisdictions, supervisory capacity is highly uneven, and approval processes can stretch for months. Even firms that are actively working toward compliance often find themselves caught in prolonged grey zones. In that environment, uncertainty is operational. Banks, payment providers, and other counterparties rarely wait for formal clarity. They reassess exposure, delay integrations, or tighten conditions while authorizations are still unclear. As a result, what begins as a temporary regulatory gap turns into real friction through slower settlement and constrained liquidity. Exactly the same logic now applies to transaction flows. The Travel Rule, once discussed as a distant initiative, now sits directly inside payment pipelines. Missing data fields, incompatible messaging formats, or inconsistent counterparty identifiers no longer trigger follow-up emails. They trigger delayed transfers or even outright rejections. That difference is tangible. At first glance, the impact is subtle, yet it’s powerful. Compliance gaps that once looked like legal risks now start showing up as PL and balance-sheet risks. Naturally, growth slows, even for firms that are technically allowed to work. Once compliance begins to have a direct impact on cash flows, treating it as an external function stops working. Infrastructure either absorbs regulatory requirements or becomes a bottleneck. That’s where RegTech and compliance-by-design architecture become part of core systems. Compliance-by-design as the only scalable architecture Compliance-by-design means building crypto infrastructure so that regulatory requirements are met by default. That way, compliance is embedded directly into systems, workflows, and transaction logic, so operating within regulatory boundaries becomes the product’s normal state. This approach changes the unit economics of crypto businesses. When auditability, asset segregation, transaction monitoring, and incident response are inside the core architecture, firms spend less time putting out fires and more time scaling. More importantly, they become legible to banks, payment providers, and institutional partners. That legibility is what unlocks access. The shift is already delivering visible results. On December 11, 2025, J.P. Morgan arranged a $50 million U.S. commercial paper issuance by Galaxy Digital, executed on Solana, with Coinbase and Franklin Templeton among the buyers, and USDC used for issuance and redemption. That wasn’t “blockchain for the sake of blockchain.” Rather, it was a familiar money-market instrument moved on-chain in a way that made it legible to regulated participants. This means tokenization scales only through verified counterparties, controlled settlement logic, and auditable flows embedded from day one. Still, even if the win is real, it isn’t free. There are also second-order effects that I have to recognize. Fragmented rulebooks across regions raise fixed costs and reward larger platforms, pushing smaller firms toward consolidation or exit. In turn, cybersecurity and operational resilience become binding constraints, as one serious incident can trigger rapid de-risking by banks and payment partners. The point is that compliance-by-design doesn’t remove risk. Yet it changes where risk sits and how it’s priced. In 2026, capital will flow toward infrastructure that is auditable, resilient, and predictable under supervision. What 2026 will reward From where I stand, the industry is entering a phase where compliance isn’t something you “handle” anymore. It’s something you build. The firms that treat it as architecture will keep access to banking, payments, liquidity, and institutional counterparties, even as standards tighten. The ones that treat it as an external layer will keep paying for it through friction that shows up in the worst places: settlement delays, constrained liquidity, and partners that quietly step back. Yes, compliance-by-design comes with limitations. The alternative is worse. In 2026, companies will feel that difference. So choose which operating model you want to defend.

Solana (SOL), the seventh-ranked cryptocurrency asset by market capitalization, has recorded a massive liquidation imbalance in the last 12 hours. Solana’s inability to shake off bears and further price slips cost bullish traders great loss om the market. Solana’s oversold signals fail to prevent sharp drop As perCoinGlass data, long position traders saw $4.94 million wiped out within the period, leading to an 8,392% liquidation imbalance. Notably, Solana had shown signs of breaching itsdeath cross range between $124.11 and $125.42, as it changed hands at $125.28. This likely sparked hopes of a further increase among bulls who bet on the coin’s uptick. Additionally, with Solana’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) oscillating between 37 and 39, SOL is signaling mildly oversold conditions. Unfortunately, the coin lacked momentum to push for higher price levels despite its volume spike at the time. However, market volatility plunged SOL further down to a low of $120.78, triggering severe liquidation across the chain. Market analysis indicates that Solana responded to broader market risk aversion as the exchange-traded fund (ETF) outflow of both Bitcoin and Ethereum impacted it. This affected other altcoins such as Cardano and XRP, as they generally underperformed within the last 24 hours. As of press time, Solanachanged hands at $121.43, which represents a 0.8% decline within this time frame. The trading volume, which suggested a possible recovery, has also suffered a decline of 14.93% to $2.74 billion. It is worth mentioning that short-position traders did not escape losses. They recorded a mild liquidation of $58,170 as prices initially breached the $125 mark. Although Solana’s oversold conditions could see the coin rebound at any time, volatility might continue to derail its price. A more sustainable uptick rests on Bitcoin’s stability in the broader crypto market space. Network milestones offer long-term hope amid volatility Despite the turbulence that SOL is facing with the price, a Solana researcher, "nxxn" on X, has decided to focus on thepositive accomplishments of the blockchain. He highlighted some of those to include the approval and launch of several Solana ETs. Other notable wins were the launch of Solana Seeker, FireDancer going live on mainnet and Coinbase exchange integrating SOL-based tokens. This has made millions of assets across Solana accessible to users on the Coinbase platform. Meanwhile, there are positive conversations between Cardano and Solana founders to establish across-chain bridge across the two networks. The move is significant given the history of rivalry that previously existed between them.

Bitcoin spot ETFs saw $175M in net outflows on Dec. 24 BlackRock’s IBIT ETF led with a $91M outflow Solana and XRP spot ETFs posted net inflows On December 24 (ET), U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a sharp net outflow of $175 million, according to data from SoSoValue. The most significant outflow came from BlackRock’s IBIT ETF, which alone accounted for $91.37 million — making it the largest single-day drop among Bitcoin spot ETFs. This outflow marks a noticeable shift in sentiment among institutional investors, especially after several weeks of stable or positive flows. While December typically sees lower trading volumes due to the holiday season, this large-scale exit signals potential investor caution around Bitcoin’s short-term price direction or profit-taking behavior after the recent market rally. Ethereum Slips While XRP and Solana Gain Ethereum didn’t fare much better in the ETF space. Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded net outflows of $52.70 million on the same day, further reinforcing the cautious tone across major digital assets. ETH has struggled to maintain bullish momentum, and these withdrawals could reflect hesitancy ahead of regulatory decisions or market volatility. In contrast, alternative cryptocurrencies showed signs of resilience. Solana spot ETFs recorded $1.48 million in net inflows, while XRP spot ETFs outperformed with $11.93 million in fresh investments. These inflows suggest that investors are still willing to explore growth potential in altcoins, possibly viewing them as undervalued or poised for rebounds in 2025. According to SoSoValue, on Dec. 24 (ET), U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded total net outflows of $175 million. The BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT saw the largest single-day net outflow among Bitcoin spot ETFs at $91.37 million.

Instead, there seems to be a sectoral rotation or a shift toward alternative assets with different risk-reward profiles. With the end of the year approaching and the Bitcoin halving expected in 2024, the ETF flows will continue to be a key indicator of market sentiment and institutional positioning. For now, however, the data suggests a cautious stance among large-scale investors, particularly in the Bitcoin ETF space.
