Anthony Scaramucci Bets Solana Can Outperform Ethereum

• Anthony Scaramucci Predicts Solana Over Ethereum
• Solana could flip Ethereum in market cap
• Solana stands out against Ethereum in the cryptocurrency sector

Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, has reignited the debate over the Solana vs. Ethereum dispute. Speaking at the DigiAssets 2025 conference, the executive stated that he believes SOL has the potential to surpass ETH in terms of market relevance.

“I think SOL will outperform ETH,” Scaramucci told the audience, adding that his view is not based on a negative analysis of Ethereum. According to him, the preference for Solana is linked to a greater familiarity with the network’s history and purpose.

Since it began investing in cryptocurrencies in 2020, Scaramucci noted that SkyBridge has maintained a significant position in digital assets. According to the executive, the company's portfolio includes a nine-figure balance in Bitcoin and Solana, in addition to 40% of client capital directed to cryptos such as Solana, Avalanche, Polkadot and Bitcoin.

In terms of market performance, Solana has accumulated a 23,2% drop in the year, after reaching a peak of US$ 293,31 in January 2025. Ethereum, on the other hand, has fallen 24,75% in the same period. Solana's market capitalization currently hovers around US$ 76 billion, while Ethereum remains the second largest cryptocurrency, with US$ 304 billion.

Despite Scaramucci’s confidence, the forecast is not a consensus in the financial sector. Standard Chartered, for example, recently published an analysis projecting that Solana will underperform Ethereum over the next two to three years. According to the bank, ETH could reach $4.000 by the end of 2025, while SOL could end the year around $275.

In contrast, Cantor Fitzgerald presents a similar view to Scaramucci. Analysts at the institution highlighted the performance of publicly traded companies that are increasing their SOL reserves. According to the report, Solana's technology surpasses Ethereum's in several technical aspects, reinforcing optimism regarding the future of the network.
