Hello My friends, how are you all, I hope you are well. We often see how much the crypto market changes colors, those of us who regularly watch the crypto markets know very well. Sometimes it seems like everything is inexperienced, and then abruptly the entirety is crimson! So nowadays I thought, allow me write a touch about what Ethereum and Solana really did in the first six months of 2025, in my very own way, for you.
The beginning of this year was quite exciting, especially for Solana fans. In January, Solana ran so fast that the price increased by about 25-26%. There was only talk about SOL around. Meme coins, small traders, social media—Solana is everywhere! And Ethereum? It was a little quiet then, the price did not increase much, but rather decreased slightly.
But February came and everything turned upside down. There was such a storm in the market that Solana fell by about 40%, and Ethereum also fell by about 30%. Some said, “Many people took profits”, some said, “The US economy is not doing well”, and some said, “Solana was running too fast, it needed to rest a bit!”
Although the price drop in March eased a bit, the pressure was still there. Solana and Ethereum—both have downward arrows on the charts. From April, Solana slowly regained some life, and the price rose by about 17%. Solana’s name started to be heard again in the DeFi and NFT world. Ethereum was still on a bit of a tiffin break… Gas fees were low, the network was quite quiet.
But in May, Ethereum made a royal comeback. The price increased by more than 40% in one jump. Solana also rose, but not by that much. And June? There was no drama in that month—neither too much up nor too little down. The market was quite calm.
Now, if we talk about trading volume, Solana is quite ahead here. Small investors, new projects, meme coins—all combined, the Solana blockchain is very busy. Millions of wallets are active every day. People are flocking to projects like Jupiter, Raydium, Kamino. Ethereum is definitely still a big player—more secure, more trusted by big investors. But the gas fee issue still remains.
Look, Solana may have shown more speed than Ethereum in the last few months, but Ethereum is still stable and reliable. So if someone is looking for quick profits – Solana might be the choice. And if someone wants a safe ride in the long run – Ethereum might be the way to go.
What do you think? Are you on the SOL team or the ETH team? Don’t forget to let us know below, I’m very interested in hearing your opinion.
