Solana outperforms Ethereum in speed and fees, but institutions prefer Ethereum for trust and liquidity.

Solana leads blockchain performance with faster transactions, lower fees, and higher on-chain activity, processing 54% of total crypto transactions recently. Despite this, BlackRock chose Ethereum for launching tokenized money market funds due to Ethereum's deeper liquidity and stronger institutional trust. This highlights that while Solana offers technical advantages, institutions prioritize liquidity and ecosystem confidence when launching major financial products. The trend suggests Solana is undervalued by institutions who favor Ethereum's credibility over pure performance.
