Here's How The Ethereum Vs. Solana Rivalry Is Going

On-chain metrics show Ethereum pulling clearly ahead of Solana in economic activity, with data (April 24, 2026) showing Ethereum generating about $2.7M in 24‑hour fees versus Solana’s ~$70k — roughly a 40x gap sustained for more than a week. CryptoQuant data (April 27, 2026) also showed Ethereum active addresses near 600,000 even as ETH traded around $2,300 (well below prior peaks near $4,000), indicating rising usage and fee monetization independent of price. Solana’s much lower fee receipts suggest smaller or less‑monetized transactions. Market impact: stronger network fundamentals for Ethereum (higher revenue and engagement) could support relative valuation and investor interest versus Solana, while Solana’s lower monetization may weigh on its near‑term economic narrative.
