Solana Price Prediction: Solana Just Crushed Ethereum in Revenue - Can SOL Overtake ETH?

Ethereum has long been the network every rival is measured against. In August, Solana did not just beat it on app revenue. It nearly tripled it.

DeFiLlama data shows Solana apps generated about $143 million in August, versus roughly $47 million on Ethereum, capturing around 38% of all onchain app revenue. That is the money apps actually keep from user activity, not just raw transaction volume.

U.S. Solana ETFs also logged 11 straight inflow sessions through September 1, with cumulative inflows still around $1.35 billion.

That still does not mean SOL is about to replace ETH. Ethereum remains far larger by market value. But with revenue, institutional demand and price all moving in Solana's favor, the gap is worth watching.

The chart now shows what SOL would need to do next.

Solana Price Prediction: Has the Falling-Wedge Breakout and Bullish MA Cross Put $150 Back in Play?

SOL has continued higher after the falling-wedge breakout we highlighted in our previous Solana price prediction, moving from around $97 to above $100 while keeping the breakout intact.

There is another bullish signal on the chart: SOL has just formed a moving-average crossover - also called a Golden Cross.

The faster moving average, now around $82.70, has crossed above the slower one near $82.18, while price is trading well above both.

This kind of bullish MA cross can signal that short-term momentum is beginning to strengthen relative to the longer-term trend, adding confirmation to the falling-wedge breakout.

The first major resistance sits around $115. A clean break above it could reopen the path toward $150, followed by roughly $178 and $200.

If the recovery continues, $225 comes next before the larger $250 target zone. RSI sits around 66, showing strong momentum without yet reaching overbought territory. The main long-term support remains near $60 if the breakout fails.

So, can SOL overtake ETH? On app revenue, it already did in August. By market value, not yet.

Solana is worth roughly $59 billion versus about $292 billion for Ethereum. At today's circulating supply, SOL would need to trade near $500 just to match Ethereum's current market value, assuming ETH did not rise.
