So what’s behind these bullish Solana price predictions? Bank of America analyst Alkesh Shah explains it has to do with the crypto’s blockchain. They argue that it’s primed for consumer use with “scalability, low transaction fees and ease of use.”

According to Shah, this could have SOL acting as the Visa (NYSE:V) of crypto. They also point to advantages over Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD) that could see Solana take a significant market share from the second-largest crypto by market cap, reports Seeking Alpha.

It’s worth highlighting that massive growth for SOL isn’t unheard of. The crypto has seen major gains in the past with its value rising roughly 4,080% over the course of the last year.

However, these price predictions for Solana don’t mean ETH is out of the race. A similar bull case can be made for the crypto with changes to its protocol potentially allowing it to reach $20,000 per token by the end of the year.

For the record, Ethereum is trading for around $3,367 as of this writing. That means it would need to see a 494% jump in value to reach that $20,000 price prediction.

SOL is up 5.7% and ETH is up 3.5% over a 24-hour period as of Wednesday afternoon.
