Ah, the eternal conundrum: Cardano or Solana? The two altcoins have been locked in a heated debate, with Solana’s founder recently taking a swipe at Cardano’s treasury proposal. But which project will reign supreme in 2026? π€
It all began when Cardano’s fearless leader, Charles Hoskinson, proposed allocating 5-10% of the project’s $1.2 billion treasury to Bitcoin and stablecoins. The goal? To generate yield and grow the treasury over time, eventually building a $1 billion+ fund to support Cardano’s ecosystem. A noble pursuit, indeed! πΈ
But Solana’s founder was not impressed, calling the idea “dumb.” Ah, the classic “my project is better than yours” argument. π Cardano’s plan is to create sustainable returns, grow its treasury, and support its DeFi ecosystem long term. But critics think it shows a lack of confidence in ADA. π€·ββοΈ
The Great Satoshi Showdown
So, how do these two altcoins stack up when measured in satoshis? π€ Cardano currently trades around 600 satoshis, with an upside potential of 117% to 1300 satoshis. Not bad, not bad at all! π On the downside, it could fall to around 400 satoshis, a 33% drop. π¬
Solana, on the other hand, is trading at around 14,500 satoshis. If it climbs to 20,000 satoshis, that would be a 38% gain. But if it dips to 10,000 sats, it risks a 31% loss. π€― Solana has already recovered more value against Bitcoin, so its short-term upside may be more limited. π
The Better Pick?
So, if you’re tracking gains in Bitcoin’s terms, Cardano may offer more explosive returns. π It has dropped more than Solana, which gives it more room to bounce back. π€ΈββοΈ
And then there’s the ETF factor. Solana currently has a 91% chance of getting a spot ETF approved in 2025, while Cardano sits at 67%. π Both altcoins look promising for 2026, but Cardano seems to offer better risk-to-reward potential. π€
Popular analyst Alex Becker agrees, predicting a 5x-8x return for ADA, possibly sending it to $6.10. π He also listed ADA among his top 8 coins with 15x potential by 2026, calling it highly undervalued. π€―
2026 Price Predictions: The Crystal Ball
Cardano is currently trading at $0.6002, down 0.5% today. π Moving ahead into the next year, Cardano could trade between $1.20 and $2.00 in 2026. A breakout above $1.60 may push it toward $2.50, if market sentiment turns bullish. π
Solana is currently trading at $145.43. It is expected to rise 12-15% by this week, trading between $150 and $179. A close above $165 could push SOL toward the $179-$183 resistance zone. But if it slips below $150, a dip to $148 is possible. π
CoinDCX projects Solana to trade between $400 and $450 in 2026 due to its strong growth potential driven by DeFi and NFT adoption. π
