According to Rob Hadick, a partner at Dragonfly, Solana and Ethereum will coexist and develop together in the race for asset tokenization, and no blockchain will completely "beat" the others.
Ethereum currently hosts many stablecoins and on-chain assets, making it suitable for finance and tokenization. Meanwhile, Solana excels in speed and transaction volume, making it ideal for applications requiring fast processing such as trading.
