SOL, the native token of the smart contract-enabled blockchain Solana, has increased in value by 7% in the last 24 hours, making it the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

This has inverted Cardano’s ADA, which seems unable to keep up with its fellow “Ethereum killer.” The price of ADA is up by 2% on the day, but it has lost 8% of its value in the last week. Solana currently has a market cap of more than $64 billion, while Cardano’s market cap is $63.5 billion.

The SOL/USD closed at $220.678, after placing a high of $222.222, and a low of $201.147. SOL/USD continued its bullish streak, pushing its prices higher amid improved market adoption of the network.The cryptocurrency appears to be gearing up for a bullish impulse, in the hopes that it might flip Cardano regarding market capitalization. Data suggests that SOL might only need $1 billion in total market value, in order to position itself ahead of ADA.

The total market cap of Cardano is $63.44 billion, whereas data from CoinGecko suggests that Solana’s market cap is hovering around $62.42 billion. As these altcoins are neck and neck in terms of market share rankings for the fifth spot, there is a chance that SOL could flip ADA. These expectations kept SOL higher in the market on Tuesday, and pushed its prices close to the $223 level.

If Cardano’s market share remains the same and Solana manages to gain more than $1 billion in market value, then such market behavior is possible. However, it might be too early to tell, as these coins have a high correlation coefficient.
