The post If metrics favor Solana, why does institutional capital choose Ethereum? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. What compels an institutional heavyweight to launch a product on a particular blockchain? At a fundamental level, institutions tend to evaluate core infrastructure metrics such as transaction speed, execution costs, and settlement finality when choosing a Layer-1 network.
