Even after sharing a very optimistic forecast for the Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency, billionaire Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, revealed that he exchanged the token for Ethereum (ETH), estimating an impressive rise in the asset.
Em one post shared on December 21, the crypto expert highlighted a prediction that the price of Ethereum will reach the $5,000 level.
Given this estimate, Hayes justified his exchange of SOL for ETH. In the last 30 days, Solana has seen growth of 70.8%, while Ethereum has increased its price by 14.1% in the same period. The BitMEX co-founder shared an ETH chart justifying his growth estimate for the second-largest cryptocurrency.
“Family… I have a confession to make. I received a message from the Lord while meditating. He said to drop that coin POS of Sam and profess your love for Archangel Vitalik. So I dumped $SOL and put in more ETH. ETH = $5,000,” he wrote.

At the time of publication, the price of Ethereum was listed at US$2,312.35, up 3.2% in the last 24 hours. In the last seven days, the cryptocurrency has registered a growth of 1.2%. Solana, on the other hand, was trading at US$93.72, up 7.7% in the last day. The fifth largest asset saw its price rise by 18.2% in the last week.
Solana for US$ 100
The Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency was undoubtedly a positive surprise for the market given its performance and recovery throughout 2023. Amid its impressive growth, billionaire Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, shared a very optimistic forecast for the price of the now fifth largest asset on the market.
In a recent publication, Hayes said that the price of the Solana cryptocurrency will soon surpass three digits. According to his prediction, SOL will reach the $100 price zone.
It is worth remembering that the recent trajectory of Solana (SOL) has been remarkable. The cryptocurrency reached a new milestone on December 20th, with its native token, SOL, trading at $84. This 14% increase is not only significant in itself, but also marks the first time since May 2022 that the value exceeds the US$82 mark.
Even more impressive, this 35% growth in the last two weeks has enabled Solana to surpass XRP in terms of market capitalization, consolidating itself as the fifth largest cryptocurrency in the world, excluding stablecoins.
