Meme coins and Defi gave alot of growth to its ecosystem but it seems Solana has taken every trend to its chain but maybe we will have a trend that will make every coin like bnb has a taste of trend too so the coin can grow more because bnb is a good coin to hold.
Yes, for now, Solana is BNB's toughest competitor, even seen from its market cap and ranking on CMC, both are competing to be at the top. Unfortunately, after the Trump meme coin hype on Solana, and Solana's success in increasing its market cap and volume, Solana is now ranked 5th, taking over its previous position, and leaving BNB's market cap very fast.
However, I personally still choose BNB as one of my long-term investments, as well as SOL, yes, at least I have to be able to take high profits at the bull peak this season.
