Here’s how a $1,000 investment in Cardano (ADA) vs. Solana (SOL) at their 2020 starting prices would look as of May 2, 2025:
Summary
If you’d placed $1,000 into ADA at $0.033585 on January 1, 2020, you’d have bought 29,782 ADA, now worth about $20,983 at $0.7048 per ADA. By contrast, $1,000 invested in SOL at its ICO price of $0.22 on March 24, 2020 would have bought 4,545 SOL, now worth roughly $686,484 at $150.88 per SOL. That’s a 21× return on ADA versus a 686× return on SOL—SOL dramatically outpaced ADA over this period.
Return Multiples
ADA: $20,983 / $1,000 ≈ 21×
SOL: $686,484 / $1,000 ≈ 686×
Key Takeaways Solana Win: SOL’s 686× gain vastly outstrips ADA’s 21×, thanks to SOL’s explosive utility growth and early ICO access. Risk vs. Reward: SOL’s higher volatility and ICO timing presented greater risk but rewarded early investors enormously. Diversification Lesson: Even a split allocation could have turned $1K into $353K (50% SOL + 50% ADA) rather than $21K from ADA alone. $ADA $SOL $AVAX #DigitalAssetBill #AltcoinETFsPostponed #whatif #BTCRebound #BTC
🚨 TRADE SIGNAL: $SOL (Solana) Bias: Aggressive Short 🔴 $BTC 🚪 Entry: 114.50 - 116.00 (Bearish Retest) 🎯 TPs: 105.00 - 98.50 - 92.00 🛑 SL: 121.50 💡 Logic: Support Collapse. The $125 support was the dam holding back the flood. Now that it’s breached, SOL is looking for the next psychological floor at $100. Any pump to $115 is a gift to short. 📉$ETH 👇 Click the SOL button below to short! #solana #sol #WhoIsNextFedChair #MarketCorrection #PreciousMetalsTurbulence

ETH has decisively broken the $2,900 "line in the sand." We are now in price discovery to the downside. The $2,900 level has flipped to heavy resistance. We are selling any intraday bounces, targeting the next liquidity pools in the $2,400 region. 📉$SOL 👇 Click the ETH button below to short! #Ethereum #ETH #cryptotrading #short #Binance

BTC is heavy and sitting on the final "line in the sand" at $83k. The bounce attempts are getting weaker (bearish consolidation). We are shorting the confirmed breakdown of this level. Once 82.4k gives way, there is zero structural support until the $78k liquidity pools. 📉 👇 Click the BTC button below to short the flush! #bitcoin #BTC #cryptotrading #short #Binance
