Here’s How Much The Dogecoin Price Will Be With The Market Cap Of Solana
Dogecoin and Solana are two of the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap and are closely positioned within the top ranks of the market, with only BNB separating them. Both cryptocurrencies have seen their respective market caps increase massively in the past 30 days.
At the time of writing, Solana has a market cap of $104 billion and is trading at around $220. Dogecoin, on the other hand, is trading at $0.41 with a market cap of $59.5 billion, meaning it has some catching up to do in order to overtake Solana in market cap rankings.
How Much Will Dogecoin Be If It Reaches Solana’s Market Cap?
Solana has witnessed an impressive 43% increase in its market cap over the past 30 days in light of growing interest and positive market momentum. However, this gain is overshadowed by DOGE’s remarkable rally within the same period. Dogecoin’s price has more than doubled in the last four weeks, surging by 250% as excitement around the meme coin is at its highest point in a long time.
As it stands, DOGE’s market cap is about 0.57 of Solana’s market cap. However, recent market dynamics suggest that Dogecoin is on a trajectory to continue closing this gap. After punching in the numbers, Dogecoin’s price target to reach the current Solana market cap is around $0.7053. This implies that for DOGE to secure its place as the fourth-largest crypto by market cap, the meme coin would need an additional 76% price increase from its current levels in the case Solana starts to consolidate at this point. Interestingly, this would see the DOGE market cap overtaking that of BNB in the process.
The prospect of Dogecoin reaching the $0.70 level is now more feasible than ever, particularly since this target is just slightly below DOGE’s all-time high of $0.7316, which the bulls are now targeting.
How Feasible Is The Race For DOGE?
Regardless of whether the Solana market cap consolidates or continues to increase from here, the current market pace suggests Dogecoin is still going to overtake Solana in market cap. This would not only be a notable milestone for DOGE, but it would create a new price all-time high, and also a new milestone for the meme coin community.
Speaking of all-time highs, DOGE is only about 79% from creating a new all-time high. According to popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Dogecoin is now on its way to reach at least $2.40.
Supporting this outlook is data from on-chain analytics platform Santiment. According to Santiment, meme coins are experiencing the highest levels of activity and interest from market participants across the crypto landscape. Furthermore, the Dogecoin price rally has been driven by retail investors now leaning into the meme coin as Bitcoin starts to get too pricey.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says the network will play a key role in Bitcoin DeFi transactions in the future. With several partnerships and innovations in the works, Hoskinson says Cardano is bracing itself to explore layer 2 solutions on the Bitcoin blockchain,
Cardano Positions Itself For Bitcoin DeFi
In an interview with Scott Melker, Cardano’s founder has revealed ambitious plans for the network to turbocharge Bitcoin’s adoption for DeFi applications. Hoskinson notes that large financial institutions will trigger a demand for Bitcoin DeFi given their fiduciary obligation to create yield.
He notes that a Bitcoin ETF providing DeFi yields will trigger shareholders to demand similar yields. Hoskinson eyes a three-year timeframe for institutions to plant their feet in Bitcoin DeFi and UTXO DeFi.
Hoskinson says Cardano will combine Hydra with the Bitcoin Lightning network and build a trustless recursive bridge between both networks. The founder adds that its Aiken programming language will enabled to write both Bitcoin and Cardano scripts.
Furthermore, a partnership with Maestro, an infrastructure provider allowing Bitcoin integration with UTXO-based blockchain will provide a “turn-key experience” for users.
“It’s still early days but we are making methodical progress every step of the way,” said Hoskinson.
Hoskinson is moving on from his absence from the Crypto Summit at the White House, doubling down on technical innovation. He notes that the Bitcoin-focused plays by Cardano will not adversely affect the network’s road map.
Is Bitcoin Ready For DeFi Applications?
Hoskinson revealed in the interview that Bitcoin is ready for DeFi utility following the Taproot and the Lightning Network advancements. According to the founder, Taproot added programmability features to the Bitcoin network and Cardano will push the frontiers.
He adds that Cardano will enable Bitcoin users to engage in DeFi transactions while transacting with only BTC. Hoskinson says a merger between Bitcoin is enough to make Cardano’s DeFi significantly larger than Ethereum and Solana combined.
While the integration will send Cardano price soaring, ADA wallows at $0,6611 after losing 10% in a week. However, traders are targeting an ADA pump in May following the forming of a cyclical pattern.
An analyst argues that a price rally to $10 is not a crazy prediction given a streak of solid fundamentals and partnerships for Cardano.

The world’s second-largest digital asset, Ethereum (ETH), struggles to keep up with Bitcoin. Market data shows that the ETH/BTC ratio has dropped to its lowest level in five years. Consequently, investors and analysts are now questioning whether Ethereum can recover in the coming quarter, considering Bitcoin may continue its long-standing domination in the digital assets market.
The Ethereum Bitcoin Ratio At New Lows
ETH performed poorly compared to Bitcoin in the first quarter of 2025. According to a recent update from The Kobeissi Letter, the Ethereum to Bitcoin ratio has dropped to 0.02, its lowest level since December 2020.
Historically, Ethereum has gained strength after Bitcoin halvings, but the trend has reversed. While Bitcoin price is going upward, Ethereum has struggled to gain traction.
Several factors have contributed to this decline. Bitcoin’s narrative as digital gold has strengthened, drawing more institutional investment. In addition, the coin has faced challenges, including relatively higher gas fees and competition from other blockchain networks.
Unfortunately, the Ethereum Pectra upgrade, which experts believe could drive a price increase for the coin, faced some challenges. As reported by CoinGape, multiple testnet attempts failed before the Hoodi testnet that launched recently.
Some experts believe Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake has not delivered the expected market boost.
Q1 Performance and ETF Downturn
The ETH price performance in the first quarter of 2025 has been disappointing. For context, data shows that the coin has dropped 46% this year, nearly 4 times more than Bitcoin’s decline of 12%.
Many investors expected a strong bull run, but Ethereum has remained weak. The adoption of spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier in the year attracted billions of dollars, but Ethereum has not seen the same level of interest for its potential ETF.
Market analysts suggest that institutional investors are still hesitant about Ethereum’s long-term value compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s fixed supply and reputation as a hedge against inflation have made it a safer choice for institutional investors.
Where is ETH Price Heading?
Some analysts believe ETH price could hit $10,000 if broader market conditions improve and the Ethereum Pectra upgrade launches on the mainnet.
Others warn that if the coin continues to lose value against Bitcoin, investors may start shifting funds to other networks like Solana or Avalanche.
Even though short-term price predictions remain speculative, some traders expect Ethereum to rebound as Bitcoin stabilizes. Others believe the ETH/BTC ratio could drop even further.
As of this publication, CoinMarketCap data shows that Ethereum’s price was $1,842.29, up 1.34% in the last 24 hours. Many experts believe that the coming days will determine whether Ethereum can regain strength or whether Bitcoin’s dominance will continue to grow.

Elon Musk has doused optimism for the US government to adopt Dogecoin at the America PAC town hall event. The head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) noted that the government agency only bears a nominal resemblance to the memecoin.
Elon Musk Dispels Rumors Of Dogecoin Adoption By The US Government
At a recent event, Tesla CEO Elon Musk cleared the air on the potential adoption of Dogecoin by the US government. In his keynote speech, Musk noted that the US government will not be adopting Dogecoin, contrary to swirling speculation.
Musk noted that the speculation gained traction following the launch of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Following the launch of DOGE and Musk tapped to lead the agency, enthusiasm for Dogecoin government utility reached new highs.
However, Musk clarified that the agency bears only a nominal resemblance to the memecoin, stemming from an internet trend. The Tesla CEO disclosed that the original intended name was the Government Efficiency Commission, opting for DOGE “because the internet is right.”
“The name is similar but they are two different things,” said Musk. “But there are no plans for the government to use Dogecoin as far as I know.”
Musk has a long and storied history with Dogecoin, famously shilling the memecoin and integrating DOGE payments for Tesla. Musk teased an anime-themed DOGE on X, setting the stage for a $2 rally for the memecoin.
DOGE Reacts Negatively To The News
Dogecoin price slumped by nearly 2% in the wake of the grim report. Currently, the memecoin is trading at 0.1660 as it eyes a push toward the $1 mark.
The negative fundamental adds pressure to reports of DOGE forming a falling wedge pattern, signaling a potential downward breakout. However, optimists are rippling with confidence that DOGE can shake off the negative sentiments to post new all-time highs.
One analysis claims that if the Dogecoin price breaks a 3-month trendline, an $8 valuation for the memecoin is in play. Others claim that the House of Doge Reserve launch will be a tailwind for Dogecoin price, sending the dog-themed coin on a strong rally.
