In the latest episode of the Lightspeed Podcast, host Jack Kubinec interviewed Geoff Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, discussing the bank's recent release of its first Solana research report. This report not only represents the growing attention of Financial Institutions toward the Solana ecosystem but also reflects SOL's gradual establishment of a position in the traditional investment market. Kendrick shared his analysis of the future price trends of Ethereum ([[[[[[[[[[[[ETH](#)](#)](#)](#)](#)](#)](#)](#)](#)](#)](#)](#)) and Solana (SOL). He pointed out that although Solana has bullish long-term potential, in the medium to short term, Ethereum may perform better, especially as institutional funds have recently accelerated their inflow, stimulating ETH's price.
