Polkadot vs Solana: what the numbers say
At the latest snapshot, 1 DOT = 0.011142 SOL.
By market capitalisation, Solana is the larger network — about 30.8× the size of Polkadot in AUD terms. Larger caps generally mean deeper liquidity on Australian exchanges and tighter spreads, while smaller caps can move more sharply on news or thin order books.
Over the past seven days, DOT is down 2.61% while SOL is down 6.18% — Polkadot has out-performed by 3.56 percentage points. Short-term percentage moves show momentum but say nothing about long-term value.
Australian buyers can trade both Polkadot and Solana on AUSTRAC-registered exchanges such as CoinSpot, Independent Reserve, Swyftx and Kraken AU. Each disposal — including swapping DOT for SOL — is a CGT event under ATO guidance, so keep records of the AUD value at the time of every trade.
