The forecasts on the price of Solana (SOL) for 2025

In recent weeks, various crypto influencers and financial funds have published their forecasts on the price of Solana (SOL) for 2025. The research platform CryptoRank has gathered estimates from the main players in the sector, providing an overview of the market’s most influential expectations. The quotations for the end of the year range from 520 to 1,500 dollars.

Let’s see all the details below

The predictions of crypto influencers and financial operators on the future price of Solana 

CryptoRank, a research and analysis platform in the crypto sector, has compiled in an infographic all the predictions from influencers and investment funds regarding the price that SOL will reach by 2025. The targets hypothesized represent rather ambitious bull estimates, with some analysts forecasting significant increases compared to current levels.

Let’s start by looking at the report from the asset management company VanEck, which forecasts a price of SOL at 520 dollars by the end of the year. Its estimates are based on the analysis of the growth of the M2 money supply in the United States and the correlation with the overall market capitalization of cryptocurrencies.

Next, we find the forecast of the influencer Gem Insider, who targets a SOL price of at least 600 dollars as the peak of the bull market. He also claims that in a similar bullish context, BTC will reach between 150,000 and 200,000 dollars, while ETH will be traded between 7,000 and 11,000 dollars.

The asset manager Bitwise raises the bar and positions SOL at 750 dollars in 2025, also maintaining a highly positive projection for 2023 that sees the coin surpassing 6,000 dollars. The London bank Standard Chartered shares the same opinion as Bitwise, but also predicts that Bitcoin will surpass 500,000 dollars by the end of the year, driven by the positive momentum of Donald Trump’s new presidential term.

The price forecasts of influencers Borovik, Ansem, and Dami-Defi conclude. The first two agree on a value of SOL that will hover around 1,000 dollars per unit in the coming months. The last one, more bullish compared to the others, even believes that Solana’s coin will reach 1,500 dollars, accompanied by Ethereum at 10,000 dollars, Jupiter at 5 dollars, and Sui at 15 dollars.

The approval of spot SOL ETFs could trigger a new bull rally for the crypto

One of the most important bull drivers for the price trend of SOL in 2025 will certainly be the ETF narrative on Wall Street. The approval of an exchange-traded fund on Solana could have a significant impact on the value of the crypto asset, leading to an increase in demand from institutional and retail investors.

If the SEC were to give the green light to a Solana ETF, the market could witness a strong influx of capital, similar to what happened with Bitcoin ETFs. In this regard, we remind that from January 2024 to today, these investment instruments have attracted total inflows of over 39 billion dollars, pushing the price of BTC up by more than 150%.

Recently, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has acknowledged several requests for exchange products based on Solana, submitted by companies like 21Shares, Bitwise, Canary Capital, and VanEck. These developments are promising for potential approvals from the US stock exchange watchdog. The prediction market Polymarket quotes an 84% chance of an official spot SOL ETF by the end of 2025. However, considering the deadline of July 31, the probabilities drop to 38%.

In any case, uncertainties remain related to the approval times and regolamentazione, factors that could influence investor sentiment, acting as a potential brake on the growth of SOL. According to James Seyffart, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, despite the optimistic forecasts, ETFs based on Solana will not debut on the United States market before 2026.

The historical performance of Solana in the crypto market

With the price of SOL falling below the key level of $200, analysts are wondering when the cryptocurrency might regain momentum and start printing positive performances again. By analyzing historical data on monthly returns of SOL, it is possible to identify the periods in which, statistically, a bull appears more likely.

According to the data reported by CryptoRank, the price of SOL tends to record positive performances especially in the last two quarters of the year. Although the first quarter generally proves to be favorable, the second quarter is historically characterized by greater difficulties, not only for SOL but for the entire financial asset market. 

More closely we can see how on average, the most bull month for Solana from 2020 to today has been August, with an average return of +69.9%. The most bearish month, on the other hand, is May, with a loss of -13.2% (hence the saying “sell in May and go away”). If we contextualize these data with the projections on the possible approval of an ETF on SOL, we can hypothesize that the real momentum for the cryptocurrency could manifest starting from July.
