SOL Could Reach $500: Analysts Forecast
SOL, the native token of the Solana blockchain, faces a major test after losing much of its October recovery. Analysts predict that major upgrades, institutional interest, and expanding decentralized finance (DeFi) activity could support future growth. Some analysts see much higher valuations by 2029, potentially pushing SOL toward $500 during the next bull run. The Solana Foundation highlighted two October upgrades, including Alpenglow, which aims to improve transaction finality to 150 milliseconds. Established companies like J.P. Morgan Asset Management and Samsung Wallet have joined the Solana ecosystem, indicating growing interest in its payment infrastructure. The Solana ecosystem also shows significant activity with $5.2 billion in total value locked in DeFi and $14.6 billion in stablecoin supply. Analysts like Standard Chartered forecast $1,200 by 2029, while PrimeXBT offers a more conservative forecast of $262 to $411 by 2029.
