Solana is a cutting-edge, Layer 1, open-source blockchain network renowned for its speed, high throughput (up to 65k transactions per second) and low transaction costs. Solana utilises a hybrid consensus mechanism of Proof-of-History and Proof-of-Stake. Unlike older blockchains, Solana was engineered to solve the scalability issues that plague decentralized applications (dApps). Its native digital asset is SOL.

Our latest SOL price prediction allows users to contribute their assumptions and forecast specific years like 2026, 2028, and 2030. The value of 1 SOL over this short-term horizon will be heavily influenced by the Solana ecosystem growth, network stability, and the broader sentiment of the cryptocurrency market.

Our long-term SOL forecasts extend to specific years like 2030. Over the mid-term, this 5-year price trajectory for 1 SOL will largely be determined by several key factors: Solana ETF traction and the launch of Firedance, which aims to boost its Transaction Per Second (TPS) to 1 million. Another important factor is the institutional adoption rate, such as the tokenisation of real-world assets. Financial players like Franklin Templeton and Société Générale have already begun utilizing Solana for their tokenized money market funds and bonds.

Our long-term SOL forecasts are extended to specific years like 2035. The price of 1 SOL over this long-term investment horizon is dependent on its ability to scale with the addition of upgrades such as Firedancer. At the same time, it is largely dependent on global regulatory frameworks. The legal classification of Solana as a security or commodity would be critical in determining long term institutional adoption.

As a speculative asset, SOL carries both potential upside but considerable risks as well. There are a few potential catalysts in 2025 such as the Solana ETF, institutional adoption, as well as the launch of Firedancer. Please always do your own research.

The price of SOL is influenced by multiple factors:

1. Ecosystem Activity (TVL & dApps): The Total Value Locked (TVL) in Solana DeFi and the number of active users/programs on the network.
2. Network Performance: Successful implementation of upgrades such as Firedancer, maintenance of high uptime, and efficient transaction processing.
3. Institutional Inflows: The approval and performance of financial products like Solana Spot ETFs in various jurisdictions.
4. Competition: Solana’s relative performance against other Layer-1 blockchains, particularly in terms of speed and decentralization.
5. Broader market: as cryptocurrency is still in the early stages, the volatility and adoption could stir the price of Solana.
