In a recently released research report, Geoffrey Kendrick, an analyst at Standard Chartered Bank, gave a rather optimistic prediction of the future price trend of Solana (SOL). He believes that in the current complex and volatile landscape of the cryptocurrency market, Solana has strong growth potential. In the short term, it may lag slightly behind Ethereum in market competition, but once new application scenarios other than Memecoins gain widespread market attention, its development trend will not be underestimated.
According to Kendrick’s prediction, the price of Solana is expected to show a significant upward trend in the coming years. He predicts that by the end of 2025, the price of SOL will climb to $275, and by 2029, it is even expected to reach $500. This prediction is not made out of thin air but is based on an in-depth analysis of Solana’s existing ecological advantages and future development potential.
At present, Solana has an extremely wide range of applications, especially in the trading field, where it performs outstandingly and has already become the leading public chain for Memecoin trading. This is mainly attributed to its outstanding performance – the ability to handle a vast number of transactions simultaneously and maintain low user fees throughout the transaction process. This efficient and low-cost transaction processing capability has attracted a large number of users and developers who are sensitive to transaction efficiency and cost, laying a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Solana ecosystem.
To achieve Kendrick’s valuation expectations for Solana, the Solana network still needs to make significant breakthroughs in terms of technology and application expansion. On the one hand, the new third-party validator client software Firedancer, which aims to significantly enhance the efficiency of Solana, is of crucial importance. Once this software is put into operation, it is expected to increase the transaction volume per second of the Solana network to one million times, which will greatly enhance its processing capacity in high-concurrency transaction scenarios and further consolidate its leading position in the transaction field. On the other hand, Solana needs to establish a dominant position in multiple key areas, such as finance, consumer services, and decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN), etc. These fields have extremely high requirements for network throughput. With its own technological advantages, if Solana can make in-depth layouts and achieve success in these fields, it will attract more users and projects of different types to join its ecosystem, thereby comprehensively promoting the value enhancement of SOL.
In addition, Solana’s layout in the mobile field has also added much room for imagination to its future development. At this year’s flagship conference Breakpoint, Solana showcased its continuous investment and achievements in mobile development. For instance, the launch of hardware products such as the Seeker phone, as well as the continuously expanding mobile application ecosystem, have positioned Solana as a leader in the mobile future of cryptocurrencies.
Globally, the use of mobile Internet dominates, especially in regions such as India and Nigeria where the adoption rate of cryptocurrencies continues to surge. Solana’s mobile-first strategy enables it to stay ahead of other blockchains that lack the same strategic focus and progress. As the usage rate of mobile wallets continues to set new historical highs, Solana is expected to take advantage of this trend to further expand its user base, increase its share and influence in the global cryptocurrency market, and provide strong support for its price increase.
