Solana (SOL) is one of the crypto assets with the wildest price predictions in the crypto community.
This time, the popular crypto user Borovik.sol on X declared SOL to be “very undervalued at $143,” suggesting a moonshot target of $1,000 during Trump’s presidency.
The tweet references a recent $20 million SOL purchase by an unnamed whale, comparing the buyer to Michael Saylor and framing the accumulation as a potential turning point for Solana’s valuation trajectory.
Solana is trading at $145.89 with a market cap of $75.5 billion, up 36.5% in the last 30 days. While still down 6.2% on the year, the macro trend remains positive.
The long-term chart reveals that SOL has previously peaked near $260, making a $1,000 price tag nearly 4x higher than its all-time high.
To reach $1,000 per SOL with the current supply, Solana’s market cap would need to exceed $500 billion, placing it on par with or above Ethereum’s historical highs.
Is it realistic? With major catalysts lined up, it might not be as far-fetched as it sounds.
Institutional Capital Is Flowing In
One of the biggest drivers of the current SOL rally is institutional interest. SOL Strategies, a Canadian investment firm, recently acquired $18 million of SOL in a single purchase and secured a $500 million convertible note facility to continue stacking.
This capital is deployed directly into staking infrastructure, creating recurring yield and a more profound on-chain commitment.
Simultaneously, Canada’s green light on spot Solana ETFs draws traditional investors into the ecosystem. Multiple funds, including those from Purpose and 3iQ, are already trading with integrated staking yields.
Polymarket now places the odds of a U.S. Solana ETF approval by the end of 2025 at 83%.
Solana’s Ecosystem Is Exploding
The on-chain narrative is just as strong. Protocols like Kamino and Solend lead Solana’s DeFi resurgence. Kamino has surpassed $2.2 billion in TVL, while Solend, fresh off a rebrand to SAVE, has surged over 47% in the last two weeks.
Daily DEX volume on Solana continues to outpace Ethereum, showing real user demand.
Meanwhile, the Solana memecoin sector is thriving. BONK, TRUMP, WIF, and even FARTCOIN have added billions in market cap.
Combined with the rising popularity of Solana-native NFTs and on-chain gaming, the chain is commanding cultural relevance again—an ingredient often underestimated in market cycles.
The $1,000 Question
While a $1,000 SOL might sound outrageous to some, the path to such valuations would require a mix of sustained adoption, a significant altcoin rotation, and macro tailwinds.
With ETH facing scalability bottlenecks and Layer 2 fragmentation, SOL’s high-speed, low-cost infrastructure offers a viable alternative for capital and users.
If SOL repeats a 5- 7x move from its current base, similar to cycles in 2021, it would place the token in the $700-$1,000 range.
It won’t happen overnight—but as ETF flows ramp up and whales accumulate, Solana could lay the groundwork for something much larger.
