- Solana price prediction points to a high of $600 by 2025.
- 75% see SOL outperforming crypto ETFs.
- Altcoins promise 'alt season'.
Amid growing optimism in the cryptocurrency market, Solana (SOL) is emerging as one of the protagonists for the next bullish cycle. According to a recent survey conducted by MV Global with investment managers, a considerable portion of venture capital funds and hedge funds project that SOL will reach or even surpass the US$ 600 mark.
The research, which interviewed 76 prominent liquid funds and risk allocators revealed that almost a third of respondents believe Solana could surpass $600, while another 23,2% see this as the asset’s all-time high. At the same time, the same percentage of managers predict that the digital currency will remain in the $150 to $300 range during this cycle, which is expected to intensify in the second half of 2025.
The enthusiasm is shared by analysts from different walks of life. One liquid funds analyst highlighted the robust performance of both SOL and Ethereum (ETH) against Bitcoin (BTC), pointing to Solana as holding “much more significant upside.” He mentions that investing in SOL is “a straightforward way to capture the upside of multiple verticals such as DePIN and Memecoins.”
On the other hand, an analyst from a venture capital fund highlighted the strong market expectation with the phrase: “SOL outperforming ETH is so consensual it’s scary.” Additionally, 75% of respondents believe that Solana will outperform cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) during this cycle.
The survey also brought to light the caution of many managers, especially regarding Bitcoin, with the majority indicating that BTC will peak between $100.000 and $150.000, more conservative numbers compared to projections from institutions such as VanEck and Standard Chartered.
According to the study, the stagnant performance of the last six months has been a crucial factor in tempering investor optimism, making the recent uptrend less evident in market forecasts.
Finally, the survey touched on the potential upside for other cryptocurrencies, with around 70% of respondents betting on an “alt season” for certain altcoins. This segment is dominated by tokens associated with artificial intelligence and decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN), with less interest in gaming tokens, considered by many to be the “worst performing” sector.
