VanEck just made an ambitious forecast: Solana's (SOL) price could reach 520 USD by the end of 2025. This prediction is based on the strong development of Solana, the flow of investment into crypto, and the growth of the smart contract market (SCP).
🔹 Where does the 520 USD forecast come from?
On 07/02/2025, #VanEck announced a prediction on platform X that:
📊 The market capitalization of Solana could reach 250 billion USD
💰 The total circulating supply of SOL is expected to be around 486 million tokens
📈 The estimated price of SOL is 520 USD
This prediction is based on an automatic regression model (AR), analyzing the impact of M2 money supply on the crypto market.
🔹 M2 money supply and its impact on Solana's price
M2 is a measure of the amount of money circulating in the US economy, including:
💵 Cash
🏦 Bank deposits
💳 Money market funds
VanEck predicts that M2 money supply will increase from 21.5 trillion USD to 22.3 trillion USD by the end of 2025. As M2 increases, more money is pumped into the economy, helping to drive investment into risk assets like crypto.
🔹 Results:
👉 The cash flow into crypto will increase
👉 The smart contract market (SCP) will grow by 43%, reaching 1.1 trillion USD
👉 $SOL will hold 22% of the SCP market share, compared to the current 15%
🔹 What does Solana have to break through?
VanEck believes that Solana will develop thanks to:
✅ The dominance of developers in the Solana ecosystem
✅ Increased market share in the decentralized trading (DEX) sector
✅ Strong revenue growth in blockchain
✅ The growing number of active users
All of these factors contribute to SOL reaching a market capitalization of 250 billion USD, pushing the price to 520 USD.
🔹 Will Solana achieve this number?
Although VanEck's prediction is very optimistic, it is still important to note:
⚠️ The crypto market is unpredictably volatile
⚠️ Regulatory policies may affect Solana
⚠️ VanEck has filed for a Solana ETF, so their perspective may be promotional
In addition to Solana, VanEck has also made several other "huge" predictions:
💰 Bitcoin reaches 2.9 million USD by 2050
💎 Ethereum reaches 22,000 USD by 2030
However, if #solana continues to maintain its current growth rate, the 520 USD mark is not impossible! 🚀
