The year 2025 has been quite successful so far, but for Solana (SOL) things may just be starting to heat up. A new price prediction has just been made and it must be said that it is quite bold: SOL could double in value by the end of this year. Indeed, from the current level of about $158, experts predict it will reach $331.
A 100% return in less than 6 months sounds quite far-fetched, especially in traditional financial markets where it is almost inconceivable.
The bullish scenario for SOL: Why are so many experts betting big?
So where does this optimism come from? An expert panel from Finder consisting of crypto strategists, chart experts, and market analysts is extremely optimistic about SOL. They not only think that the $331 level is feasible but also that it could happen.
Suppose you invest about $1,000 in SOL right now and this prediction comes true, you would have about $2,000 by December. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, but clearly, that level of increase is very attractive.
"The prodigal son" of the crypto world?
It's hard to believe that not long ago, SOL was trading around $12, completely collapsing after the FTX scandal as if it were on the verge of total collapse. Everyone was panicking, criticizing, calling Solana a "dead chain," and a slew of other criticisms.
Yet SOL reached $262 earlier this year. The price surge in January largely stemmed from the wave of excitement surrounding President Donald Trump's inauguration.
Afterward, the price experienced a slight correction but the overall upward momentum remained intact. Currently, many people are starting to pay attention again.
According to a quick survey from Finder, 56% believe that SOL is still undervalued, 28% think it is fairly valued, and only 16% think Solana is overvalued.
So clearly, there is still room for growth. And if you're looking for an entry point? Then maybe this is the time.
Why is this important?
Solana is not just a "fun price increase" token. It is actually one of the most widely used blockchains today. There are a multitude of projects being built on this platform because they enjoy fast transaction speeds and low gas fees. Accordingly, Solana is gradually being seen as "Ethereum's rival."
If the market continues to maintain an upward trend for the rest of 2025 and Bitcoin continues to surpass $123,000, then it is highly likely that SOL will take advantage of that wave. It could even lead the trend.
SOL is currently at $158.84. Therefore, to achieve the target of $331, SOL needs to increase by more than 100% if this momentum is maintained. With the entire crypto market heating up and Bitcoin rising strongly, Solana may be a name worth watching.
