Forecast Trend Report by Period

Global investment bank Standard Chartered has lowered its price target for Solana (SOL) this year. However, it raised its medium- to long-term price outlook compared with its previous view.

According to crypto-focused media outlet The Block on the 3rd (local time), Standard Chartered cut Solana’s 2025 price target to $250 from $310. In the near term, it judged that the market environment and the pace of ecosystem change could be slower than expected.

By contrast, it assessed the long-term outlook positively. Standard Chartered projected that Solana’s price could reach $400 in 2027, $700 in 2028, $1,200 in 2029, and $2,000 by the end of 2030.

The report analyzed that in 2025, the share of stablecoin transactions within the Solana ecosystem has been expanding, gradually moving away from a meme coin-centric structure. It said this process could lead to a short-term slowdown in growth, but may also result in greater ecosystem maturity.

Standard Chartered said Solana could underperform relative to Ethereum (ETH) in 2026–2027. It added that in the 2027–2030 period, when adoption of micropayments accelerates in earnest, Solana could also post a higher rate of increase than Bitcoin (BTC).
