You Won’t Believe This $520 Solana Prediction (Seriously!)

by

So, VanEck, the investment firm that’s been around longer than your aunt’s collection of holiday sweaters, just dropped a bombshell on Solana. The kind of prediction that makes you go, “Wait, is this a prank?” According to them, Solana (SOL) could reach $520 by the end of 2025. No, it’s not a typo. They really said it.

VanEck’s Outlandish $520 Solana Prediction

VanEck, which is basically the grandparent of investment firms with nearly 70 years of experience (and by “experience” we mean they’ve seen everything), is basing this on some wild market math. They’re focusing on Solana’s share in the smart contract platform (SCP) market, and—brace yourselves—they’re also talking about how crypto correlates with the US money supply. Because, obviously, crypto and money supply are totally the same thing, right? Sure, let’s roll with it.

In their oh-so-serious post on X (formerly Twitter—because apparently that’s where important financial forecasts live now), VanEck said:

“Our Solana Price Target by the End of 2025 is $520. We value Solana (SOL) based on its projected year-end market share within the smart contract platform (SCP) market. Our SCP market cap forecast is derived from US M2 money supply growth, given its strong historical correlation with crypto market capitalization.”

Translation: VanEck believes that Solana will reach this magical number by absorbing more of the market, with the US M2 money supply growing faster than your grandma’s collection of knitting projects. Their analysis has all the fancy math and graphs—regression analysis, market cap forecasting, you name it.

VanEck’s bold claim? By 2025, the US M2 money supply will hit a staggering $22.3 trillion. Apparently, this is going to help propel the total SCP market cap to $1.1 trillion by the end of 2025 (up from $770 billion today), surpassing its 2021 peak. This sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie.

And here’s where it gets really crazy: VanEck projects Solana’s market share will increase from 15% to 22% by the end of 2025. That means more people will use Solana for everything from DEX volumes to increasing their revenue. I mean, sure, why not, right? With the way things are going, we might all be paying for coffee with Solana tokens soon.

So, according to their fancy projections, if Solana’s market cap hits $250 billion by 2025 (yup, they’re predicting that too), that could push the token price to $520, based on some assumed number of tokens. And if you’re wondering, no, this isn’t a late-night infomercial. This is some serious financial stuff.

But Wait, There’s More (Kind of)

In the short term, things aren’t exactly looking rosy for Solana. It’s still in a corrective phase—aka it’s not exactly cruising toward $520 yet. As of right now, the price is hovering around $189, and it’s stuck in this nasty descending channel that’s like trying to walk uphill in a snowstorm. The price keeps dipping lower and lower, and it’s almost like it’s waiting for a sign. Spoiler alert: it’s not going to get one soon.

As of the last market check, Solana was caught between a rock and a hard place, with $175 as immediate support and $215 as resistance. And as if that weren’t enough, the Fibonacci levels (you know, those magical numbers that sound impressive in meetings) are also giving Solana a hard time. The first major hurdle is the 0.236 retracement level at $203.40.

But, hey, who needs Fibonacci when you’ve got VanEck predicting that $520 number, right?
