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 U.S. M2 money supply growth, given its strong historical correlation with crypto market capitalization.
We project M2 to reach $22.3T by the end of 2025, maintaining its 3.2% annualized growth rate since its last trough in October 2023. Using regression analysis, we estimate total SCP market capitalization will grow 43% to $1.1T by year-end 2025 (vs. $770B today), surpassing its 2021 peak of $989B. Historical data shows a strong correlation between M2 and SCP market cap, with a 12-month moving average R² of 0.36 and a t-statistic of 5.7 (p < 0.0001).
Currently, Solana holds 15% of SCP market cap, but we forecast its share to rise to 22% by EOY 2025. This projection is supported by Solana’s developer dominance, increasing market share in DEX volumes, revenues, and active users. Using an autoregressive (AR) forecast model, we estimate Solana’s market cap will reach ~$250B, implying a SOL price of $520 based on ~486M floating tokens.

Prediction #1: Crypto bull market hits a medium-term peak in Q1, sets new highs in Q4. We project Bitcoin to be valued at around $180,000, Ethereum to trade above $6,000, Solana to exceed $500, and Sui to surpass $10.
Prediction #2: The U.S. will embrace Bitcoin with a strategic reserve and increased crypto adoption. With new SEC leadership, multiple new spot crypto ETPs will be approved. Ethereum ETPs will include staking, while both Ethereum and Bitcoin ETPs will allow in-kind transactions and redemptions.
Prediction #3: Value of tokenized securities exceeds $50 billion. Tokenized securities grew 61% in 2024 to $12 billion, but most of that value is on permissioned chains. We think 2025 will be a breakthrough year for tokenized securities to launch on open-source blockchains as entities like DTCC explore bridging public and private blockchains.
Prediction #1. The US recession will finally arrive, but so will the first spot #Bitcoin ETFs. Over $2.4B may flow into these ETFs in Q1 2024 to support Bitcoin’s price.
Prediction #2: The 4th #Bitcoin halving in 2024 will see minimal market disruption and a post-halving rise in Bitcoin's price, with significant gains for some low-cost miners.
Prediction #3: #Bitcoin will make an all-time high in Q4 2024, potentially spurred by political events and regulatory shifts following a US presidential election.
PLEASE NOTE: Fund effective as of September 29, 2023. The Fund is not yet available for trading and there is no assurance that the Fund will commence trading.
1/ Our upcoming VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF (EFUT) launch is simply a reflection of your imagination and dedication, as well as our hope for Ethereum’s mainstream adoption in the future.
VanEck 🤝 2023 Crypto Outlook: Our Top 11 Predictions🧵
1. #Bitcoin will test $10-12K in Q1 amid a wave of miner bankruptcies, which will mark the low point of the #cryptowinter. ❄️
2. In the second half of 2023, #Bitcoin will rise to $30K. Lower inflation, easing energy concerns, a possible truce in Ukraine, and a turnaround in M2 supply will power the start of a new bull market. 🐂📈
3. Financial institutions will tokenize more than $10B in off-chain assets on #blockchain. ⛓🏦
