US EditionHere's why one analyst expects Solana (SOL) to rise twenty-fold from current depressed level
- Geoffrey Kendrick, Standard Chartered's global head of digital asset research, wrote Tuesday that AI-driven micropayments show an `order of magnitude` cost reduction on Solana , trading at $100, with a forecast to reach $250 by end-2026 as its memecoin reputation shifts toward digital payments.
- Flows on decentralized exchanges on Solana have started to shift from memecoins to SOL-stablecoin trading pairs, aided by AI-driven micropayments, while nearly half of 2025 fees came from memecoin trading and Solana gas fees are often less than a cent.
- On-Chain data and platforms show Solana stablecoin turnover now outpaces Ethereum, with x402 processing six-cent transactions, while Bitwise BSOL ETF absorbed 78% of SOL ETF inflows since October 2025.
- Event-Contract traders show a 30% chance SOL drops below $40 and a 41% chance it exceeds $200, with outcomes depending on scale and adoption, Kendrick said.
- Institutional allocations and treasury holdings support a scenario where Standard Chartered projects SOL could reach $2,000 by 2030, with targets of $400 in 2027, $700 in 2028, and $1,200 in 2029.
