VanEck Predicts $520 Solana Surge as Network Stability Hits Milestone
Solana has now gone a full year without experiencing any outages, a milestone that highlights its growing network stability.
This achievement coincides with an optimistic forecast from asset manager VanEck, which expects SOL to soar to $520 by the end of 2025.
VanEck’s prediction is based on Solana’s increasing dominance in the smart contract sector, along with its expanding share of decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volumes and active users. The firm, which also manages Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, linked its outlook to the expansion of the U.S. M2 money supply, suggesting that the blockchain’s rising adoption could drive a surge in value.
According to VanEck, Solana’s market capitalization could reach around $250 billion, assuming a circulating supply of approximately 486 million tokens. Currently, SOL is priced at $197—up 105% over the past year—but still below its peak of $293, reached in early 2024.

The improved network reliability follows years of technical struggles, including a significant outage that lasted 19 hours in 2024. However, recent advancements, such as the Firedancer validator client developed by Jump Crypto, have contributed to Solana’s performance and resilience.
Beyond technical improvements, Solana has seen a rise in mainstream exposure. The blockchain has been at the center of the recent meme coin frenzy, hosting tokens such as TRUMP and MELANIA, linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. These assets have experienced extreme volatility, especially amid speculation over Trump’s stance on trade policies.
At the same time, institutional interest in Solana is growing. Major investment firms have filed applications to launch Solana-based ETFs, and Coinbase has announced plans to introduce futures trading for the token.
