Where Will Solana Be in 3 Years?
Yahoo Finance ·
Solana ( SOL 0.52% ) set a record high of $295 on Jan. 18, 2025. That marked a near-190% gain over its previous 12 months. But as of this writing, the token trades at about $73. Let's see why Solana soared, why it pulled back, and where it could head over the next three years. Like Ethereum ( ETH +0.74% ) , Solana is a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain that supports staking (locking tokens to earn rewards) and smart contracts (for developing decentralized apps). However, Solana's Layer-1 (L1) blockchain is much faster than Ethereum's L1 blockchain because it integrates its own proof-of-history (PoH) mechanism, which timestamps transactions before they're validated, into its PoS consensus mechanism. Ethereum remains the world's largest developer-oriented PoS blockchain, but Solana has become the second-largest one and is gaining new developers at a faster rate. Solana also processed more transactions than Ethereum in the first quarter of 2026. In 2024 and 2025, Solana soared as Circle , Visa , PayPal , Stripe, and other payment companies used its speedy blockchain to settle their stablecoin transfers. More financial institutions also tokenized their assets on Solana's blockchain. The launch of the TRUMP ( TRUMP 1.63% ) coin on its blockchain was the final catalyst that drove it to its all-time high last January. But over the past year, Solana pulled back amid fears of interest rate hikes and a security breach this April, spooking its investors.
