Solana made headlines today by reaching a new all-time high of $270.67, marking a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency.
However, after hitting this peak, its price experienced a pullback and is currently trading at $255.
The surge in Solana’s price has been attributed to a surprising development: newly inaugurated U.S. President Donald Trump launched a memecoin and chose Solana as its blockchain network. This unexpected announcement has created a wave of excitement across the crypto market.
As the rally continues, discussions are heating up about how far Solana’s price could climb. Crypto analyst Andrew Kang, known for his previous market predictions, suggested that Trump’s move might signal a larger initiative involving Solana, potentially tied to a U.S. Strategic Reserve project. Kang speculated that SOL could soar as high as $500 within the year.
If Solana were to reach this projected price, its market capitalization would rise to an impressive $250 billion. For now, the market remains abuzz with speculation, and all eyes are on Solana to see if it can sustain its upward momentum.
