According to CoinDesk, investment firm VanEck predicts that Solana's SOL token price will reach $520 by the end of 2025, as demand for smart contract platforms (SCPs) grows and the US M2 money supply increases in the coming months. VanEck predicts that by 2025, the M2 money supply will increase from the current $21.5 trillion to $22.3 trillion. When the US central bank increases M2 by lowering interest rates or implementing quantitative easing policies, more funds enter the circulation sector, leading to an increase in liquidity in the economy and encouraging investment in risky assets such as cryptocurrencies.
On the other hand, the SCP market is a domain operated by platforms such as Solana, which allows for the creation and execution of smart contracts. VanEck estimates that by the end of 2025, the size of the SCP market may grow by 43%, reaching $1.1 trillion. Currently, Solana holds approximately 15% of the market share, but VanEck expects this proportion to rise to 22% by the end of 2025. The report added, "Using autoregressive (AR) prediction models, we estimate that Solana's market value will reach approximately $250 billion, based on approximately 486 million circulating tokens, which means SOL's price will reach $520
