VanEck, a U.S.-based investment firm, has projected that Solana 
$146 could reach $520 by the end of 2025. The report emphasizes the growth potential of smart contract platforms and highlights an expected increase in the M2 money supply. It suggests that global economic expansion and heightened interest could elevate Solana’s market capitalization significantly.
M2 Money Supply and Rising Interest
The M2 money supply consists of cash, demand deposits, savings accounts, and easily convertible assets. According to VanEck’s report, the M2 money supply in the U.S., currently at $21.5 trillion, could rise to $22.3 trillion by 2025. Lower interest rates and expansionary monetary policies may enhance investor confidence.
Increased liquidity in the markets may have significant effects, especially in technology and finance. The rising demand for smart contract platforms could lead to greater adoption of projects like Solana. VanEck emphasizes that these factors could directly influence Solana’s price movements.
Solana’s Market Share is Expanding
Smart contract platforms are expected to grow by 43% by 2025, reaching a total market cap of $1.1 trillion. Currently, Solana holds approximately 15% of this market share, a figure that VanEck predicts could increase to 22% by the end of 2025.
Solana’s growth is supported by rising developer activity, decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes, user base, and revenues. According to VanEck, the platform’s market value could reach $250 billion, potentially driving the SOL price to $520.
Regulatory developments in the U.S. are also noteworthy. VanEck announced plans to apply for a Solana-based investment fund. The evaluation process by the SEC could pave the way for new products in the cryptocurrency market.
