Solana Price Could Surge 55% After $8B Manager’s Bold Stablecoin Forecast

Solana price is falling today, August 26, as the sentiment in the crypto industry worsens. SOL token dropped to $188, moving further away from the psychological point at $200. Still, technical analysis points to a 55% surge to an all-time high as a fund manager delivered a bold forecast on its stablecoin growth. 

Solana Price Could Surge as Expert Predicts its Stablecoin Growth

Solana price has done well in the past few years as it because of its domination in the meme coin industry. Now, Greg King, the chief executive of REX Financial, has predicted that it could become the next big thing in the booming stablecoin industry.

He believes that Solana’s technology is superior to that of Ethereum, which currently dominates the sector today.

His statement is notable because REX, the company he runs, has accumulated over $8 billion in assets. Some of those assets are the recently launched Solana Staking ETF, which has accumulated over $177 million in assets under management, a month after its launch.

Data shows that Solana has a long way to go to catch up to Ethereum in the stablecoin industry. According to Artemis, its stablecoin supply has jumped by 5.60% in the last 30 days to $12 billion, making it the second-biggest chain in the sector. 

Solana’s stablecoin transaction volume soared by 90% in this period to over $192 billion. This growth in transactions will boost its network fees, which are averaging $1.4 million a day.

Strong stablecoin growth on Solana gained after the recently signed GENIUS Act, which is now governing these coins in the United States.

Solana price has other potential catalysts that may push it to a record. 9 companies have applied for spot SOL ETFs, which will likely be approved by the end of the year. These funds will likely attract more inflows from American investors as Bitcoin and Ethereum have demonstrated in the past two years. 

More data shows that the Solana network is doing better than other chains. The network’s transactions stood at over 2.25 billion in the last 30 days, much higher than most other layer-1 and layer-2 chains.

SOL Price Technical Analysis

The daily timeframe chart shows that the Solana price has been in an uptrend after falling to $93.35 in April as the trade war started. It formed a golden cross pattern on July 22. This pattern forms when the 50-day and 200-day moving average cross each other while pointing upwards. 

SOL price has found substantial resistance close to the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level and the overshoot point of the Murrey Math Lines. A surge above that level will point to more gains to its all-time high at $295, which is about 55% above the current price. 

On the other hand, a drop below the strong pivot reverse level will cancel the bullish SOL price forecastfor 2025.
