VanEck Says New Inflation Proposal Will Boost Solana Price Value

Solana price has been under bearish pressure due to FTX unlocks. However, VanEck believes that a new proposal could shift the market sentiment, In its recent monthly report, VanEck hailed the SIMD 0228 proposal whose vote is scheduled today. It noted that the proposal was the “most impactful” to Solana price as it would reduce the annual inflation rate from 4.7% to 1.5%. Per the asset manager,

“We believe lowering inflation is a worthy goal that strengthens Solana’s long-term sustainability. Maintaining a predictable and low inflation rate can support SOL’s value by reducing dilution and sell pressure.” 

The head of digital assets research at VanEck, Matthew Sigel, had also supported the proposal, saying it could stabilize and strengthen Solana’s position in the crypto industry.
