Standard Chartered Bank has lowered its near-term price forecast for Solana, reducing its year-end 2026 target price for SOL from $310 to $250, but raised its long-term forecast, expecting SOL to reach $2,000 by the end of 2030. Standard Chartered points out that Solana, with its extremely low fees and high throughput, is shifting from Meme coin trading to the SOL stablecoin trading pair and is expected to dominate AI-driven micropayments, although large-scale adoption of these applications will still take several years.
