Solana price hits 7-month high, outlook points at $250
- Institutional demand and ETF momentum fuel Solana’s rally.
- Network upgrades have boosted speed, efficiency, and DeFi growth.
- Key test ahead as SOL eyes breakout above $245–$250.
The Solana price has surged to a seven-month high, extending its lead as one of the best performers in the digital currency market this year.
The token, which recently climbed past $225, has outpaced broader crypto benchmarks as investors, institutions, and traders rally behind what many see as a pivotal stage for the blockchain’s growth.
With momentum building from technical, institutional, and macroeconomic factors, Solana’s near-term outlook is now tilting towards a test of $250.
Solana price analysis
Solana’s recovery from earlier support around $200 has turned into a sustained rally, fueled by higher highs and steady trendline support.
Notably, there is an ascending triangle formation that often precedes sharp breakouts, with resistance zones emerging between $245 and $280.
A clean push above these levels would put Solana in striking distance of its January all-time high near $293.
Technical indicators remain bullish, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering at manageable levels despite recent gains, while the MACD has flashed a golden cross that signals further upward momentum.
As long as $200 holds as a solid floor, Solana’s chart continues to favour the bulls.
Solana institutional interest rises
Solana’s futures open interest on the CME reached a record $1.49 billion on September 9, underscoring the role that large investors are playing in driving demand.
Additionally, the launch of the first US Solana staking ETF has deepened the trend, adding legitimacy to Solana’s position within regulated markets.
Fresh developments on Wall Street have amplified the story, with Nasdaq recently welcoming the listing of SOL Strategies (ticker STKE), the first Solana-focused treasury company, which currently holds about $90 million worth of the token.
The listing is seen as a milestone for institutional validation, echoing the trajectory Bitcoin followed with ETFs.
At the same time, other firms such as Upexi and DeFi Development Corp. have accumulated hundreds of millions in Solana (SOL) this year, while Forward Industries announced a $1.65 billion raise with plans to anchor a large Solana treasury.
Solana network gets faster
The Solana blockchain itself is also undergoing meaningful upgrades.
For instance, the recent Alpenglow consensus upgrade has reduced transaction finality to just 150 milliseconds, while recent capacity increases have boosted throughput by two-thirds.
These changes address previous bottlenecks and enhance Solana’s appeal as a high-performance Layer 1 network.
In addition, although memecoins still dominate fee generation, Solana’s total value locked in DeFi has reached $13 billion, rising sharply over the third quarter.
Solana price forecast
The short-term Solana price outlook is centred on whether Solana can close above the $245 to $250 zone.
A decisive breakout would strengthen the case for an extension toward $280, with higher targets of $300 to $350 possible if momentum continues.
Macroeconomic conditions could provide the additional fuel needed for the rise to $280, markets pricing in US interest rate cuts before the year’s end, a shift that often benefits risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
If ETF approvals materialise in the coming months, Solana’s relatively smaller market size compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum means that even moderate inflows could have an outsized effect on its price.
However, a pullback toward $200 remains a risk if profit-taking sets in, especially given the token’s strong 90-day run of more than 55%.

Coinbase-backed petition pushes UK on blockchain and stablecoin policy
- Coinbase backs UK petition urging stablecoin rules and blockchain adoption.
- Petition tops 5K signatures; 10K triggers government reply, 100K a debate.
- Supporters warn UK risks falling behind without clear crypto strategy.
A public petition urging the United Kingdom to adopt a pro-innovation strategy for blockchain and stablecoins has gathered momentum after crypto exchange Coinbase rallied its users to support the initiative.
The petition, which has been live on the UK government’s website since July, calls for a comprehensive framework covering stablecoin regulation, blockchain adoption, and the appointment of a blockchain “czar.”
While it initially gained little attention, interest accelerated this week after Coinbase issued in-app messages encouraging users to sign.
Screenshots shared on social media showed notifications from the exchange urging customers to “help UK lead stablecoin innovation now.”
At the time of writing, the petition had surpassed 5,000 signatures.
Once it reaches 10,000 signatures, the government is required to issue a formal response.
If the total climbs to 100,000 signatures, the proposal will be considered for parliamentary debate.
The petition remains open until March 3, 2026.
Calls for regulatory clarity and innovation
The proposal outlines three specific demands: establishing a framework for stablecoins and tokenization, promoting blockchain adoption across government functions, and designating a senior official dedicated to overseeing crypto policy.
Supporters of the petition argue that stablecoins form the foundation of a tokenized economy and that regulatory clarity is essential for the UK to remain competitive.
The petition highlights that the United States has ruled out a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in favor of stablecoins, suggesting that the UK risks falling behind without a clear strategy.
“This is a question of national interest to preserve the competitiveness of the City and sterling’s global standing,” the petition states.
Advocates warn that without timely action, the UK may lose its edge to other jurisdictions pursuing more aggressive digital asset strategies.
Coinbase’s role in shaping UK crypto policy
Coinbase has been vocal in its campaign for clearer digital asset regulation in the UK.
In recent months, the exchange has stepped up efforts to influence public debate and policymaking.
On July 31, Coinbase released a satirical video titled “Everything is Fine.”
The video contrasted upbeat lyrics celebrating Britain’s financial system with visuals of inflation, poverty, and economic challenges, a pointed critique of the status quo.
Just days later, on August 5, former UK Chancellor and current Coinbase adviser George Osborne published an opinion piece in the Financial Times.
In the article, Osborne warned that the UK is falling behind in the global digital asset race and singled out stablecoins as an area where the country has ceded ground.
Coinbase’s support for the petition reflects its broader strategy of pressing for regulatory clarity and fostering a more favorable operating environment for digital assets in the UK.
With the petition already halfway to the government’s response threshold, the initiative underscores growing pressure on policymakers to provide direction on stablecoins and blockchain innovation.
