Solana Reaches New High—Is the MEME Coin Hype Behind SOL’s Surge

  • SOL has surged to a new all-time high at $263.7 and aims higher.

  • Solana meme coin hype is also a reason for the cryptocurrency’s uptrend.

  • Largest Solana meme coin BONK is up over 50% in the past week.

Solana (SOL), the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, reached a new all-time high of $263.70 earlier today, outpacing most other digital assets since November 2023. The surge in SOL’s value is largely credited to the growing demand for meme coins on its blockchain and rising anticipation surrounding the potential approval of a spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF).

Data from CoinMarketCap reveals SOL’s price climbed 11.19% in the past 24 hours and is now eyeing the $300 level in the short term. If current market momentum persists, analysts believe SOL could target $500 during this bullish cycle, which is expected to last until 2025.

SOL has also gained 25.65% over the past week and 58.95% in the last 30 days. Since November 2023, its price has skyrocketed 383.36%, fueled by the rising prominence of Pump.fun, a top meme coin generator on the Solana blockchain.
