SkyBridge analyst Anthony Scaramucci is bullish on the Solana SOL cryptocurrency, suggesting the asset may attain $2,500. This worth stage would symbolize a rise of virtually 2000% from the cryptocurrency's present worth stage. Scaramucci spoke finally week's Solana Breakpoint convention and made a giant prediction, however gave no timeline.
Scaramucci framed the $2,500 thesis as a long-term wager that didn't play out cleanly. “It's not going to occur with out volatility,” he mentioned, pointing to a turbulent U.S. regulatory yr and protracted inflation as headwinds that “in all probability slowed our trajectory.” He went on to say that “in case you had requested me firstly of the yr,” he would have predicted each whether or not Washington would move the stablecoin invoice and the “market construction, CLARITY invoice.” “That didn't occur.” Nonetheless, he insisted, “the timing continues to be proper.”
Scaramucci additionally argued that the rise in stablecoins has damage altcoins like Solana SOL, slowing their progress. Whereas the hype surrounding stablecoins is slowly dying down, it may open the door for an upturn within the altcoin season beginning within the new yr, and a bumpy street for SOL and different cash to new highs.
Solana (SOL blockchain was by a large margin the preferred community in 2025 based mostly on transaction quantity. Nonetheless, the native SOL token underperformed within the second half of the yr. In six months, Solana fell by greater than 13%, one of many hardest hit by the autumn/winter crypto crash. Bitcoin and ETH costs additionally fell.
In consequence, Solana (SOL) is unlikely to recuperate till the economic system improves. The Fed lower rates of interest by 25 foundation factors earlier this month. Decrease rates of interest usually make it simpler to borrow, resulting in extra dangerous investments. Nonetheless, since October, rate of interest cuts have had little impact on pushing up crypto costs. Come January and the Fed votes to chop rates of interest, maybe altcoins like SOL may lastly begin rising.
