Standard Chartered Bank lowers recent Solana price forecast but raises 2030 outlook to $2000

PANews February 3 News, according to Decrypt, Standard Chartered Bank has downgraded its short-term price expectations for Solana in its latest research report, while significantly raising its long-term forecasts. The bank has lowered its end-of-2026 target price for SOL from $310 to $250, but expects it to reach $2000 by the end of 2030. The report points out that Solana’s decentralized exchange activity is shifting from Meme coin trading to SOL-stablecoin trading pairs, with its stablecoin turnover speed being 2 to 3 times faster than Ethereum, indicating different use cases; Solana’s “ultra-low-cost, fast, and reliable transaction model” will enable it to dominate fields requiring high throughput and low transaction costs, especially micro-payments driven by AI protocols like x402.
