Missed the $800 mark this year, but here's what's got people talking: will SOL break through that psychological barrier in 2025?

The question isn't just about hitting a number—it's about whether Solana's network growth and ecosystem momentum can justify that valuation level. Current market dynamics, developer adoption, and DeFi activity on the chain all play into whether this becomes reality or remains speculation.

What's your take? Do the fundamentals support a move to that level, or are we looking at a different trajectory for Solana this cycle?

On-chain data shows that the whales are starting to accumulate again. 800 tokens is not a dream, the question is whether we can live until that day [dog head]

Is the $800 threshold really that difficult... It seems like DeFi activity is increasing. Whether SOL can break through this wave mainly depends on whether developers are truly attracted. It was almost reached this year, and the probability is still quite high next year. The pace of ecosystem expansion is indeed fast, but the risks are not small. Mentally, I just go with the flow; anyway, I am still continuing to buy.

Wait, is the 800 threshold really that sacred? I think instead of obsessing over numbers, it's better to focus on on-chain activity. Ecological actions are indeed happening, but have developers really invested money? That's the key point. Honestly, psychological price points are just self-suggestion; whether they break through or not depends on actual transaction volume. I believe in SOL's DeFi vitality, but can it soar in 2025? It's still uncertain. Ecological prosperity does not equal price surges; that logic is too simplistic and crude, haha.

$800 is just a psychological barrier; the key is whether the ecosystem can hold up. Otherwise, even if it rises again, it's all for nothing.

800 dollars? Dream on. I haven't even touched it this year. SOL is just hype driven by stories. Can the actual developer activity support this valuation... I doubt it.

$800? *checks notes* ah yes, the classic "this time is different" psychological barrier discourse. we literally did this exact same song and dance in 2021, except back then it was luna at $100. fundamentals didn't matter then either, just vibes and hopium.

Nah $800 is still a bit uncertain; it depends on whether the ecosystem can truly deliver results this year.

$800? Wake up. It's already good enough that it has reached this price this year. Don't always think about hitting it all at once.

Wait, wait, wait, is $800 really a psychological barrier? I feel like this is just a market-created illusion. But to be fair, the SOL developer ecosystem is indeed picking up, I agree. Why hasn't it broken $800 yet... what kind of good news would it take? Look at the ecosystem data to speak, don't just make things up; I'll decide based on the fundamentals. It will definitely break through, the question is when. 2025 is a good opportunity, right?
