Jakarta, Pintu News – Chris Burniske, a partner at crypto venture capital firm Placeholder and former crypto lead at Ark Invest, has predicted that the price of Solana could reach $420 by the end of 2025.
This prediction is based on the expectation that Bitcoin will reach new highs in the year. If Bitcoin (BTC) peaks at $142,069 this year, and the SOL/BTC ratio returns to its cyclical peak, then the Solana (SOL) price could reach around $420.

The SOL/BTC ratio, which measures the price performance of Solana (SOL) relative to Bitcoin (BTC), has increased by 330% between the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 before declining in April 2024. This indicates that Solana (SOL) has outperformed Bitcoin (BTC) over the period.
However, this ratio has fallen by 52% from its cycle peak, signaling the relative strength of Bitcoin (BTC) since the second quarter of 2024. Further analysis suggests that capital rotation from Solana (SOL) to Bitcoin (BTC) and vice versa could be occurring. The renewed rise for Bitcoin (BTC) could indicate that investors are moving profits from the largest digital asset to Solana (SOL). However, before a potential recovery, there is a high probability that the SOL/BTC ratio will drop to the support of the symmetrical triangle pattern.

From an on-chain perspective, the price of Solana (SOL) is closely tied to the traction of its memecoin sector. The decline in the memecoin frenzy in the first quarter of 2025 has dragged this altcoin below $100 for the first time since February 2024.
However, analysts from VanEck state that while some question the sustainability of this trend, Solana has proven its unparalleled ability to process large decentralized trading volumes. This places Solana as the most likely home for the next breakthrough trading application. The next crypto narrative, like last year’s AI agent craze, might happen within the Solana ecosystem and could boost its price.

The flow of corporate funds, especially from profit-seeking firms such as Solana Strategies (SOL), could fuel this altcoin’s price rise. SOL Strategies has been leading the pack, but more aggressive companies are starting to jump in.
Recently, DeFi Dev Corp purchased a validator business with 500,000 tethered SOLs (valued at $72.5 million) for corporate cash purposes. At Polymarket, the prediction site assigns a less than 30% chance that Solana (SOL) will reach a record high before 2026. This suggests that retailers are not as optimistic as Burniske about this altcoin.

With multiple factors potentially supporting Solana (SOL)’s price rise, including performance relative to Bitcoin (BTC) and the memecoin trend, as well as corporate fund flows, Solana’s future looks promising. However, the crypto market remains unpredictable and investors should stay alert to possible changes.
