Solana price predictions have been bolstered as a leading candidate for a proposed pilot program that would bring U.S. equities, like stocks, on-chain. A coalition made up of the Solana Foundation, crypto asset manager Superstate, and DeFi platform Orca has submitted the 18-month pilot proposal to the SEC. Project Open aims to deliver instant trade settlement—something traditional finance has struggled to achieve—ultimately opening the door for a regulatory framework. While Solana’s 60% April-long surge has since plateaued, approval could reignite momentum, strengthening the altcoin’s case in the “best crypto to buy” conversation. Solana Price Analysis: Could Tokenisation Push SOL to $1000? No one has named specific chains, but Solana’s involvement puts it at the heart of the tokenization effort—a niche projected to grow to $19 trillion by 2033. It's pretty obvious that RWA is one of the highest upside sectors in the entire space.

A clean move above this level would bring the $190 resistance into focus — a likely retest point aligning with the upper bound of the descending channel forming the handle. This 25% setup is gaining credibility as technical indicators turn bullish. The RSI is climbing toward the neutral 50 line, showing growing buyer strength. Most notably, the MACD is nearing a bullish golden cross — poised to flip above the signal line for the first time since the post-election rally. Historically, this setup signals the early stages of a major trend reversal on higher time frames. If Solana can break above the pattern’s resistance, the rally could extend to $350 — a 200% gain from current levels. And if momentum holds, a run toward $1,000 isn’t off the table. Solana Faces One Major Roadblock – But This New Layer-2 Could Be the Game-Changer Speculators have been quick to rule out Solana as a candidate, questioning its ability to support the high-volume demand of global finance markets with its biggest limitation: scalability. But that narrative could shift with the arrival of Solaxy ($SOLX) , Solana’s first-ever Layer-2 scaling solution. Solana has long lacked this capability, limiting its DeFi and cross-chain use case—until now. By processing transactions off-chain and finalizing them on Solana, Solaxy significantly reduces congestion and lowers transaction costs, while offering seamless interoperability across both blockchains. With over $32.5 million in its ongoing presale , investors are already rallying behind the project. When demand for Solana increases, it could be the one to reap the fresh ecosystem liquidity. You can keep up with Solaxy on X and Telegram , or join the presale on the Solaxy website .
