Solana is trading near $126 after a volatile December that flushed out short-term traders while leaving the broader structure intact. Although the trend remains corrective, renewed institutional commentary and steady network progress are keeping Solana in focus among large-cap crypto assets.
Scaramucci’s $2,500 Long-Term Thesis
Anthony Scaramucci hasn’t backed away from his bold call that Solana could reach $2,500 over the next five to ten years. Speaking at Solana Breakpoint, the SkyBridge Capital founder framed the projection as a long-duration infrastructure bet, not a straight-line rally. His core argument rests on two pillars: large-scale tokenization and clearer US regulation.
Scaramucci acknowledged that 2025 fell short of expectations on policy. Stablecoin legislation and broader market-structure reforms failed to materialise, while sticky inflation added macro friction. Still, he argues timing rather than direction has shifted.
In his view, Solana’s ability to handle high-volume transactions with speed and finality positions it as a future financial “rail system,” especially as traditional assets migrate on-chain.
Tokenization, Adoption, and Network Resilience
Scaramucci’s long-term case rests less on price cycles and more on where real assets are likely to move next. He argues that equities, bonds, and funds will increasingly be issued and settled on blockchains, and that Solana is positioned to compete for that role because of speed, cost, and finality.
Execution matters as much as vision. Solana’s network has now operated for close to two years without a major outage, easing a concern that once dominated institutional discussions.
Scaramucci pointed to Solana’s repeated use for high-volume launches as practical evidence of its capacity, even as he acknowledged that memecoin speculation distorted liquidity and complicated the US regulatory debate.
Solana Price Prediction: Can SOL Break the Downtrend and Reclaim $140 Next?
From a technical standpoint, Solana price prediction remains bearish. SOL/USD is trading inside a descending channel on the 4-hour chart after rejecting the $145 area earlier this month. Price dipped below the 50-EMA near $127.70 and the 100-EMA around $130.80, confirming short-term bearish control.
However, the rebound from $116.90 was telling, marked by long lower wicks and stronger follow-through buying.
RSI has recovered toward 51, signaling fading downside momentum rather than a fresh selloff. Price is now compressing between $121–$122 support and $130–$133 resistance, where EMAs and the channel midline converge.
Breakout Levels and the Path Ahead
On the technical front, two scenarios stand out:
- A sustained break above $133.80 opens a recovery path toward $139.80, then $145
- Rejection keeps pressure on the downside, exposing $121 and potentially $116.80
For traders, acceptance above $134 favors upside continuation toward $140–$145, with risk defined below $121.
As volatility compresses, Solana’s consolidation looks less like exhaustion and more like preparation, aligning long-term conviction with a technically pivotal moment.
PEPENODE: A Mine-to-Earn Meme Coin Nearing Presale Close
PEPENODE is gaining momentum as a next-generation meme coin that blends viral culture with interactive gameplay. With over $2.36 mn raised and the presale approaching its cap, interest is building fast as the countdown enters its final stretch.
What makes PEPENODE stand out is its mine-to-earn virtual ecosystem. Instead of passive holding, users can build digital server rooms using Miner Nodes and facilities, earning simulated rewards through a visual dashboard. The concept brings gamification and competition into the meme coin space, giving holders something to do before launch.
The project also offers presale staking, allowing early participants to earn boosted rewards ahead of the token generation event. Leaderboards and bonus incentives are planned post-launch to keep engagement high.
With 1 $PEPENODE priced at $0.0012016 and limited allocation remaining, the presale is entering its final opportunity window for early buyers.
