Solana is projected to hit the range of between $300 - $600 before the year runs out. The main question is, is this achievable within the remaining 4 months plus of 2025? The case scenario of Sol price prediction pumping during the Altcoin + Alpenglow upgrade and ETF approval is around $300 - $600 this year. The reason for this surge in price of Sol will be
* Play Solana Gen1 console launch which is around October
* Alpenglow upgrade goes live
* DeFi, NFT and AI growth
* VanEck ETF filing pending SEC decision
* Over 585,000 SOL has recently been staked across validators to further removing tokens from circulation and reinforcing network security

The duel trend of holding + staking is a powerful bullish signal. The circulating supply   is reduced by whales accumulation and staking.
