Standard Chartered Starts Coverage on Solana, Predicts Moderate Growth Amid Ethereum Outperformance

Investment bank Standard Chartered has initiated coverage of Solana (SOL), forecasting that while the token will appreciate to $275 by the end of 2025 and $500 by 2029, it will likely underperform Ethereum (ETH) over the coming two to three years.

According to the report, the ETH/SOL price ratio is expected to widen from around 14 today to 17 by late 2027 before normalizing. Solana’s prominence in memecoin trading has driven substantial volume, but this trend appears to have peaked, leading to a lower valuation relative to its transaction revenue.

The bank emphasizes that Solana’s potential lies in sectors demanding high throughput, low fees, and fast processing, such as financial services and traditional consumer apps. However, achieving significant scale in these markets may take several years.
