An investment of $1,000 in Solana in April 2020, when it started trading, would be worth $300,000 now. Even those who invested in Solana at the beginning of 2021 have benefited, as the crypto has returned more than 13,000 percent since. Now at about $200, Solana has pulled back about 20 percent from its peak. Is it time to buy the dip? What’s Solana's price prediction for 2030?
A programmable blockchain that supports smart contracts, Solana is one of Ethereum’s most prominent competitors. Others include Cardano, Avalanche, and Algorand. Some 500 projects working on DeFi, games, and NFT products have been built on Solana, and more are coming.
