Standard Chartered cuts 2026 SOL price target to $250

Global investment bank Standard Chartered has lowered its 2026 price target for Solana (SOL) to $250 from $310, The Block reported. However, the bank raised its long-term outlook, projecting SOL could reach $400 in 2027, $700 in 2028, $1,200 in 2029, and $2,000 by the end of 2030. Standard Chartered noted that in 2025, the Solana ecosystem began moving beyond its previous focus on meme coins as the share of stablecoin transactions grew. The bank's analysis suggests that while SOL may underperform Ethereum from 2026 to 2027, it could potentially outperform Bitcoin's growth rate between 2027 and 2030 as micropayment adoption accelerates.
