VanEck Report Enthusiasm
When analyzing the recent price movements, various experts in the market have pointed out different factors. One notable influence mentioned by several analysts is the VanEck report on Solana. The report, titled “VanEck’s Base, Bear, Bull Case: Solana Valuation by 2030,” explores a scenario where Solana becomes the first platform to accommodate an application that attracts over 100 million users. According to the report, Solana could generate $8 billion in revenue for token holders by 2030. Armando Aguilar, an independent cryptocurrency analyst, emphasized the impact of this report, stating, “The main driver of price momentum has been VanEck’s in-depth analysis report on Solana.”

Joseph Nemelka, Head of Growth/Partnerships for Aark Digital, also acknowledged the significance of the VanEck report, remarking, “The VanEck report was definitely a big driver of this move as many traders are following that analysis.”
Investor Mindset Shift
Another factor that analysts cited as contributing to Solana’s price surge is a change in investors’ mindset. There has been a renewed interest in the cryptocurrency space, which has led investors to pay closer attention to digital currencies. Brett Sifling, an investment advisor for Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, commented on this development, stating, “Solana has likely benefited from the renewed interest in crypto recently, as Bitcoin kicked off a rally that spilled over to other altcoins like SOL.”

Jacob Joseph, Research Analyst at CCData, also acknowledged the renewed interest in crypto, which may have been partly fueled by ETF rumors.
FTX’s Impact and Solana’s Recovery
One analyst highlighted the substantial impact that FTX’s failure had on Solana and discussed its ability to recover from such a setback. Joseph stated, “Solana also suffered heavily following the collapse of FTX, considering the connection between the exchange and the token. Now these concerns have, for the most part, subsided, and market sentiment is picking up. Solana is starting to attract the attention of market participants once again.”
