Solana price prediction is once again dominating crypto headlines, with renewed bullish momentum triggered by ETF approvals, increasing institutional exposure, and the rising relevance of Solana-based applications. But the key question remains: can Solana break the $200 barrier and set up for a rally toward $250 in November 2025?
At the time of writing, Solana (SOL) is trading at $194.27, down 4.38% in the past 24 hours but holding steady above key short-term support.
Meanwhile, a new presale token built on Solana’s infrastructure – Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – has quietly raised over $25 million, gaining traction from early buyers betting on fast blockchain utility.
Institutional Support Grows as ETF Trading Begins
The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF ($BSOL) has officially launched on NYSE Arca, becoming the first U.S. ETP to offer 100% exposure to spot SOL. With 7%+ staking rewards and full asset coverage, the ETF is expected to attract institutional capital into the Solana ecosystem.
In addition, Fidelity has now added Solana to its brokerage platform, further expanding retail access to SOL.

This move comes alongside new filings from VanEck, suggesting more Solana ETFs are likely on the horizon. These developments signal long-term institutional belief in Solana, even as retail metrics show a different story.
Key Levels: $175 Support, $200 Resistance
Solana’s price action has remained within a $170–$200 range for most of October, forming a well-defined consolidation zone. The $175 level has acted as critical support, aligning with the 200-day EMA and catching multiple dips. If this level fails, analysts are watching $130 as the next potential floor. Meanwhile, $200 has become a psychological wall, with repeated rejections around this level.
A successful break and close above $200–205 could quickly send SOL to $215, followed by extended targets near $250, as projected in recent trading models. Resistance remains strong, but short-term bulls are testing momentum.
The U.S. inflation report this week could directly impact risk asset pricing, including SOL. If CPI beats the 3.1% forecast, markets could price in a delayed Fed pivot, which may hurt bullish sentiment. But if inflation cools, it could fuel a risk-on rally across crypto, helping SOL break above resistance.
For now, $175 support vs $200 resistance remains the key battleground.
On-Chain Metrics Show Mixed Signals
Despite bullish headlines, daily active users (DAUs) have dropped from 6.9 million in January to just 2.9 million. This signals declining retail engagement and reduced demand for dApps. Yet, institutions are quietly increasing holdings. Treasuries now own over $2 billion in SOL, and the REX-Osprey Solana ETF has pulled in $400 million since summer.
This retail-institutional divergence makes the short-term price action harder to call but reinforces long-term confidence from large buyers.
Solana stablecoins hit a new all-time high of $16.25 billion in market cap on October 14, up from $5B at the start of the year. This indicates a massive 200%+ growth, which often correlates with deeper DeFi activity and liquidity migration.
More capital on Solana means more DeFi use, more protocols, and a rising incentive to build on the chain – all of which support higher SOL valuations over time.
Bitcoin Hyper: The Solana-Powered Presale Gaining Attention
While traders debate short-term targets for SOL, another Solana-linked project is capturing early investor interest. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) has already raised $25.1 million in its ongoing presale, with the token currently priced at $0.013185 and climbing soon.
Here’s why it’s gaining traction:
Built using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) for speed and scalability
A Layer 2 for Bitcoin, solving slow transaction times with near-instant transfers
Allows users to stake BTC, earn rewards, and use decentralized finance tools
$HYPER can be bought directly with SOL, USDT, ETH, or card via verified on-chain presale
As institutions accumulate SOL, retail traders are pivoting to projects like Bitcoin Hyper that offer real utility and tie back into Solana’s growing backend.
