Solana (SOL) Targets $1,000 as 2025 Revenue Surge Fuels Long-Term Bull Case
Solana isn't just climbing—it's building a rocket. The network's 2025 revenue explosion has analysts whispering about a four-digit price target that would have seemed delusional just a cycle ago.
The Engine Behind the Ascent
Forget gradual growth. Solana's 2025 performance wasn't an uptick; it was a vertical leap. A major surge in network revenue—the kind that makes traditional finance spreadsheets blush—has provided the fundamental fuel. This isn't speculative hype. It's the blockchain processing value at a scale that demands a wholesale re-evaluation of its ceiling.
Why $1,000 Isn't a Fantasy
The target isn't plucked from thin air. It's a direct function of the network's expanding utility and captured value. Every transaction, every NFT mint, every DeFi swap contributes to a fee economy that's growing exponentially. When the underlying machine starts printing money, the token that powers it tends to catch up. It's simple math, even if Wall Street still struggles with the concept of an internet-owned computer.
The Road Ahead
Reaching that milestone requires more than momentum—it demands sustained execution. The network must continue to onboard the next million users, host the next killer app, and prove its resilience. The 2025 revenue surge is the proof-of-concept. The long-term target is the thesis. The market, ever a skeptic until it's too late, is slowly connecting the dots. One thing's clear: in the race for blockchain supremacy, Solana just hit the nitrous.
Solana Chart Structure Signals Accumulation Phase
Taking a look at the long-term weekly chart of SOL/USDT, we can see the position of Solana within its cycle. It was observed to have peaked within 2021 and then continued to MOVE lower for the rest of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, forming a clear downtrend channel.
The decline then reached the support level of $10 to $15, which was similar to a DEEP retracement from the previous bull trend. The transition out of this region happened quite quickly and obviously.

Solana, which got out of the downtrend, rallied over 600% and clearly demonstrated that there is a different structure in the market. Rather than declining after that significant hike, there was a wide range of consolidation in terms of the market’s price.
SOL was following the upward trendline and support levels from 2024 to the beginning of 2025. The actual retreat is bringing prices closer to the 0.5 to 0.618 levels of the last increase. Another major level was $120, according to Crypto Patel.
Below this, prices may break below $100, and there WOULD be a bigger buy zone from $98 to $50. Historical trends have usually implied good long-term entry points for pullbacks rather than the end of the cycle.
Revenue Leadership Strengthens Long-Term Case
Though prices may be calming down, Solana’s blockchain has a different story to tell. According to CryptoRank and Artemis Analytics, Solana has made a revenue of approximately $1.3 billion in 2025, placing it at the top of the list of highest-earning blockchain networks.

The second-highest earner, Ethereum, made a revenue of approximately $524 million, far behind Solana. The primary source of this revenue came through DeFi and memecoins.
Solana processed heavy volumes at an economical rate and supported around 39.8 million active addresses and a TVL of about $17.3 billion. This is also the third quarter in which Solana outperformed others in terms of revenue.
