Solana (SOL) price recovery has faced significant resistance at $156 as crypto market sentiment wanes. As top experts like Cathie Wood, Larry Fink, and Arthur Hayes forecast BTC reaching seven-figure valuations, SOL could see exponential gains, potentially outperforming Bitcoin in the next bull run.
Solana (SOL) Price Target if Bitcoin (BTC) Surges to $1 Million
As noted above, Bitcoin’s bullish momentum strengthening could serve as a tailwind for Solana’s price. Here are a few prominent analysts who predict BTC could jump to $1 million or higher in the next five years:
Cathie Wood of ARK Invest expects BTC to hit $2.4M by 2030.
Arthur Hayes & Robert Kiyosaki are looking at $1M per BTC 2028
On the other hand, BlackRock’s Larry Fink forecasts a conservative target of $700k per BTC in the long term.
While the targets for Bitcoin (BTC) are ambitious, it isn’t unlikely. As a result, Solana potentially outperforming BTC isn’t out of the realm of possibility in the long term. In fact, the chart below shows that Solana’s performance since 2023 has beaten Bitcoin’s by a factor of 2.3 despite the FTX setback.

If Bitcoin achieves the optimistic targets of $700k to $2.4m per BTC, it wouldn’t be a surprise to expect Solana to 10x from its current price and hit $1450. This would make Solana price forecast extremely bullish and would push SOL’s market cap to $750 billion, higher than Ethereum’s 2021 value.

Potential Spot ETF: JPMorgan estimates $6B in inflows if a Solana ETF is approved.
Ecosystem Growth: SOL has outperformed BTC by 2.3x since January 2023, with faster transaction speeds and lower fees than Ethereum.
