The price of Solana now stands at $217.71. The Q4 2024 Crypto Investment Manager Survey by MV Global suggests that the SOL price may reach around $600 in this bull cycle. Let’s analyse what the survey report conveys in depth.
Solana’s $600 Potential in the Bull Cycle
The Crypto Investment Manager survey focuses on venture capital and hedge fund sentiment on key cryptos in the current bull cycle. As many as 76 top funds participated in the survey. At least 33% of the respondents predict that the price of Solana could surpass the $600 mark in the present cycle. Meanwhile, at least 23.2% expect the Solana price to reach the level of $600 but not beyond. However, the remaining respondents suggest that the SOL price would remain inside the range of $150 and $300 in the currency cycle.
Solana and Ethereum Expected to Outperform Bitcoin
In the last 30 days, Solana, with a gain of 49.2%, has outperformed Bitcoin (40.6%) and Ethereum (37.7%). The survey report highlights that Solana and Ethereum may outperform Bitcoin in the current cycle, pointing out SOL’s exposure to sectors like DePIN and Meme Coins.
Moreover, at least 75% of survey respondents believe that Solana could even perform better than Crypto ETFs in the present cycle.
The survey emphasises that the price of Bitcoin could reach a high range of $100K and $150K in the current cycle.
