Solana Surges 8% to $203 as Cathie Wood Compares Hyperliquid to Early-Stage SOL

Solana (SOL) stated 8% to reach $ 203.44 in the last 24 hours, while Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood Perpetual Futures Exchange Hyperliquid compared the early growth of Solana and said that it could be a project to view in the decentralized trade sector.

The price of the Cryptocurrency rose from $ 201.68 earlier today to a current price of $ 202.57 USD, which extends the restoration of recent support levels around $ 200. The trade volume has risen to $ 3.4 billion in the last 24 hours, which reflects a representation of increased investor’s interests after Wood’s comments.

Market context shows mixed signals

Solana is difficult to board with other crypto coins, which has fallen by almost 15.54% by almost 15.54% in the last 7 days. Despite today’s profit, the price of SOL has fallen by 5.88% last month, which eliminates a no less than average sum of $ 11.86 from the current value.

The broader cryptocurrency market has experienced considerable volatility, with $ 160 billion in crypto market losses that influence the sentiment of investors. The short-term prospects for Sol remain Beerarish as long as it trades below $ 200, with possible retests of $ 186- $ 181 support for October 10, 2025, if the sale continues.

Technical analysis points to critical levels

Solana Bullish looks like the weekly period. The 50-day advancing average is below the price and rising, possibly as support. The 200-day advancing average, which has been increasing since 09/03/2025, supports a persistent trend.

The most important resistance levels to view are:
– $ 174 – $ 260 reach projected for the next 30 days based on technical analysis
– A decisive closure above $ 220 would be mandatory to reverse sentiment bullish again and focus on $ 235 – $ 240
– $ 250 represents an important resistance zone where Solana has made various attempts to break above

Currently, the RSI value is 34.59, indicating that the SOL market is in a neutral position, which suggests that neither overbought nor over -sold circumstances.

Strong basic principles support the long -term growth

Defi TVL (USD) about Solana grew by 30.4% QoQ to $ 8.6 billion, which maintained its position as it was the second largest defi-ecosystem after Ethereum. More recently, Solana’s Defi TVL reached a record high of $ 13.38 billion, which represents an increase of 18% in just one week.

The activity statistics of the network remain robust:
– Daily wallet -activity was on average around 1.3 million, with a large milestone registered on January 18, 2025, with more than 2.6 million unique portfolios that have interaction in one day
– 2.61 million active addresses that enter into the network in one day
– Solana achieved an important milestone by becoming the first large blockchain that processes 100,000 TPS on its mainnet

Institutional interest rate stimulates the accumulation of the treasury

Institutional players are already taking positions. Companies such as Bit Mining, Upexi and Defi Development Corp together have more than 3.5 million SOL, worth more than $ 591 million. Traditional companies such as Upexi and Kitabo assigned $ 16.7 million and $ 5.6 million to Sol in August 2025.

From July 14 to July 20, Defi Development Corp acquired more than 141,000 SOL, with a value of almost $ 28 million. At the same time, Bitcoin Miner Bit Mining Plans revealed to collect $ 300 million to grow his SOL companies.

“It’s exciting. It reminds me of Solana in the earlier days, and Solana has proven its value and is, you know, there with the big boys,” Wood said in an interview on the Master Investor Podcast.

The public funds of Ark Invest currently have Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana as core positions, where the company also holds some derivative positions, such as Uniswap and protocols that are bound to Solana.

Wood has not announced any exposure to Hyperliquid, but noted that competition between decentralized fairs is intensifying. Her comments came shortly after Rival Dex Aster launched a token that drove his volume and open interest over Hyperliquid’s.

Outlook: important catalysts and price goals

Looking ahead, various factors can influence the price process of Solana:

The alpine glow -upgrade, expects at the end of 2025 or early 2026, will close blocks in around 150 milliseconds and simplify the consensus process of Solana. Solana’s 500K TPS throughput and $ 8.9 billion Defi TVL in H1 2025, combined with ETF approval perspectives, continue to attract institutional attention.

Price forecasts of analysts vary greatly:
– According to 7 renowned experts, Solana – price forecasts vary from 2025 from $ 200 to $ 1,000, on average $ 500
– If the market benefits the bulls, the Solana-Muntprijs could be high in its current of all time and go to a new high point of $ 400
– Solana hit $ 294.16 that was marked as his all time. The same number is expected to appear on the graphs again by the end of 2025.

Solana is ready for steady profit on the way to the end of 2025, stimulated by the increasing Defi -acceptance, NFT market activity and institutional involvement. Although the price fluctuations can persist in the short term, the perspective remains positive in the medium to long term. With a growing institutional interest and expansion of ecosystem, many traders are considering Sol for long -term portfolios.
