Standard Chartered Says Solana Could More Than Double to $250 by December. It is $121.

Standard Chartered just set an ambitious price target for Solana, but the token has barely moved since the forecast was made months ago, raising serious questions about whether the bank's broader predictions deserve any credibility at all.

Standard Chartered predicts that Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) will reach $250 by the end of 2026. This projection means the cryptocurrency must more than double its current value of around $121 as of October 5, 2026. This price is almost the same as where it stood on February 3, when Geoff Kendrick from the bank revised his year-end target from $310.

Since that announcement, Solana has not made significant progress toward the $250 goal. The token has risen about 18% in the past month but remains 59% below its record high of $293, reached in January 2025. Meanwhile, Standard Chartered’s long-term forecast extends to $2,000 by 2030.

Standard Chartered Cut Its 2026 Solana Target From $310 to $250

In February, Standard Chartered lowered its 2026 Solana target from $310 to $250. Kendrick made this adjustment because Solana appeared less attractive based on the bank’s model, which compares a network’s market value with the economic activity on it. Despite lowering the 2026 target, he raised targets for subsequent years and introduced a new one for 2030.
