Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) needs to climb 138% from around $124 to regain its all-time high of $295, which was reached on January 19, 2025. Recent months have reignited discussions among holders, as Solana has risen 16.3% over the past month. This rally has narrowed Solana’s 2026 loss to just 2.7%, bringing the coin close to even for the year, yet it remains far from its former glory.

A Return to $295 Puts Solana’s Value at $173 Billion, Above Its Peak

Currently, Solana’s market cap—calculated by multiplying its price by the 588 million SOL tokens in circulation—stands at roughly $72.8 billion. To reach $295, Solana’s market cap would need to rise to about $173 billion. This compares to the roughly $140 billion market cap it commanded during its peak. A key factor here is that Solana pays its validators in newly minted tokens, and locked tokens continue to unlock over time.
