The broader <a href="https://xpertsstudio.com/trump-<a href="https://xpertsstudio.com/top-3-reasons-why-crypto-prices-are-up-right-now/” title=”Top 3 Reasons Why Crypto Prices Are Up Right Now”>crypto-empire-faces-scrutiny-49-saudi-linked-stake/” title=”Trump Crypto Empire Faces Scrutiny: 49% Saudi Linked Stake”>cryptocurrency market has registered a solid uptick over the past week, with Solana (SOL) standing out as one of the biggest gainers.
Ethereum briefly climbed past $2,500, prompting analysts to turn even more bullish on the asset, while Bitcoin may not be out of the woods yet.
SOL’s Pump
Solana’s native token has soared by 40% over the past week, and earlier today (August 28), it jumped to almost $110, its highest level witnessed since January this year. As of this writing, it trades at around $105 (per CoinGecko), boasting a market capitalization of roughly $61 billion.
The improved condition of the crypto sector appears to be the main catalyst for the ascent, while rising institutional interest may also be a positive factor. According to SoSoValue, spot SOL ETFs have recorded eight consecutive green days; the last time this was observed was in May 2026. Another optimistic element is the return of the whales, some of whom spent millions of dollars to re-enter SOL’s ecosystem.
Analysts on X are predominantly bullish on the asset. Daan Crypto Trades claimed that everything “looks good” as long as the price remains above $98, whereas SKYLINE argued that it is only a matter of time before SOL rises beyond $150. X user Fuel is even more optimistic, envisioning an eventual explosion to $1,000.
Meanwhile, Sweep took a cautious tone, saying that a collapse to $70 remains possible. However, “after that, Solana will go parabolic,” he added. If you are curious to check additional SOL forecasts, take a look at our video here.
What’s Next for ETH?
Several hours ago, the second-largest cryptocurrency briefly surpassed $2,500 before slightly retreating below that level. That mark seems to be a major turning point, with X user Gerla suggesting that a clean break above could mark the beginning of a new bull run.
