- Elon Musk’s DOGE-Solana rumors ignite speculation: 2025 surge possible if blockchain integration mirrors 2021 DOGE rally.
- Grayscale’s SOL ETF demand rises alongside SEC shifts, positioning Solana for 2025 regulatory and institutional breakthroughs.
Recent speculation suggests Elon Musk may integrate Solana’s blockchain into his initiatives involving Dogecoin (DOGE). This follows heightened attention on Solana after former U.S. President Donald Trump’s team selected the network to launch the TRUMP memecoin.
While Musk has not confirmed specifics, the pattern of high-profile endorsements raises questions about Solana’s role in upcoming projects.
Solana’s recent price fluctuations highlight its volatility. After Trump’s TRUMP token launch on June 18, SOL surged 19%, reaching a record high. However, within days, its value dropped 16%, with technical indicators like the MACD suggesting a bearish trend.
A 10% decline in 24 hours outpaced losses seen in comparable assets, pointing to rapid profit-taking. Despite this, SOL remains 31% above its previous support level, reflecting residual confidence among investors.
The TRUMP token’s launch temporarily lifted Solana past 200, generating 33 billion in daily trading volume—a network record. Though short-lived, the event demonstrated Solana’s capacity to handle large-scale activity.
ETHNews analysts now watch Musk’s next steps, recalling how his 2021 endorsements propelled DOGE’s value upward by over 1,000%. If Musk adopts Solana, similar effects could emerge by 2025.
Political developments further shape this narrative
Trump’s recent pro-crypto stance, including proposals to eliminate capital gains taxes on digital assets, has blurred traditional boundaries between blockchain and policy. Regulatory shifts, such as potential SEC adjustments to crypto oversight, may also influence Solana’s trajectory.
Meanwhile, Musk’s exploration of blockchain for DOGE-related functions —payment systems, data security, and fund tracking—aligns with Solana’s technical strengths.

Solana’s architecture enables rapid transaction processing and robust encryption, advantages that have solidified its position in decentralized trading. Cross-chain compatibility initiatives and rising institutional interest, including Grayscale’s push for a SOL-focused ETF , add momentum. Combined with regulatory tailwinds, these factors position Solana as a contender for major projects.

The current price of Solana (SOL) is $234.49 USD, reflecting a decline of -8.38% in the past 24 hours and a -8.71% drop over the last 7 days. This recent downward trend comes despite Solana’s status as one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies, ranking 5th in market capitalization, which now stands at $114,135,422,790 USD.
Solana’s trading activity remains robust, with a 24-hour trading volume of $11,109,486,796 USD, marking a significant 132.60% increase in trading activity compared to the previous day.
This could suggest heightened interest in the blockchain , possibly driven by speculative movements or shifts in investor sentiment. The circulating supply of SOL is 490 million tokens, while its total supply is approximately 592.9 million tokens.
