The recent crash was hard on most cryptocurrencies, and Solana (SOL) has been no exception. The crypto coin slipped down the charts as fear gripped the market.

As one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies of 2023 and 2024, Solana is a top favourite.

Can the SOL price break $300 this year? Or is it better to diversify portfolios to accommodate trending new cryptos? Here is a detailed look.

Solana price analysis

Even after the recent downturn, Solana has registered an annual gain above 500 percent. It is far ahead of other high-cap assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. For a better perspective, Bitcoin has been able to gain 100 percent in a year, whereas it has gone down to 30 percent for Ethereum.

When it comes to XRP, things are worse. It has recorded an embarrassing 16% loss this year, despite the post-halving rally.

The SOL price is trading slightly below $150 at the time of writing. It currently occupies the fifth position on the global crypto chart, with a massive market cap of around $71 billion.

At the beginning of the year, Solana was selling at just $100. The coin’s journey this year has been positive, especially when we compare it to some other top altcoins. However, it’s interesting to note that Solana is still over 40% down from its all-time high of $260, which was recorded in November 2021.

Like most cryptocurrencies, Solana was deeply impacted by the drawn-out crypto winter of 2021 and 2022. However, in 2023 and 2024, Solana is one of the top choices for crypto traders.

A promising trajectory ahead

The broader market is predicted to recover over the next few weeks. That explains why strategic investors are using this as a chance to buy into top altcoins at low prices. The crypto fear and greed index is turning green, since the root of the recent crash is external.

The optimistic data from the United States service sector and anticipated higher rate cuts in September have encouraged investors to plough money into the crypto industry. They mitigate concerns of an economic slump.

With BTC predicted to climb to $100K towards the end of the year, Solana is looking at a bright journey ahead. A key factor behind Solana’s success is Solana meme coin mania. BONK and Dogwifhat pioneered the trend in the first half of January, and it continues undeterred. The Solana tag adds to the viral appeal of a new meme coin.

Can Solana touch $300? SOL price forecast

Solana is one of the most promising altcoins in the high-cap category. However, anything more than a two-digit ROI is a wildly ambitious target for SOL. If the broader market recovers as predicted, the best that SOL can target is $260 while $300 is an even more ambitious target.

If more Solana meme coins enter the spotlight and the ecosystem continues to expand, SOL has the potential to reclaim its all-time high. With its market cap already at $70 billion, Solana has limited room for growth.

Solana doesn’t have much to offer to investors looking for multifold gains this year. That turns the attention to new cryptocurrencies like Crypto All-Stars.

Crypto All-Stars–A multi-token, multichain staking protocol

Meme coins are one of the hottest crypto sectors. What if a crypto could maximise the returns from the whole meme coin portfolio? That’s what Crypto All-Stars ($STARS) brilliantly does with its multichain, multi-token staking protocol called MemeVault.

Here, investors can lock their favourite meme coins to earn attractive staking rewards in $STARS tokens. The staking protocol adds to the appeal of meme coin investments in general.

The white paper lists 12 meme coins compatible with the staking protocol. They are brought under one umbrella to streamline meme coin investments. MemeVault is set to launch in the third phase of the roadmap, following the presale and the token listing.
700_image1Spotlight WireMemeVault is the first unified staking protocol that allows for multi-token staking. For the same reason, Crypto All-Stars shows high growth potential this year in both meme coin and altcoin categories.

If the presale FOMO is any sign, the token is off to a great start. A series of bull runs are expected in the weeks that follow the $STARS debut launch. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the token enter the top-5 list of meme coins toward the end of the year.

Since the platform is heavily audited by SolidProof, early investors are not burdened by security concerns. The proactive measure goes on to establish the credibility of the project early on. Top crypto analysis platforms like 99Bitcoins (709K subscribers) have been featuring Crypto All-Stars for its incredible earning potential.

Is it too late to buy $STARS?

$STARS is one of the most-awaited new crypto coins of this season. The presale offers the best gateway into the project for early backers. The attractive presale discounts and staking APYs (5000 percent in the beginning) make it an opportunity to not miss.

As more people stake, the APY will gradually decrease, while the presale price increases with each new stage. Although it is not too late to buy $STARS, investors should act early for the best presale deals.
