Spot SOL ETFs have proven the institutional play of choice, attracting $510 million in a testament to bullish Solana price predictions.
TradFi markets can’t get enough of the altcoin.
The introduction of four new ETF offerings during last week’s trading period has only amplified demand, with inflows doubling to over $128 million after tapering the week prior.

Even as the Solana price finds itself in a similar position below $130, it circumvents Bitcoin’s typical role as a safeguard against volatility, often felt hardest among altcoins.
While early SOL ETF inflows could be attributed to debut FOMO, holders’ commitment to their bags, and continued demand reflect real adoption.
Smart money typically moves strategically, and the choice to accumulate Solana over Bitcoin could suggest this cycle’s altcoin season peak may not have been realised just yet.
Solana Price Prediction: What Do Institutions Know?
Institutions are positioning as the Solana price converges on the apex of a descending triangle pattern formed along a proven launchpad level at $120.
The $120 demand zone has marked bottoms since early 2024, and momentum indicators point to a potential local bottom.

While the MACD is yet to reflect a bullish shift, its fall below the signal line is slowing, a potential early signal of a bottom forming and a trend shift.
With a decisive bounce from $120, the key breakout threshold to watch is a past resistance zone around $205.
With this level as higher and stronger support, a fully realised triangle breakout sets a potential $500 target for a 290% gain, though this likely hinges on retail participation as well as institutions.
And as the bull market matures, with ETF inflows showing sticky, long-term accumulation and inclusion on mainstream balance sheets, the Solana price could push 590% to $1,000.
Maxi Doge: The Next Big Breakout Play?
The institutional accumulation of Solana stands as a sign that the bull market is not over yet.
Its final leg is always the biggest, and with it, the meme coin scene often sees parabolic momentum.
And every bull run eventually delivers its own Doge-themed runner. Shiba Inu carried the torch from Dogecoin in 2021, then Floki, Bonk, Dogwifhat, and most recently, Neiro in 2024.
For 2025, imminent spot DOGE ETFs and the DOGE-1 lunar mission are creating the perfect social catalyst for a new frontrunner, and speculators are eyeing Maxi Doge ($MAXI) as the next moonshot.
The hype is already showing in the numbers. The $MAXI presale has raised almost $4.2 million, while early backers are earning up to 73% APY through staking rewards.
For those who missed the Doge wave before, Maxi Doge could be the next chance to catch a meme coin breakout before it takes off.
