, the native cryptocurrency of Solana, has been on investors’ radar recently.
Earlier this week, Solana’s price climbed above $200 for the first time since February 2025. According to a recent prediction from xAI’s chatbot Grok, SOL could increase fivefold and reach $1,000 by the end of the year.
Grok AI Predicts Major Rally for SOL Price
Grok, the popular AI chatbot from xAI, has made a bold prediction for Solana, stating that the SOL price could multiply 5x-10x by the year-end.
This means that SOL holds the potential to rally to $1,000-$2,000 within the next five months, setting the stage for a mega rally ahead.
This prediction comes as Solana hits five-month highs above $200 in a crucial breakout earlier this week.
Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently shows the formation of a cup-and-handle pattern on the SOL price chart, which opens the gates for the rally anywhere between $1000-$2000.

GrokAI highlights important technical upgrades in the Solana ecosystem, including the recent Alpenglow update. The prediction model suggests that approval of a Solana ETF in 2025 could increase the asset’s value by 5 to 10 times its current level.
The review process for Solana ETFs may be expedited, as the US SEC has asked all applicants to amend and resubmit their S-1 filings by the end of July.
The GrokAI prediction also highlights rising traction across DeFi and NFT sectors. It noted that Solana remains one of the most widely mentioned assets in high-engagement digital finance discussions.
