Solana (SOL) has seen impressive gains in 2025, with its price rising over 110% from a low of $105 in April. However, the rally has stalled below $240, hitting a significant technical resistance. Analyst Tom Tucker notes a rising wedge pattern on the daily chart, indicating potential short-term downside risk as prices approach trendline intersections.
Despite this, Solana's long-term prospects remain robust. The likelihood of spot Solana ETF approvals has surged above 90%, with filings from Bitwise, Canary, and 21Shares. The upcoming Alpenglow upgrade aims to boost network speed and transition to proof-of-stake, fueling expert predictions like Crypto Tony's $380 target. Institutional interest is growing, with over $2.25 billion USDC minted on Solana in September 2025, and stablecoin volumes shifting from Ethereum due to lower fees.
Meanwhile, Digitap ($TAP) is capturing investor attention with its omni-bank model that blends crypto and fiat. Its presale is priced at $0.0125, set to rise to $0.0159 in the next stage—a 27% increase. The project has raised nearly $175,000, and its app is already live on iOS and Android. Key features include Visa and Apple Pay integration, enabling seamless spending at millions of merchants, along with deflationary tokenomics (2 billion cap) and staking rewards up to 124% APR.
Analysts project up to 50x gains for $TAP, citing its real-world utility and adoption potential. As Solana's momentum wanes, investors are diversifying into Digitap for high-growth opportunities.
