Solana (SOL) had a parabolic run in Q4 2023, with coin price jumping from around $20 to over $100. As a result, investors are wondering – am I too late to invest now? What could my returns be if I invest $1,000 in SOL today and hold until 2025?

Let’s run some numbers to find out.

Current SOL Price: $101.73 Current Market Capitalization: $44 billion

I evaluated two price growth scenarios for SOL:

  1. SOL reclaiming its own all-time high (ATH) market cap of $77 billion

  2. SOL reaching the ATH market cap that Ethereum (ETH) achieved in the previous bull market peak ($572 billion)

Here is what a $1,000 investment in SOL today might grow to in each scenario, if held until 2025:

  • Scenario 1: SOL Price: $178 Investment Value: $1,754 (a 75% return)

  • Scenario 2: SOL Price: $1,315 Investment Value: $12,919 (a 1,192% return)

As you can see, if SOL climbs anywhere near Ethereum’s previous market cap, the returns would be truly spectacular.

Of course this analysis makes some optimistic assumptions. Mass adoption is never guaranteed, and regulatory risks or new competition could hamper growth.

However, as SOL continues cementing itself as Ethereum’s chief competitor, its market cap expanding 10x or more from today’s levels seems feasible over a multi-year timeframe.

So if you have the patience and risk tolerance, SOL could massively multiply an investment made today. Despite the recent price surge, $1,000 invested now might make you quite well off by 2025!
