Solana has just achieved a major milestone 12 months of uninterrupted uptime—and this boosted confidence in its reliability and long-term growth. We’ll talk more about its network upgrades and how they could impact SOL’s price movement in a minute.
We’ll also talk about PlutoChain ($PLUTO), a next-gen Layer-2 solution that could tackle Bitcoin’s slow transactions and high fees. Could Solana surge past $350 while PlutoChain potentially transforms Bitcoin’s scalability? Let’s break it down.
Can Solana’s Latest Breakthrough Push SOL Past $350 in 2025?
At the moment, Solana is trading at around $189.23, down 2.8% in the last 24 hours. During this time, its price has ranged between $188.76 and $195.90. The 24-hour trading volume is currently around $2.18 billion.
Solana has hit a major milestone one full year of uninterrupted network uptime. Now, after 12 months of smooth operation, it’s clear that Solana has made major improvements to its infrastructure.
In late 2024, revenue from applications running on the network soared by over 200%, thanks to popular projects like Pump.fun, Photon, and Raydium. More activity on the network means more demand for SOL. Moving on to the predictions, Alex Ferraro says that Solana will either round out its current bottom or dip to $180 before surging to $400 in the next bullish move.
Sheldon The Sniper takes it even further and says that Solana will break its all-time high, with potential targets between $500 and $600 in the next rally.
PlutoChain ($PLUTO): The Layer-2 Upgrade That Could Fix Bitcoin’s Speed, Cut Fees, and Unlock New Possibilities
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency, but it’s far from perfect. Slow transactions, high fees, and congestion have made it difficult to use for everyday payments.
Waiting 10 minutes or more for a block to confirm isn’t practical, especially when fees spike due to network demand. Whether it’s microtransactions, cross-border payments, or simple transfers, Bitcoin still has major usability issues that hold it back. Fortunately, PlutoChain ($PLUTO) brings a Layer-2 solution that could process transactions off the main Bitcoin blockchain, reduce congestion, and speed up confirmations. With block times of just two seconds, Bitcoin could finally become fast enough for real-world use, which could make it easier to send money, buy goods, or settle payments instantly.
Another big advantage is lower fees. Bitcoin’s transaction costs often make small payments too expensive. PlutoChain could slash these costs and make BTC transfers more affordable for individuals and businesses. But PlutoChain isn’t just about payments. With Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, it could allow developers to build DeFi apps, NFTs, and smart contracts directly on Bitcoin’s network something that wasn’t possible before.
PlutoChain has shown it can handle heavy traffic by successfully processing over 43,200 transactions in a single day during its test phase. To prove how secure and reliable its platform is, PlutoChain has already undergone comprehensive audits from SolidProof, QuillAudits, and Assure DeFi. It also follows international regulations and undergoes routine security tests.
Beyond that, PlutoChain introduces decentralized governance and lets users propose and vote on upgrades and features.
The Bottom Line
Solana’s upgrades and growing adoption have put it in a strong position, so a move past $350 might be possible in 2025.
As Solana gains momentum, PlutoChain ($PLUTO) is working to make Bitcoin faster and more affordable. By improving transaction speed and cutting fees, it could help Bitcoin become more practical for everyday use. Both projects are pushing the blockchain industry in their own way, but PlutoChain’s innovative approach might make it the one to watch.
