Analyst Bullish on SOL, Citing Historical Similarities to Ethereum

Independent market analyst Hansolar believes SOL could reach $600, drawing parallels between its current price movement and Ethereum’s (ETH) performance during the 2020-2021 bull run. Hansolar points out that ETH’s price surged significantly after Bitcoin reached new highs, and proposes a similar scenario for SOL, with its price potentially mirroring ETH’s historical trajectory.

He highlights that SOL is currently around 50% below its all-time high, mirroring ETH’s position before its substantial price increases in the previous cycle.

Solana Adoption Expands with Coca-Cola HBC Partnership

This collaboration utilizes NFTs on the Solana blockchain to ensure the authenticity and immutability of employee certificates within the Coca-Cola Digital Academy training program. This partnership marks another instance of Solana adoption within the Coca-Cola ecosystem, following an NFT collaboration with Coca-Cola Serbia in 2023.

Solana Price Surge Attributed to Memecoin Rally
