SOL's recent performance has attracted a lot of attention. From a technical perspective, if it can effectively break through the key level of $143.28, the next target range is likely to be $146-$150, and there is also a possibility of reaching $152.90 before February 10 (currently about 10% gains).

Several factors support this upward movement. The Solana ecosystem has performed particularly well in the RWA (Real World Assets) sector, which already accounts for 57% of the market share, managing assets worth $873M. On the technical side, the SIMD-0266 upgrade has improved token efficiency by 98%, meaning the network's processing capacity and competitive advantage are significantly enhanced.

Looking further ahead, what might happen in a 3 to 12-month window? Optimists believe that if SOL can break through the $250 resistance level, it could attempt to reach new all-time highs by the end of this quarter, possibly even aiming for $500 by mid-year.

What drives this momentum? First, institutional participation is gradually increasing. Some analysts estimate that if just 1% of US stock trading volume flows into Solana, it could generate approximately $9B in annual fee revenue for the network. Second, the entire ecosystem is experiencing rapid growth in projects across NFT, DeFi, and gaming sectors, and this prosperity itself is a strong reason for long-term optimism.

SOL is really getting anxious, constantly claiming $500, but it's better to first stabilize above $150 before talking.

According to the white paper, the 57% RWA market share figure needs to be carefully examined. What are the assumptions behind this premise? Governance proposals indicate that there are still many tokens in this ecosystem that haven't truly participated in governance... It's worth noting that the $500 target sounds appealing, but from a token economics perspective, the incentive mechanisms are not yet fully aligned. Do you think this can be achieved?

The indicators are all here, but the key still depends on whether institutions are really putting their money where their mouth is. No matter how loud the calls for positive news are, it's all in vain if they don't follow through.

Wait, RWA accounts for 57%? Where is this data from? It seems a bit questionable.

SOL this wave is a bit interesting, but I'm just worried it might be another case of impressive-looking on paper but useless in reality. --- RWA accounting for 57% of the market share sounds impressive, but how much real money is actually involved? --- $500? Dream on, buddy. Let's talk after surpassing $250 first. --- The narrative that institutions are entering the market is getting old. If they really entered, we wouldn't need analysts to tell us. --- That efficiency boost from SIMD upgrade—can it withstand BTC's traffic pressure? That's the real question. --- It's always about technical good news, ecological prosperity, institutional entry, then a black swan appears and everything is gone. Better to wait for the wind to come.
