Top Trader Predicts 45% Surge in Solana Price as SEC Gives Helium a Free Pass

by

Ah, the joys of cryptocurrency—where news can turn a stable, modest price into a roller coaster of excitement. According to a “top” crypto trader (because who else would you trust?), Solana’s price is about to embark on a majestic 45% rally. All thanks to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finally letting go of their lawsuit against Helium, a protocol happily riding on the SOL blockchain. Apparently, when the SEC says, “Never mind,” everyone else says, “Let’s make some money!”

As of now, Solana’s price is $124, showing a modest 5% gain over the past 24 hours. So if you’re not already holding Solana, hurry up! Or, you know, wait until the next rumor comes along to make your move.

SEC Drops Charges Against Helium—What a Shock!

In a truly shocking turn of events (shocking, but not really), the SEC has dropped charges against Helium. This news has set Solana’s price on fire. Helium, which migrated to the Solana blockchain in 2023, had been caught up in a legal mess, with the SEC accusing Nova Labs of violating US securities laws by issuing the HNT token. Yawn. But now? Now it’s all smiles, as the SEC has dropped the case with prejudice—meaning they can’t come back with the same old accusations. Bravo, SEC, bravo!

The lawsuit, filed in January 2025 just before Gary Gensler’s exit as SEC Chair, has now been rendered as irrelevant as the last season of your favorite show. The new, pro-crypto SEC, which sounds a bit like a friendlier version of a bouncer at a nightclub, decided to dismiss the case. So, cheers to that!

Helium’s founder even took a moment to pat himself on the back, calling the dismissal a “huge win” for Helium and other crypto projects. If this guy ever gets tired of crypto, he’s got a future as a motivational speaker.

“Putting this SEC matter behind us is a huge win for the entire Helium community, as well as other crypto projects which use hardware to build their networks.”

And yes, as you might expect, this whole debacle has also sparked some positive energy for Solana, which, in case you forgot, is the blockchain that Helium just happens to call home.

Top Trader’s Forecast: 45% Solana Price Rally to $180 (Let’s Hope They’re Right!)

Enter Ansem, a “top trader” (because the best always have mysterious, one-name personas). Ansem, clearly a man with great vision, has issued a bold prediction: Solana’s price could shoot up by 45%, landing at a cool $180. Well, that’s a nice thought, isn’t it? Just imagine a few more gains and maybe, just maybe, your crypto portfolio won’t feel like it’s made of paper.

Ansem’s chart, which looks like a piece of modern art, shows Solana bouncing between a multi-year support zone around $121. Should this zone flip, we’re in for a “bullish reversal,” or, as we like to call it, “money-making time.” If Solana can hold steady above $120 on the weekly chart, prepare for liftoff—$180 here we come!

Meanwhile, another analyst, CryptoCurb (another one-name wonder), agrees that this price rally isn’t just based on technicals. Nope, Solana’s got solid fundamentals to boot. Apparently, Solana is being “grossly underestimated” in terms of its potential to rise. Yes, really. Who knew?

“People are grossly underestimating how high Solana will go. Solana is the first blockchain that is being globally adopted at scale.”

So, if you’re wondering whether Solana will outperform Ethereum, hold onto your seat. Some people think it will get close to half of ETH‘s market cap. The SEC’s sudden love for crypto, combined with strong buying activity and, let’s face it, a bit of good old-fashioned hype, could just send Solana’s price soaring. A 45% rally seems so close, you can almost smell the digital coins.
