Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this investment to be high risk.
What are the key risks?
1. You could lose all the money you invest
The performance of most cryptoassets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in cryptoassets.
The cryptoasset market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money or any cryptoassets you purchase due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and firm failure.
2. You should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) doesn't protect this type of investment because it's not a 'specified investment' under the UK regulatory regime – in other words, this type of investment isn't recognised as the sort of investment that the FSCS can protect. Learn more by using the FSCS investment protection checker.
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will not be able to consider complaints related to this firm or Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance. If you have a complaint against an FCA regulated firm, FOS may be able to consider it. Learn more about FOS protection here.
3. You may not be able to sell your investment when you want to
There is no guarantee that investments in cryptoassets can be easily sold at any given time. The ability to sell a cryptoasset depends on various factors, including the supply and demand in the market at that time.
Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks and comingling of funds could cause unwanted delay and you may be unable to sell your cryptoassets at the time you want.
4. Cryptoasset investments can be complex
Investments in cryptoassets can be complex, making it difficult to understand the risks associated with the investment.
You should do your own research before investing. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
5. Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well.
A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.

On average, our panellists think SOL will be worth $394.55 by the end of 2025 before rising to $1,027.27 by 2030 and $2,207.27 by 2035.
Key Insights
2025 price forecast: The average year-end prediction for SOL is $394.55.
Long-term projections: The panel sees solana reaching new heights and hitting $1,027.27 in 2030 and $2,207.27 by 2035.
SOL underpriced: Over half of the panel (56%) say SOL is undervalued.
SOL is a strong buy: The majority of the panel (67%) say it’s time to buy SOL.
Solana (SOL) price predictions for 2025, 2030 and 2035
Our panellists think SOL will be worth an average of $394.55 by year-end 2025, 104% higher than the asset’s price of $193.87 at the start of 2025.
Our panellists also predict that SOL will rise to $1,027.27 by year-end 2030 and $2,207.27 by year-end 2035.
Johnny Gabriele, the head analyst of blockchain economics and AI integration at the Lifted Initiative, is bullish on SOL’s potential in 2025, giving the highest prediction in the panel at $1,000 based on “the strength of its [solana’s] community.”
Joseph Raczynski, a futurist for JT Consulting and Media, also sees SOL having a strong 2025, preciting SOL could go as high as $500 and should stand the test of time.
Solana has a huge following, the second coming of ethereum. It’s easy to use but also very centralised. As people sort out which is more important, SOL should be around for a long time — but will be used for specific use cases like memecoins and low-tier NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
Ben Ritchie, MD at Alpha Node Global, is similarly bullish with a prediction of $500, even going so far as to say that his prediction of $500 is conservative.
Solana is fast and cheap, which is suitable for the mass network participants. Our $500 estimate is conservative because demand can push this higher, especially during memes, gaming and NFT hypes. These hype cycles will impact the valuation and volatility of solana.
Josh Fraser, the co-founder of Origin Protocol, gives one of the lower predictions at $240, saying that it will suffer at the hands of ethereum and those of its ilk.
Solana will continue to perform well alongside the broader crypto market. Its growing adoption and utility make it a standout player for 2025. However, its long-term potential may suffer from competitors like ethereum and Layer 2 solutions.
Is now the time to buy, hold or sell SOL?
The majority of the panel (67%) say SOL is a buy in 2025. A further quarter (25%) say you should hodl, with just 8% advising that it’s time to sell.
In the buy camp is Jeremy Britton, the CFO of BostonTrading.co, based on SOL’s utility.
SOL is a coin that has a purpose and utility. Like ETH before it and oil or silver before that, the price will continue to rise until a viable alternative emerges.
Gracy Chen, the CEO of Bitget, also sees SOL as a buy and is cautiously optimistic about its price going forward.
SOL’s ecosystem is expanding with DeFi and NFT growth, supporting a bullish outlook — although current analyses show a mix of signals with a price around $217.99, hinting at cautious optimism for future price movements.
Ruadhan O, the founder of Seasonal Tokens, is bullish on SOL, saying it’s a buy in 2025 and says a possible ETF (exchange-traded fund) could see SOL outperform the rest of the market.
In 2025, solana’s price is likely to increase along with the bitcoin price and the broader market, but an ETF approval could result in solana outperforming the rest of the market. The new quantum-resistant Winternitz Vault could be attractive to investors worried about the pace of advancement of quantum computing, possibly resulting in upward price pressure.
Do you think SOL is currently overpriced, underpriced or priced fairly?
The panel thinks SOL has a lot of potential in 2025, with 56% saying the token is undervalued. A little over a quarter of the panel (28%) say SOL is fairly priced, and just 16% say it’s overpriced.
Sathvik Vishwanath, the CEO of Unocoin, says SOL is currently undervalued.
Solana’s ultra-fast transaction speeds, low fees and robust ecosystem for NFTs and DeFi position it as a strong competitor to ethereum. Its innovative consensus mechanism (Proof of History) enhances scalability, making it a go-to choice for developers.
Market sentiment is positive, with expectations of significant growth based on perceived undervaluation and developments like the VanEck ETF filing. SOL's ecosystem is expanding with DeFi and NFT growth, supporting a bullish outlook — although current analyses show a mix of signals with a price around $217.99, hinting at cautious optimism for future price movements.

Trump's victory, growing influence of Musk and talk of a bitcoin reserve should make bitcoin and doge more attractive than other crypto and so drive down their price. In the past, there has been a strong correlation between the price of bitcoin and that of other coins, but this may not hold.
