Recent weeks have been turbulent in the cryptocurrency market, and Solana (SOL) wasn’t spared the turmoil as it collapsed 55.25% from January 19 highs at $284.85 to February 27 lows at $127.47, only to recover marginally to $161.54 by press time on March 3.
Much like the downturn was triggered by external economic uncertainty emerging from President Donald Trump’s trade war, inflation data, and geopolitical concerns, the more recent upsurge can be traced back to the weekend cryptocurrency reserve announcement.
Under the circumstances and given the possible tailwinds emerging from SOL’s inclusion in the reserve, Finbold consulted the advanced artificial intelligence (AI) of OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4o on where the token might stand at the end of 2025.

ChatGPT-4o sets Solana price target for December 31, 2025
Though ChatGPT quickly assessed Solana positively, its research, reasoning, and recommendations proved somewhat lackluster.
Specifically, its initial price target for December 31 – set at $300 for an 85.71% upside from press time – was based on the assumption that the Bitcoin (BTC) halving has yet to take place.
Still, in its explanation, ChatGPT proved it is counting the months from the actual halving to historical market peaks correctly despite believing April 2024 is in the future.
Indeed, it not only settled for the $300 price target due to factors more directly related to Solana, such as technological advancements, market positioning, institutional adoption, and broader trends, but it also gave the forecast due to December 31 being in the 12-18 month post-halving window.
The confusion, however, emerged once again when the AI was asked when SOL would see its cycle high. ChatGPT estimated that the plateau – set between $500 and $700 – would come either in late 2025 or early 2026, with the indication pointing toward the later period due to the December 31 forecast.
Such a setup did not prevent the platform from stating that 2025 would be the optimal exit year due to the crypto market being likely to head back toward a bear market in the later months of 2026.
ChatGPT revises its 2025 SOL price target
Finally, a secondary prompt revealed that ChatGPT’s research was deficient, despite the AI being instructed to verify up-to-date information from the very start. Specifically, the model admitted it hadn’t accounted for the digital assets reserve announcement and Solana’s inclusion in the program.
Still, SOL bulls hoping for greater gains might welcome the revised forecasts – if they find it credible – as ChatGPT revised its December 31 price target upward to the $500 to $700 range.
If the AI is proven correct, a $1,000 Solana investment made at press time on March 3 could appreciate to between $3,095.21 and $4,333.29 before the year is over.
