Solana’s SOL Falls 8% to $147 Despite Standard Chartered’s $275 Year-End Target

Solana’s SOL SOL dropped 7.87% to $147.07 over the past 24 hours, as traders reacted to renewed volatility across crypto markets. After opening at $159.60, SOL fell sharply during late Thursday and early Friday trading, reaching a low of $142.13 before stabilizing above the $147 mark. Key intraday volume spikes suggest some accumulation near support, but the overall structure remains fragile as the token trades nearly 40% below its March highs.
The short-term weakness puts added focus on a late-May price target from Standard Chartered’s Global Research team. In a May 27 note initiating formal coverage of SOL, the bank forecast that Solana would rise to $275 by year-end, with a long-term target of $500 by 2029. The report cited Solana’s speed and efficiency as core differentiators but acknowledged that much of its recent meme-coin-driven activity remains heavily discounted by the market.
The growing gap between that bullish outlook and current market conditions illustrates the core dilemma facing long-term SOL investors: whether to treat recent drawdowns as temporary noise or as fundamental rejection of the growth narrative. While Standard Chartered expected solana to underperform ether in the near term, it positioned the token as a high-beta bet on retail-driven ecosystems that could re-rate sharply if adoption expands beyond memecoins.
For now, price action remains choppy, with buyers stepping in near $143 but meeting resistance near $150. Whether SOL can regain upside traction in time to validate even a portion of the year-end forecast may depend on broader macro stabilization and renewed on-chain activity in the coming weeks.
Technical Analysis Highlights
- SOL dropped 11.87% intraday, from $160.49 to a low of $142.13.
- Intense selling occurred between 23:00–01:00 UTC before price stabilized.
- A tight consolidation range formed between $143.50–$146.50.
- Higher lows since 02:00 suggest possible bullish divergence.
- Volume peaked at 13:31 (31.8K SOL) and 13:39 (43.4K SOL) as buyers defended support.
- Resistance sits at $152; a break above could shift short-term trend.

Crypto Trading Firm Keyrock Buys Luxembourg’s Turing Capital in Asset Management Push

Crypto trading firm Keyrock said it’s expanding into asset and wealth management by acquiring Turing Capital, a Luxembourg-registered alternative investment fund manager.
The deal, announced on Tuesday, marks the launch of Keyrock’s Asset and Wealth Management division, a new business unit dedicated to institutional clients and private investors.
Keyrock, founded in Brussels, Belgium and best known for its work in market making, options and OTC trading, said it will fold Turing Capital’s investment strategies and Luxembourg fund management structure into its wider platform. The division will be led by Turing Capital co-founder Jorge Schnura, who joins Keyrock’s executive committee as president of the unit.
The company said the expansion will allow it to provide services across the full lifecycle of digital assets, from liquidity provision to long-term investment strategies. «In the near future, all assets will live onchain,» Schnura said, noting that the merger positions the group to capture opportunities as traditional financial products migrate to blockchain rails.
Keyrock has also applied for regulatory approval under the EU’s crypto framework MiCA through a filing with Liechtenstein’s financial regulator. If approved, the firm plans to offer portfolio management and advisory services, aiming to compete directly with traditional asset managers as well as crypto-native players.
«Today’s launch sets the stage for our longer-term ambition: bringing asset management on-chain in a way that truly meets institutional standards,» Keyrock CSO Juan David Mendieta said in a statement.

Gemini Shares Slide 6%, Extending Post-IPO Slump to 24%

Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has seen its shares tumble by more than 20% since listing on the Nasdaq last Friday.
The stock is down around 6% on Tuesday, trading at $30.42, and has dropped nearly 24% over the past week. The sharp decline follows an initial surge after the company raised $425 million in its IPO, pricing shares at $28 and valuing the firm at $3.3 billion before trading began.
On its first day, GEMI spiked to $45.89 before closing at $32 — a 14% premium to its offer price. But since hitting that high, shares have plunged more than 34%, erasing most of the early enthusiasm from public market investors.
The broader crypto equity market has remained more stable. Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is flat over the past week. Robinhood (HOOD), which derives part of its revenue from crypto, is down 3%. Token issuer Circle (CRCL), on the other hand, is up 13% over the same period.
Part of the pressure on Gemini’s stock may stem from its financials. The company posted a $283 million net loss in the first half of 2025, following a $159 million loss in all of 2024. Despite raising fresh capital, the numbers suggest the business is still far from turning a profit.
Compass Point analyst Ed Engel noted that GEMI is currently trading at 26 times its annualized first-half revenue. That multiple — often used to gauge whether a stock is expensive — means investors are paying 26 dollars for every dollar the company is expected to generate in sales this year. For a loss-making company in a volatile sector, that’s a steep price, and could be fueling investor skepticism.
