Solana (SOL) is being talked about more than Ethereum for the big rally expected in the last months of 2025.
At this point, many top analysts are saying that SOL is poised for a big rally and that everything is ready for the Solana season.
One of them was renowned cryptocurrency analyst Scott Melker, known in the cryptocurrency community as Wolf of All Streets, who argued in an analysis shared on his X account that Solana could return to the spotlight after months of silence.
The analyst said the final quarter of 2025 could be exciting for Solana, and SOL is poised for a major rally in the coming weeks.
Melker noted that Solana has lagged behind Bitcoin and Ethereum, but positive developments behind the scenes have put SOL in an excellent position for upward momentum. He said the three main narratives that could fuel Solana’s rise are the network’s transaction speed advantages, growing treasury initiatives, and potential ETF inflows.

At this point, Solana futures open interest increased by approximately 25 percent in three days, while Solana DeFi TVL also reached an all-time high, with each of the eight protocols exceeding $1 billion for the first time.
