Solana News Today: Solana Eyes $350 by 2026 as Alpenglow Upgrade Nears Remittix Hyped as 25x Gainer Amid $19 Trillion Payments Push

Solana (SOL) is attracting renewed attention from crypto analysts who are increasingly optimistic about its long-term potential. According to recent forecasts, the token could reach $350 by 2026, driven by ongoing network improvements and growing adoption in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Currently trading at $179, Solana has rebounded sharply from the $140 low seen in July, with strong support levels holding between $175 and $180 [1]. Analysts point to the upcoming Alpenglow consensus upgrade in Q4 2025 as a key catalyst, which is expected to reduce transaction finality to under 200 milliseconds and boost throughput to 10,000 transactions per second (TPS). These upgrades are anticipated to resolve some of the scalability issues that previously constrained price projections [1].

While Solana’s price trajectory garners attention, a more speculative opportunity has emerged with Remittix, a decentralized payment protocol that is being positioned as a potential 25x gainer by next summer. Unlike many hype-driven tokens, Remittix is focusing on real-world problems—specifically, the $19 trillion global payments market. The project aims to facilitate instant crypto-to-fiat transfers across 30+ countries using real-time foreign exchange (FX) rates and flat, transparent fees. The beta version of its wallet is set to launch on September 15, offering early adopters a potential edge in accessing this new financial infrastructure [1].

Analysts highlight several key advantages of Remittix that could drive adoption and value appreciation. These include the ability to send crypto directly to bank accounts in seconds, a fee structure with no hidden charges, and the potential for exponential growth as the project onboards businesses through its API. Additionally, the team has announced that when the project raises $20M, a major centralized exchange (CEX) partner will be revealed. Historical patterns suggest that such CEX listings could trigger a 5–10x price surge [1]. At the time of writing, Remittix has already raised $18.9M, selling over 591 million RTX tokens.

Early investors also benefit from a 40% bonus token allocation, though this incentive is set to disappear once the $20M funding goal is reached. The project is still in its presale stage, and with growing institutional interest and whale activity, analysts warn that hesitation could mean missing out on a potentially significant opportunity [1].

It is worth noting that the forecasts for both Solana and Remittix are speculative. While Solana’s $350 price target by 2026 is supported by analyst predictions tied to network upgrades and broader market conditions, the 25x return for Remittix is based on the potential adoption of its payment infrastructure and the effects of a future CEX listing. Neither of these outcomes is guaranteed, and investors are urged to conduct their own due diligence before making decisions based on these price targets.
