Overview

Standard Chartered reframed its Solana outlook as a transition story: near-term expectations were trimmed while the longer-term thesis was reinforced. The bank’s research argues Solana’s low-fee design could make it a leading venue for micropayments, but that the buildout and scaling of those use cases may take years—leaving room for downside before a potential multi-year expansion in activity and valuation.
