Zhu Suone of the founders of the infamous hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, recently highlighted the performance of the Grayscale Solana Trust, suggesting that this could imply the future value of Solana at $1,000 per SOL.
This projection is based on a comparison with historical performance of Ethereum and the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE), used as a reference.
Grayscale Trusts work by allowing investors to gain exposure to digital currencies through a traditional investment vehicle without the challenges of directly purchasing, storing, and holding digital assets.
Each share of the trust represents a fraction of the cryptocurrency held by the trust, and the value of the shares may trade at a premium or discount to the market value of the underlying asset.
“Every four years…”
So, four years ago, when Ethereum was trading at around $200, the Grayscale Ethereum Trust implied a value of $1,000 per ETH. This significant premium reflects strong investor confidence and expectations for future prices.

The price of Ethereum eventually caught up with these projections, seeing substantial growth over the following years. This model suggests a potential roadmap for Solana.
The comparison of Solana in the early days of Ethereum, when it was also becoming a major platform, is remarkable. If SOL follows a similar trajectory, the implied value suggested by the Grayscale Solana Trust could be realized.
While past performance is no guarantee of future results, the historical context provides a compelling narrative of Solana’s growth prospects, making the $1,000 goal a topic of interest in the community.
