Can Solana Reach $300 by May? Analysts Also Name Top Alternative Buys Including Lightchain AI

With renewed excitement around major altcoins, Solana (SOL) is back in the spotlight! After bouncing back impressively from its 2024 lows, the big question on everyone's mind is: Can Solana realistically hit $300 by May? 

Some analysts are optimistic, while others think SOL’s gains might already be baked in. Either way, investors are starting to look beyond Solana—and one rising star is stealing the show: 

Lightchain AI Currently in presale at just $0.007125, it’s already raised over $20.3 million and is being celebrated as a next-generation platform with serious 100x+ potential.

Solana’s Surge - What Would It Take to Hit $300?

As of May 12th, 2025, Solana (SOL) is trading at around $172.91 with major resistance at $153 and $180 blocking its way towards $300.

It can potentially set in motion a bull trend towards $205 and, ultimately, $300, especially if history repeats itself, analysts said. The recent developments, including large staking volumes, are increasing confidence in the network and is the reason why Solana are higher than Ethereum in this respect.

Furthermore, the RSI has bounced back from over 50, indicating increasing bullish momentum. Rising institutional demand and whale purchases also validate these bullish views. Though the path is difficult, all these elements point towards very good upside potential.

Lightchain AI - Undervalued Play with Real Upside

Priced at just $0.007125 and with over $20.3 million already raised, it has captured the attention of investors eager to explore the next wave of transformative technology.

By combining blockchain and AI, Lightchain AI presents a unique investment opportunity in cutting-edge innovation, positioning itself as more than just another cryptocurrency.

Lightchain AI’s architecture integrates advanced blockchain and AI technologies to create a decentralized platform optimized for AI workloads.

How Do They Compare on Growth Potential?

Metric	Solana (SOL)	Lightchain AI (LCAI)
Current Price	~$130+	$0.007125 (presale)
Market Cap Tier	Large Cap	Early-Stage Presale
Recent Price Growth	~2x in 6 months	$20M+ raised from $0 launch
2x Potential?	Challenging	Highly Likely
100x Potential?	Unrealistic	Very Realistic

Verdict: If Solana 2x’s, it’s a win. But if Lightchain AI hits just mid-cap status, early investors could see returns in the 50x–100x range.
