Solana hits a record $12.11B in DeFi TVL while BNB surges past $900. Analysts say both altcoins could break price records by year-end. Here’s why.

Solana and BNB move towards new high.
Two of crypto’s largest altcoins are making headlines. Solana (SOL) just set a new all-time high for Total Value Locked (TVL) across its DeFi ecosystem. At the same time, Binance Coin (BNB) surged past $900, reaching a new price record. Together, these milestones suggest growing investor confidence across the altcoin market.
On September 9, 2025, Solana’s TVL hit $12.11 billion, surpassing its previous high from January. This growth has been driven by several top-performing DeFi protocols:
Other protocols like Sanctum, Raydium, Marinade, and Drift also posted strong monthly gains.
Institutional interest is helping accelerate this momentum. Multiple firms are now allocating to Solana through treasury strategies, and others are preparing regulated ETF and staking products tied to SOL. While still pending approvals, these products show a rising demand from larger players.
Solana’s token hasn’t yet regained its earlier 2025 high of $293.31. However, the outlook appears more optimistic than it did just weeks ago. Prediction markets suggest rising odds for a new price peak by year-end.
Three factors are driving this shift:
As of now, the probability of Solana hitting a new all-time high has risen from under 40% to around 57%, based on platforms like Myriad.
Still, resistance between $200 and $240 remains a challenge. External market factors could also impact the rally’s pace.
On September 10, 2025, BNB reached $907.38, marking a new all-time high. It’s up nearly 30% year-to-date, with over 190% growth since 2024.
This move is supported by multiple forces:
Binance has partnered with Franklin Templeton, a $1.6 trillion asset manager. The two are working on regulated tokenization products. This adds strong validation for BNB and Binance’s infrastructure.
Lower-than-expected inflation data has lifted appetite for risk assets. Crypto, especially large caps like BNB, is seeing renewed inflows as a result.
BNB cleared heavy resistance near $880. With trading volume increasing and short positions stacked between $900–$1,000, analysts now see room for a potential short squeeze.
Several analysts believe that $1,000 is the next logical milestone. Continued strength in macro and market momentum could push the price further.
More aggressive forecasts suggest $1,200 or higher in the coming months. However, risks still exist:
Both Solana and BNB have shown great strength moving towards their new high and as Q4 begins, investors will be watching closely.
Solana’s record-breaking TVL and BNB’s price breakout show that altcoins are gaining real traction again. Both ecosystems have benefited from real utility, rising institutional involvement, and technical strength.
