Forget XRP, DFDV Exec Predicts Solana Price Is Headed For $10,000

A senior executive at DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) has delivered one of the most aggressive long-term forecasts for the Solana price yet. According to him, Solana could see its value catapult to $10,000, leaving much of the market in the dust. This outlook, shaped by recent market turbulence and years of crypto experience, has drawn attention from industry experts as the DFDV executive outlines how SOL can reach this target by capturing a significant share of the global digital value.

Solana Price To Reach $10,000 In 10 Years

DFDV COO and CIO Parker White recently shared his long-term thesis on Solana following a rough week for risk assets in the market. White argued that Solana is poised for significant growth over the next decade, as digital value transfer becomes a core pillar of the global economy.

In his view, the pressures of the past week only strengthen the case for Solana’s explosive upside potential. He emphasized that SOL is ideally positioned to capture an outsized portion of the global digital value, which he believes could propel the altcoin’s price toward the $10,000 mark. With SOL currently trading at $137 after declining by more than 25% in the past month, a surge to $10,000 would represent a massive gain of over 7,000%.

As a Solana-focused treasury company, DFDV offers a different path of exposure. White has explained that he prefers building his position through the firm rather than purchasing SOL or a Solana ETF. He described the structure of DFDV as a Digital Asset Trust (DAT) controlled by him and a group of long-time colleagues, who collectively own more than 20% of the common stock. Furthermore, he stated that this concentrated level of ownership enables DFDV to aggressively grow its Solana per share much faster than a passive ETF could achieve.

Responding to a comment questioning the purpose of such a structure, White emphasized that DFDV’s performance has already outpaced ETF alternatives. He pointed to a 32% annualized increase in Solana per share over the past three months, after accounting for operating costs, compared to the roughly 6% growth provided by ETFs after fees. For him, the long-term bet rests on achieving one SPS by late 2028—a milestone he believes could generate substantial wealth for both executives and token holders willing to endure ensuing market volatility.

Why Volatility Is Central To DFDV’s Long-Term Outlook

White made it clear in his X post that volatility is not a threat to DFDV’s model but a necessary factor. He highlighted that between now and 2028, he expects maximum volatility to flood the Solana market. He described DFDV as a volatility reactor designed to convert extreme market swings into long-term shareholder value, insisting that the firm can generate gains in both upward and downward market conditions.

For short-term traders, White advises that sharp price swings may provide opportunities to profit from rapid movements in SOL. He also stressed that long-term investors should prioritize accumulating and holding their investments, even during periods of high volatility.
