AI Price Prediction: Grok Prices Solana, Cardano and Litecoin for 2028. Which Gains the Most?

Grok, the AI model built by xAI, has forecast bear, base, and bull prices for Solana (CRYPTO:SOL), Cardano (CRYPTO:ADA), and Litecoin (CRYPTO:LTC) by the end of 2028. In Grok’s base scenario, all three finish higher, and Cardano gets the highest potential gain. Grok also names it the coin most likely to end 2028 below where it trades now.

All three coins face a weak market. Solana trades around $85, down 20.7% in the past month after closing as high as $107 on October 21. Cardano trades around 18 cents after a 24.4% decline, while Litecoin trades near $51 after a 16.6% drop. So which could gain the most by 2028, and what needs to happen first?

Grok’s 2028 Numbers Rank Cardano First, With Solana Close Behind

Grok based its end-of-2028 predictions on this morning’s prices.

The midpoints of Grok’s base ranges are about $155 for Solana, 33 cents for Cardano, and $85 for Litecoin. Cardano is ranked first because it starts furthest below its all-time high. Cardano trades 94.3% below its peak of $3.09 reached in September 2021, while Litecoin is down 87.5% from its high of $410, and Solana is 71% below its peak of $293 in January 2025.

Supply makes Solana’s target harder to reach. Its supply is unlimited, and new coins keep arriving through staking rewards paid to holders who lock up coins to support the network. About 591 million SOL are in circulation, out of 637 million. So Solana’s market cap, price times circulating supply, would need to grow faster than its price for SOL to reach $155.

Solana’s market cap is about $50.3 billion, the seventh-largest in crypto, and its fully diluted value, if every coin circulated, is about $54.2 billion. Cardano has 37.6 billion of its maximum 45 billion coins in circulation, and Litecoin has 77.8 million of its 84 million maximum, so Litecoin faces the least new supply.

Base Scenarios Depend on ETF Flows, Staking, and a Treasury Buyer

On November 10, spot Solana ETFs, funds that hold actual SOL and trade on U.S. exchanges, posted a net outflow of $13.4 million. For Grok’s base forecast to hold, these outflows need to reverse into net inflows of $200 million to $300 million within the next 12 to 18 months.

Grok points to two sources of support: new Solana access at Charles Schwab and Forward Industries (NASDAQ:FORD), which held 8.73 million SOL, about $742 million, according to an SEC filing on November 10.

According to Grok, Cardano lacks the ETF products, institutional access, and large treasury holders that Solana and Litecoin have. Its base scenario relies on steady staking and a yield near 3% as network activity stabilizes. That yield is what separates Cardano from XRP for income-seeking investors. However, Cardano fell harder than XRP over the past month, and it posted its 30-day low close of 17 cents on November 10.

Litecoin’s outlook hinges on crypto treasury companies, listed firms that hold a coin like LTC as a core asset. Lite Strategy (NASDAQ:LITS) reported holding 751,798 LTC, worth approximately $38 million, on November 10. Grok’s base scenario needs the company to keep or increase that holding. Litecoin has outperformed Bitcoin at times and is up 13.6% over 90 days.

Solana, Cardano and Litecoin 2028 Price Questions

How Much Will One Solana Be Worth in 2028?

Grok estimates SOL could trade between $140 and $170 by the end of 2028. Even its $250 to $290 bull range stays under the $293 all-time high, a gap our look at Solana after its big drop covers. Grok gives Solana the best chance to set a new all-time high by the end of 2028, at 12% to 15%, compared with 6% to 8% for Litecoin and 4% to 6% for Cardano.

Will Cardano Ever Recover?

Grok’s base range of 28 to 38 cents represents a recovery from 18 cents but falls far short of the $3.09 peak. Grok still labels Cardano the coin most likely to end 2028 lower than its current price, due to its steep drop over the past month and its distance from its high. Our look at what 10,000 ADA could be worth by 2030 runs the longer numbers.

Will Litecoin Ever Come Back?

Grok’s base scenario has Litecoin rising to $75 to $95, a recovery from $51. However, even its $160 to $200 bull range leaves Litecoin far below its all-time high of $410.

Which Coin Could Gain the Most by the End of 2028?

On Grok’s numbers, Cardano could gain the most, but only if its staking base holds and its slide ends before 2027 begins. For Cardano holders, the key level is the 200-day moving average near 21 cents, about 18% higher. If ADA reclaims this level and stays above it heading into 2027, the projected 88% gain looks reachable.

If Cardano’s slide continues, Solana is the stronger candidate and more likely to deliver its expected gain. Its ETFs would first need net inflows; then SOL would need to close above its 200-day average near $89, about 5% higher, and its 50-day average near $106, about 25% higher. If Solana ETFs keep posting outflows through mid-2027 and SOL stays below $89, Grok’s bear range of $35 to $45 could come into view.
