The post After 70% Price Crash, Sonic Rewrites Tokenomics for 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins When Sonic Labs relaunched the Fantom Opera network as the Sonic blockchain late last year, the move was meant to give the project fresh momentum. Instead, the new S token has dropped nearly 70% since January, leaving the team with a structural handicap: too few tokens under its own control to compete with rival blockchains. Now, Sonic is rewriting its playbook. From Deficit to Aggression Most layer-1 projects keep around half of their token supply for strategic initiatives. Sonic, by contrast, inherited less than 3% from Fantom. That left the project scrambling to buy tokens on the open market whenever opportunities arose. Leadership admits that the model belongs to “2018 tokenomics” and insists a reset is essential if Sonic is to chase partnerships with major companies and financial institutions. The reset will come in the form of a $200 million allocation of S tokens earmarked for U.S. expansion. Community members overwhelmingly approved the plan, with more than 700 million tokens voting and 99.99% support recorded. Entering Wall Street’s Backyard Rather than focusing solely on crypto-native strategies, Sonic wants to integrate directly with traditional finance. The new blueprint includes: Building a PIPE (private investment in public equity) reserve on Nasdaq. Launching a token-tracking exchange-traded product with a major ETF provider managing over $10 billion in assets. Establishing Sonic USA LLC, complete with a new executive team in New York and policy outreach in Washington, D.C. Custody for these financial products will be handled by BitGo, one of the industry’s leading regulated custodians. Trying to Fix the Supply Problem To offset the impact of issuing new tokens, Sonic will modify its gas fee structure so a greater share is burned, introducing stronger deflationary pressure over time. The team hopes this will reassure holders that expansion won’t come at the cost of… The post After 70% Price Crash, Sonic Rewrites Tokenomics for 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
