Sonic Labs is taking a significant step forward in its global expansion with plans to invest $150 million in the U.S. market and launch their first regulated Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). This move, which aligns with community approval to enter U.S. capital markets, aims to increase adoption of the Sonic (S) token and bolster its presence in traditional finance. The company’s strategic approach involves a two-pronged strategy: 1) Launching a regulated ETF through a major provider and privately investing $100 million in public capital on Nasdaq; this will include reserved funds for buybacks and stability, with assets frozen for at least three years, and 2) Establishing a dedicated Sonic USA division to support U.S. operations. This includes hiring regional managers, allocating another $150 million in Sonic tokens to fuel its development, and targeting institutional investors, particularly in the U.S. regulatory landscape. In addition to the ETF launch, Sonic Labs has implemented a tokenomics update that aims to increase the scarcity and value of the Sonic asset. This includes changes to commission redistribution and gas burning strategies. The company’s market performance shows a current market capitalization of $993 million and a price point of around $0.3085 (down 3.6% over the past week). The project continues to develop its EVM-compatible first-level blockchain, launched in August 2024, further strengthening its technological appeal and attracting institutional investors.
