Leadership Shift to Drive Global Growth
Demeter, best known for launching the world’s first Bitcoin ATM and co-founding one of Canada’s earliest digital exchanges, brings extensive experience bridging blockchain innovation with institutional finance.
“Sonic’s technology is unmatched in speed and scalability, and our mission is to bring that performance directly into institutional finance and global markets,” said Demeter.
The network has already achieved significant milestones since its launch in December 2024, including a Coinbase listing , native USDC issuance, and integration with Chainlink’s CCIP.
However, Sonic Labs acknowledges that institutional backing remains the missing piece needed to propel the blockchain into mainstream adoption.
Market Defies Broader Downtrend
The S token has surged to $0.2434, supported by a 78.68% spike in trading volume. It recently rebounded from the lower boundary of a falling wedge and now tests the upper resistance line.
Bollinger Bands are tightening, hinting at imminent volatility, while RSI remains neutral at 53.65, suggesting room for further upside. A bullish MACD crossover adds to the case for a breakout.
Immediate resistance lies at $0.26 and $0.29, with failure to hold momentum potentially dragging the token back toward $0.23–$0.22. Sustained volume and positive money flow will be crucial for confirming any lasting uptrend, potentially making S the next crypto to explode .
Taking Bold Steps
Previously known as Fantom (FTM), the Sonic (S) community recently saw the approval of a $150 million expansion strategy aimed at breaking into the United States market .
The funds will be used to push for a $50 million ETF initiative, a $100 million investment program, combined with the creation of a Delaware-registered company, Sonic USA. The company will be based in New York.
Andre Cronje, the person responsible for the creation of Sonic, said that the vision for 2025 is “pretty simple” with 90% of the fees directly going to dApps.
