Sonic isn’t just coming back, it is reborn from the ashes of crypto. Launched in 2025 as the Fantom evolution play, has already reached over $600 million in TVL. On top of that, it landed a fresh Coinbase listing and is speedrunning the L1 game with serious dev heat.
S is trading around $0.33 after a clean 16% move, and there is more fuel in the tank for sure. With DeFi TVL piling up, juicy 14% yields, and the Sonic Summit 2025 just a few months out, this L1 can get rocketed to the moon. Or, will a Bitcoin Layer-2 blast higher than S?
Sonic Crypto Comeback is Real
Looks like Sonic doesn’t try to relive Fantom’s old glory days, but to create its own empire. Launched in January 2025, this high-speed EVM chain got 10,000 TPS with near-zero fees and sub-second finality. It has a native token that goes by the ticker “S” used for gas, staking, and governance. And the tokenomics design is built for long-term play, including airdrops, staking rewards, and unused mints getting burned.
Some even speculate that if it reaches the theoretical maximum throughput, it can reach up to 370,000 to 400,000 TPS. Bonkers.
Sonic is fast becoming one of the biggest L1 players. We broke it down.
From a 400,000 TPS upgrade to ecosystem incentives, we cover how @SonicLabs is positioning itself as a serious DeFi contender.

The pump that S got without a doubt is coming from the listing on Coinbase + those juicy $600 million TVL mark. Looks like Sonic is the DeFi Disneyland. Silo Finance owns half of the DeFi. Shadow Exchange popped from $5 million to $32 million in a week. Metropolis hit $10 million TVL weeks after launch. Rings dropped a $108 million stablecoin protocol and many, many more.

SonicStrategy just bought 1.2 million more S (now holding 10.9 million in total), chasing 9-14% DeFi returns. And on top of that, Points and Gems airdrops are still rolling. Users earn just by playing around the chain by minting, bridging, and farming.
Sonic Summit 2025 lands in Singapore this September. Big name builders, protocol alpha, and probably some new meta launches. There are many price speculations on how much it can reach. Some are crazy like $2 targets, but let’s focus on the first resistance.
Reclaiming $0.40 could lead to a cascading effect and a snowball. Degens will hop onto the train, and the price will explode. For sure, the future is bright for the crypto project Sonic.
Bitcoin Layer 2 Over Layer 1?
As tempting as it may sound, Sonic is just another Later 1 that is trying to stand out in a very harsh environment. For sure, it is a real gem of a project, but everything connected to Bitcoin is a gold mine.
And such is the project Bitcoin Hyper, powering the first Bitcoin Layer 2 chain.
Bitcoin Hyper, powered by its native token $HYPER, is a rising opportunity in a very scrambled crypto world. It is combining Bitcoin security and decentralization with the flexibility of different DeFi utilities.
You can bridge your BTC seamlessly to and from Bitcoin Hyper using their native tech. By doing so, you can benefit from what modern crypto is offering without the need to leave the Bitcoin universe.

Right now, the native token $HYPER is on presale with an amazing chance to stake it for a staggering 489% APY. The price of the token right now is $0.012025 per coin, and believe me or not, this is the best deal you can get.
So far, the project has raised over $1.58 million, and the numbers keep rising daily. Bitcoin Hyper will leave a mark in Bitcoin history and in the whole crypto world for sure.
