【Crypto World】Sonic Labs recently announced significant adjustments to its ETF token allocation execution plan. Previously, the community authorized the use of up to $50 million worth of S tokens for the US-listed ETF project through governance proposals. However, due to recent market conditions and the decline in S token price, the team has decided to reevaluate the implementation plan.
What are the core issues with the original plan? Executing at the current price would require issuing over 600 million additional S tokens, which clearly deviates from the original intent of the governance proposal. Sonic Labs believes that blindly increasing supply at unfavorable price levels not only harms token holders’ interests but also contradicts long-term strategic development. Therefore, the original plan has been officially rejected, and the team has developed a more rigorous execution framework.
The new constraints include three key points: First, token minting will only be initiated when the S price exceeds $0.5, with a maximum release limit of 100 million tokens; Second, the total token value cap remains at $50 million, and the team will prioritize issuing fewer tokens at higher price levels to maximize protection of token holders’ interests; Third, any execution plan deviating from these two conditions will not be adopted. It is worth emphasizing that ETF quota tokens will be fully locked within regulated products and will not flow into the secondary market to cause selling pressure.
The team states that US-listed ETFs remain a long-term strategic focus, aiming to provide institutional investors with compliant Sonic exposure. Any further adjustments will continue to be communicated transparently through governance processes. This cautious approach also reflects the project’s emphasis on token value and market stability.

Oops, this move has some substance; at least it didn't dump directly.

Oh man, I can't believe this operation. Seriously, don't mint coins randomly. 600 million coins directly dumped?
I should have set a price threshold earlier. Triggering at $0.5 is okay, at least it wouldn't be blindly flooding the market.
This wave is definitely about supporting the price holders, not about cutting the leeks. Thumbs up.
Wait, is the 100 million coin cap enough, or do we have to squeeze out more?
The Sonic team has learned to be smarter, much more reliable than some project teams' operations.

Haha, finally not forcibly dumping the market. This move is indeed a bit more rational.
---
0.5 dollars to mint? That'll have to wait until the Year of the Monkey or later.
---
Instead of just talking on paper, it's better to directly admit being forced to downgrade. At least be honest.
---
6 hundred million tokens? Luckily, they stopped in time, or S would really be diluted into trash.
---
It feels like the community's criticism woke them up. This kind of adjustment is still somewhat acceptable.
---
Is this still called a "rigorous framework"? It looks more like a helpless compromise.
---
Setting a $0.5 threshold is basically buying time for themselves. Smart people see through it at a glance.
---
I believe in the supply cap of 100 million tokens. The key is whether S can bounce back...
---
Not bad, not bad. It's more reasonable than kneeling and printing more coins.
---
Another "temporary adjustment." Just listen and don't take it seriously.

Hmm, 600 million S tokens being dumped all at once? That would look really bad... Luckily, it was stopped in time.

Hey, I have to say, this move is way more legitimate than those random coin minting schemes to scam investors.

I have to give a thumbs up for this move; finally, they remembered to control the supply.
It's a bit late, but at least they didn't continue printing money recklessly.
Only $0.5 to mint? It seems the team has indeed learned their lesson.
This kind of restraint is more valuable than any flowery words.
Still remembering to protect holders, which is considered a conscience in the industry.
Sonic Labs adjusts ETF token allocation plan: sets a $0.5 price threshold and strictly controls the supply cap
