Binance Futures has introduced a new perpetual contract for SONICUSDT, enabling users to trade the token with up to 75x leverage. The listing, launched on January 8, 2025, at 07:00 UTC, marks a significant milestone for Sonic SVM (SONIC), a project focused on games and decentralized applications built on Solana’s blockchain. Market data indicates that SONIC experienced a staggering 70% price increase within 24 hours of the announcement.
The perpetual contract offers several features, including:
- USDT-settled payments.
- 0.0001 tick size.
- +2.00% / -2.00% funding rate cap.
- Funding fee payments every four hours.
- 24/7 trading availability.
Binance has noted that contract specifications may be adjusted based on market conditions. This development comes alongside Sonic’s Token Generation Event (TGE) for the $SONIC token, marking a major evolution for the platform. Following its TGE, $SONIC was listed on major exchanges like OKX, MEXC, and KuCoin, as well as decentralized platforms such as Raydium and Meteora on Solana.
