People should study how @SonicLabs is wiring TradFi rails into an onchain growth engine

The vote on “Bridging Crypto & TradFi in the US” lays out a clear, auditable plan:
➠ Up to $50M ETF allocation with BitGo custody + a major regulated ETF partner (>$10B AUM)
➠ Up to $100M NASDAQ PIPE to acquire $S on spot/OTC with 3+ year locks
➠ 150M $S to Sonic USA LLC (Delaware, NYC team) for US buildout, compliance, distribution

On-chain discipline matters:
➠ Tokens minted only as needed, tracked publicly
➠ Gas fees burn 5 50% per tx to partially offset issuance
➠ Labs currently holds <1% supply, constraining institutional moves without governance approval

Why this playbook can work:
➠ Distribution: ETF + PIPE unlock institutional and retail access in regulated venues
➠ Liquidity: Programmatic demand + long locks reduce reflexive sell pressure
➠ Policy surface: A US entity to navigate listings, custody, and compliance

Momentum already shows real usage:
➠ July trading volume jumped to ~$4.94B from $3.1B in June
➠ TVL approaching ~$700M
➠ 2,000,000 $S+ in app revenue routed to builders via FeeM, with 90% of tx fees flowing to apps
➠ EVM L1 performance targets: ~400k TPS, sub-second finality; Pectra-compatible Testnet 2.1 next

Execution pipeline:
➠ Sonic Summit 2025, Sep 29 30, Singapore (post-Token2049): workshops, hackathon, deep-dives
➠ Kaito x Sonic campaign refresh: two 3-month snapshots, fNFTs swapped for liquid $S, Top 1,000 qualify, Top 100 get a 25% boost, first snapshot Sept 18

Community signal so far: overwhelming approval, with healthy debate on dilution vs. distribution

If this passes, do you see ETF flows + PIPE liquidity becoming a sustainable onchain flywheel for $S, or do regulatory chokepoints cap the upside in the near term
