SoSoValue

SoSoValue is an AI-powered crypto investment research platform and on-chain index protocol that gives retail investors access to professional-grade market analytics and passively managed exposure to diversified crypto portfolios through wrapped index tokens.

What SoSoValue Does

Founded in 2023, SoSoValue started as a data-first research terminal focused on closing the information gap between institutional and retail crypto investors. The platform aggregated market data, tracked Bitcoin spot ETF inflows and outflows — among the first services to do so in real time — and provided curated news feeds alongside community tools. By 2025 it had grown to more than 8 million registered users globally, roughly tripling its user base in a single year, and expanded well beyond research into an integrated investment stack.

The platform now combines four interconnected products: a research terminal, the SoSoValue Indices (SSI) Protocol, a decentralized exchange called SoDEX, and a custom Layer-1 blockchain called ValueChain.

The SSI Protocol

The SSI Protocol is SoSoValue's flagship on-chain product. It operates on EVM-compatible chains and packages multi-chain, multi-asset crypto portfolios into wrapped tokens — effectively bringing passive index investing to crypto in a way analogous to how ETFs work in traditional finance.

Each SSI token represents a basket of underlying crypto assets. Smart contracts govern custody and rebalancing, with licensed custodian partners holding the underlying collateral. Portfolios rebalance automatically on a monthly schedule, and the protocol charges a 0.01% daily technology service fee for managing the positions.

SoSoValue launched the SSI Protocol in beta on Base chain in late December 2024, introducing four index tokens:

• MAG7.ssi — a basket modeled on the highest-market-cap cryptocurrencies
• MEME.ssi — exposure to the meme-coin sector
• DEFI.ssi — a decentralized finance sector index
• USSI — a delta-neutral position designed to earn funding-rate yield rather than track price

Within two weeks of launch, more than 10,000 unique wallet addresses held SSI tokens, demonstrating rapid early adoption.

Research Terminal

The SoSoValue research terminal aggregates and processes extensive market data to deliver actionable intelligence. Core features include professional-grade charting and screeners, crypto ETF flow dashboards (the service gained particular recognition for tracking Bitcoin spot ETF net inflows and outflows in real time), 24-hour news aggregation, and AI-assisted analytics that surface signals from across the market. The terminal is accessible via desktop and mobile apps on both Android and iOS.

SoDEX and ValueChain

SoDEX is SoSoValue's decentralized exchange, designed to combine rapid settlement and deep liquidity with on-chain transparency. It serves as the primary trading venue within the SoSoValue ecosystem and a primary listing venue for the SOSO token, alongside centralized exchanges including Kraken and Bybit.

ValueChain is a custom Layer-1 blockchain built to support SoDEX at scale. It uses modular architecture and is intended to underpin the broader SoSoValue ecosystem as transaction volumes grow. The SOSO token is deployed natively on ValueChain and bridged to Ethereum and Base.

SOSO Token

SOSO is the native token of the SoSoValue ecosystem with a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens, with approximately 312 million in circulation as of early 2025.

Token allocation breaks down as follows: Core Contributors (33%), Ecosystem and Airdrop (30%), Foundation (17%), and Partners (3.5%).

SOSO serves three principal functions. First, it is the gas token for ValueChain. Second, it provides governance rights — holders can propose and vote on key protocol decisions. Third, it functions as the reward currency within SoSoValue's incentive systems: the EXP System (earned through platform engagement) and the Protocol Points System (earned by holding SSI index tokens or providing liquidity).

The token is listed on SoDEX, Kraken, Bybit, and Bitvavo, and circulates across ValueChain, Ethereum mainnet, and Base.

Team and Funding

SoSoValue was co-founded by Jivvva Kwan and Jessie Lo, who bring combined experience across AI development and digital asset markets.

The project raised approximately $4.15 million in a seed round in mid-2024, followed by a $15 million Series A in January 2025 that valued the company at approximately $200 million, bringing total capital raised to roughly $20 million. The Series A was co-led by HSG and SmallSpark, with participation from Mirana Ventures, SafePal, GSR Markets, Alumni Ventures, CoinSummer Labs, and OnePiece Labs.

Security

The SSI Protocol smart contracts are managed with licensed custodian partners according to the whitepaper. Specific third-party audit reports had not been publicly disclosed at the time of writing. Users should verify the current audit status via official SoSoValue channels before committing capital.

Broader Ecosystem Fit

SoSoValue positions itself as chain-agnostic on the research and data side, covering market analytics across all major blockchains including Solana. The SSI Protocol's multi-chain asset bundling model is designed to expand across chains as the protocol matures, with EVM deployments on Base representing the initial beta. Solana ecosystem assets — including Solana-native DeFi protocols, liquid staking tokens, and meme coins — appear within SoSoValue's research terminal and analytics, making the platform a relevant research layer for Solana-focused investors even before any native Solana smart-contract deployment.

The platform's core thesis is that the next wave of crypto adoption will be driven by retail investors who need institutional-quality tools and simplified portfolio products. By combining a widely used research terminal with a growing index protocol and its own trading infrastructure, SoSoValue is building a vertically integrated crypto investment stack spanning the full research-to-execution pipeline.
