SoSoValue

SoSoValue is an AI-driven crypto investment research platform that has grown into a four-product ecosystem — a data terminal, an on-chain index protocol, a decentralized exchange, and a purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain — serving more than ten million registered users globally.

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 the time it raised its Series A in January 2025, the platform had surpassed eight million registered users globally 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.

Research Terminal

The SoSoValue research terminal aggregates and processes extensive market data to deliver actionable intelligence. Its AI layer ingests on-chain transaction data, market feeds, and social sentiment to surface investment signals rather than presenting raw data alone.

Core features include:

• Sector intelligence: The platform divides the crypto market into 16 sectors — BTC, ETH, DeFi, Layer 1, Layer 2, CEX, Stablecoins, AI, GameFi, SocialFi, NFT, DePIN, RWA, and Infrastructure — each with capital-flow dashboards tracking fund rotation across categories.
• Project pages: Per-token analytics covering tokenomics, unlock schedules, investor compositions, and linked research articles.
• SoSo Watchlist 100: A quarterly-rebalanced index of the top 100 crypto assets, excluding stablecoins.
• Macro finance tools: An economic calendar, interest-rate tracker, and liquidity indicators that translate traditional financial policy signals into crypto market context.
• Layer analytics: Dedicated dashboards for Layer-1 and Layer-2 ecosystems tracking adoption and developer activity.
• ETF flow dashboards: Real-time tracking of Bitcoin spot ETF net inflows and outflows, a feature that gained the platform early recognition in 2024.

The terminal is accessible via web, Android, and iOS.

The SSI Protocol

The SSI Protocol is SoSoValue's on-chain index product. It operates on EVM-compatible chains and packages 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.

SoDEX and ValueChain

On October 28, 2025, SoSoValue launched ValueChain mainnet and the SoDEX decentralized exchange simultaneously.

ValueChain is a purpose-built Layer-1 designed to meet the throughput and latency demands of a high-frequency on-chain exchange. Its architecture features parallel appchains — separate high-performance execution environments for spot trading and perpetuals — unified through an EVM-compatible system chain. The platform claims throughput of up to 100,000 transactions per second. During testnet, SoDEX processed an average of 3.9 million on-chain orders daily.

SoDEX is an order-book decentralized exchange built natively on ValueChain. It uses a decentralized matching engine, with order-matching logic distributed across validator nodes and deployed fully on-chain. SoDEX supports both spot and perpetuals trading with on-chain settlement and full transparency. More than 400,000 users signed up for testnet access, with 80,000 registering for the early-bird whitelist. The exchange entered closed alpha at mainnet launch, with a broader rollout and airdrop program continuing into 2026.

SoDEX is also a primary listing venue for the SOSO token alongside centralized exchanges including Kraken and Bybit.

SOSO Token

SOSO is the native token of the SoSoValue ecosystem with a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens. With the October 2025 ValueChain mainnet launch, SOSO was upgraded to function as both the native gas token and governance token for ValueChain.

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

SOSO serves multiple functions within the ecosystem: gas fee payments on ValueChain, governance voting over protocol parameters, staking incentives, liquidity provision incentives on SoDEX, and collateral and fee settlement within the SSI index protocol. The token 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. The Series A proceeds were earmarked primarily as a reserve fund backing the SSI Protocol.

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 is chain-agnostic on the research and data side, covering market analytics across all major blockchains including Solana. Solana ecosystem assets — including Solana-native DeFi protocols, liquid staking tokens, and meme coins — appear within SoSoValue's research terminal across its sector dashboards and project pages, making the platform a relevant research layer for Solana-focused investors. The SSI Protocol's initial deployments are on EVM chains (Base), with the protocol's multi-chain asset bundling model designed to expand as the protocol matures.

The platform's core thesis is that the next wave of crypto adoption will be driven by 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.
