#Sony’s Blockchain Launch Met with Opposition#
Hot Topic Overview
Overview
Sony's blockchain subsidiary, Soneium, launched its mainnet on Tuesday, aiming to serve content creators and their communities, but it was met with strong opposition related to memecoins. While Sony hopes to empower content creators through blockchain technology, many see this move as too aggressive and worry about potential market chaos. In addition, Bitcoin analysts are beginning to rethink their Trump inauguration strategies as his campaign promise of supporting cryptocurrencies raised higher expectations, while the reality is that the political machine in Washington operates slowly. Despite this, the trend of corporations holding Bitcoin is strengthening. Companies like MicroStrategy buying Bitcoin is an "overlooked megatrend," and the number of corporate holders is "poised to explode" as reputational risk declines and new FASB accounting rules are implemented.

Analysis
Sony's blockchain subsidiary recently launched the Ethereum Layer-2 Soneium mainnet, designed to serve content creators and their communities, but the move has been met with strong opposition from memecoins. Some analysts believe that Sony's blockchain launch faces a memecoin backlash, which may be related to recent Bitcoin analyst rethinking of strategies for Trump's inauguration. Previously, some analysts were leaning towards selling Bitcoin on January 20th's Trump inauguration, as Trump's pro-crypto campaign promises sparked higher expectations, only to be brought down to reality by Washington's typically slow-moving political machine. However, as the inauguration neared, the allure of selling news has decreased. Moreover, corporate purchases of Bitcoin, like those made by MicroStrategy, represent a "big trend that's been overlooked" and the number of corporate holders is "about to explode" as reputational risk decreases and new FASB accounting rules are released.
