How to Buy Sonic (S) on LeveX

You can buy Sonic (S) on LeveX through the S/USDT spot market for direct ownership, or trade it with leverage through the SUSDT perpetual futures contract. Sonic is the EVM-compatible layer-1 that replaced Fantom, and S is its native token for gas, staking and governance. This guide walks through both routes step by step.

What Is Sonic (S)?

Sonic launched in December 2024 as the successor to Fantom Opera, and FTM holders converted to S at a fixed 1:1 rate, a process our Fantom to Sonic upgrade guide explains. The chain offers sub-second finality and full Ethereum compatibility, and it pays app developers a share of gas through Sonic Fee Monetization (FeeM).

In 2026 Sonic changed leadership, cancelled its manual token mints and launched an independent audit of S supply, changes covered in our Sonic tokenomics breakdown. Those developments make S one of the more news-driven tokens in the layer-1 sector, which matters for how you choose to trade it.

Buying S Through Spot Trading

Spot trading gives you real S that you can hold, withdraw to your own wallet or stake. Follow these steps:

1. Register a LeveX account and complete verification.
2. Deposit funds into your LeveX account, either crypto or fiat through Buy Crypto, and make sure you hold USDT in your spot wallet.
3. Open the S/USDT spot market.
4. Pick an order type: a market order fills instantly at the best available price, while a limit order waits for the price you set. Our guide to limit, market and conditional orders explains when each fits.
5. Enter the amount of S you want and confirm the order.
6. Find your S in the spot wallet once the order fills.

If you plan to hold long term, you can withdraw S to a self-custody wallet on the Sonic network (chain ID 146). Our roundup of the best Sonic wallets compares the options, and the Sonic staking guide shows how to put withdrawn S to work earning validator rewards.

Trading S Perpetual Futures

Perpetual futures let you go long or short on S with leverage and no expiry date, without holding the token itself. Here's how to open a position:

1. Transfer USDT from your spot wallet to your futures wallet.
2. Open the SUSDT perpetual contract.
3. Choose your margin mode and leverage. Start low: S often moves several percent in a day, and leverage multiplies both gains and losses.
4. Select long if you expect the price to rise or short if you expect it to fall, then set your size and order type.
5. Add protective orders using our guide to setting stop-loss and take-profit orders.
6. Monitor funding, which is exchanged between longs and shorts at regular intervals and is explained in understanding funding rates.

Futures suit traders acting on short-term catalysts, such as the publication of Sonic's supply audit, or hedging S they already hold.

Why Choose LeveX for Sonic Trading

LeveX was built by traders for traders, and several features fit a volatile turnaround token like S:

• Multi-Trade mode lets you hold separate long and short S positions on the same contract, each with its own leverage and stops. See how to use Multi-Trade mode.
• Spot and futures under one account make it simple to buy S for staking while hedging price risk with a short perpetual.
• Proof of Reserves on a 1:1 Merkle tree basis, published on the LeveX site, lets you verify customer assets are backed.
• Community tools such as the Feed let you follow how other traders are positioning on Sonic, which helps when a token reacts sharply to news. For a wider view of where S might head, our Sonic vs Solana comparison shows how it stacks up against a much larger rival.

Buying Sonic FAQ

Is S available on both spot and futures on LeveX?

Yes, S trades on LeveX as the S/USDT spot pair and the SUSDT perpetual futures contract. Spot gives you the token itself, while futures give you leveraged price exposure.

Can I buy Sonic with a card on LeveX?

You can use the Buy Crypto feature to purchase USDT with a card or other supported fiat methods, then use that USDT to buy S on the spot market. Available payment methods depend on your region.

Is Sonic the same as Fantom on LeveX?

S is the token that replaced FTM after the 1:1 upgrade, so LeveX lists Sonic under the S ticker. If you held FTM elsewhere, convert it through the official upgrade portal before sending anything to an S deposit address.

Getting Started With S on LeveX

Spot is the right route if you want to own, store or stake S, and perpetual futures fit traders who want to act on news in either direction or hedge an existing bag. Whichever you choose, keep position sizes modest, since S is a small-cap token with a wide range of possible outcomes, as our Sonic price prediction lays out.
