Sony-backed Soneium unveils native SONEIUM token and tokenized IP investment products

The Ethereum Layer 2 wants a token to tie together creators, IP owners, fans and investors in a tokenized entertainment economy Soneium, the Ethereum Layer 2 network backed by Sony, plans to issue a native token called $SONEIUM. The stated goal is to power what the project describes as an onchain entertainment economy. For most of its life, Soneium has run without a token of its own. That is about to change. The announcement came on October 26, 2026. Soneium is developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, Sony’s blockchain unit. The token is pitched as an economic layer for the whole ecosystem. The idea is to connect five groups that rarely share a balance sheet: creators, IP owners, builders, fans and investors.
