Plus whatever you get when you combine all those verticals into one. They may not have invented an abbreviation for it yet but they’ve certainly created one for the token that will power all this onchain economic activity. $SFI is the ticker, and while it’s technically a token migration, it’s fair to say that it’s going down as one of the most anticipated token launches of 2025. Formed out of a merger between SingularityDAO and Cogito Finance, to combine each entity’s inherent strengths and to build the AI sector’s “financial backbone”. The union also necessitated combining their respective tokens and thus $SFI was born. But there’s much more to the token than simply a new name – much more. Singularity Finance—the financial backbone to the fastest-growing technology sector in human history.Singularity Finance $SFI Token Launch officially launches on Feb 6th 2025!Join us. Because the future won’t wait. pic.twitter.com/q8twmFCP6t — Singularity Finance (@Singularity_Fi) February 3, 2025 New Ticker, Who Dis? On February 6, the event that the alliance behind Singularity Finance have been working feverishly towards for months will crystallize in the launch of $SFI. The asset will perform a variety of roles, serving as the general-purpose gas and utility token for the new Singularity Finance L2. But beyond its core use cases, it’s likely to be treated by the public as embodying the entire DeFAI sector. If you’re bullish on DeFAI, in other words, you should be bullish on $SFI. And right now, half of crypto’s bullish on the intersection of decentralized finance and artificial intelligence – including those who’ve yet to get up to speed on what Singularity Finance is cooking . The short version goes like this: it’s building the network for tokenizing the AI value chain. The longer version goes very similarly to that but with more words. Try the following explainer for size… Imagine Investing in the Internet AI is the greatest invention the modern world has ever seen except for the internet itself. When the web was created and subsequently popularized, in the late 90s, there was no easy way to gain direct exposure to this trend. In other words, even if you were bullish on the internet and knew it was going to change everything, you couldn’t long TCP/IP or fill a bag of POP3 tokens. At best, for those who believed the internet’s impact was going to be significantly greater than the fax machine’s, you could indirectly gain exposure by buying shares in Amazon.com or Pets.com. But by the time that was possible, the initial stratospheric ascent of the web as breakout technology had already passed and, in the event, even investing into eventual unicorns such as Amazon would have required saintly patience, given the dotcom crash that slowed all tech growth for several years. Fast forward two decades and not only are we privileged to be witnessing the second and likely last ever “internet creation event” in human history, but we can now gain direct exposure to it through inventions like blockchain and tokenization. But it’s not as simple as simply picking a couple of AI stocks and sitting back and waiting for events to run their course. The industry is more fragmented and complex than that. $SFI is your front row ticket for the roller coaster ride that is AI. Rather than tying yourself to the fortunes of any one project or company – OpenAI, say – it’s a bet on the growth of the entire industry. Like all roller coasters, there’ll still be plenty of ups and downs along the way, but it promises to be a helluva ride that grants holders direct exposure to the most transformative event our tiny minds will ever experience. Oh, and you can also use it to pay transaction fees on Singularity Finance’s L2. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
