$SAROS has rallied 2,464%, so far in 2025, making it one of the best-performing coins of the year.
The Saros token ($SAROS) is the native governance and utility token of the Saros protocol, a Solana-based app that provides seamless access to the decentralized economy in one place.
The token began 2025 at $0.015115 and has since trended strongly upward. This rise pushed $SAROS to a new all-time high (ATH) of $0.4136 on Aug. 4, according to CoinGecko.
Since then, the price has eased to $0.3873, with over $9.25 million in 24-hour trading volume. Even just below its ATH, $SAROS remains up 69% in the past month and 31,553.5% over the past year.
The surge has helped $SAROS reach the 111th spot among cryptocurrencies, with a market cap above $1 billion.
Explosive Combo: Crypto’s Historic Year Meets DLMM Launch
2025 is proving to be a strong year for the cryptocurrency market, surpassing the $4 trillion mark for the first time as Bitcoin (BTC) hit the coveted $100K level and climbed to nearly $123,000, Ether (ETH) showed renewed strength, and Solana (SOL) neared $300.
These gains have been fueled by strong interest from retail, institutions, and even governments.
As the broader crypto market rallied, so did $SAROS, supported by innovation, growth, and a special program that together boosted its bullish momentum this year.
Before 2025, $SAROS traded between $0.001 and $0.01. This year, the token entered an “up only” phase.
A major catalyst came in June when Saros officially launched the Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM).
This core innovation, part of Saros’s effort to build the liquidity foundation of the internet financial market, improves on the standard Automated Market Maker (AMM) model by allowing customizable liquidity ranges. This enables users to earn more fees while significantly improving trading efficiency.
The advanced AMM on Solana is designed to make liquidity capital-efficient, composable, and resilient across a wide range of assets, market conditions, and use cases. Within two months of launch, Saros’s volume exceeded $60 million, with TVL around $30 million.
As CoinGecko noted in its report ranking $SAROS as the top gainer of H1 2025, DLMM launched on June 3, and a week later, the price reached a new high.
An even bigger catalyst, however, has been sustained buying pressure over the past few months.
Creating Scarcity: Limited Supply Meets Surging Demand
The law of supply and demand states that if more people want to buy an asset while its supply is limited, the price will rise.
For $SAROS, the total supply is fixed at ten billion tokens, the maximum that will ever exist.
While supply is capped, demand has been growing as users buy $SAROS to access premium features and stake it for passive income. The token is also used to incentivize and bootstrap liquidity in the Saros ecosystem.
A major boost came from the Saros Foundation, which has purchased 100 million tokens from the open market, reducing the available supply.
According to the Foundation’s Aug. 5 announcement, this accumulation has been ongoing for months. A buying pressure of 38 million USDT, combined with fixed supply and strong bullish momentum, has created ideal conditions for upward price action.
This is not a one-time move; the Foundation has launched a buyback program that will continue well into the future. Up to 20% of protocol revenue will be allocated for these buybacks, with the percentage depending on future revenue — ensuring protocol performance directly translates into “value capture for the network.”
To maintain transparency, the Foundation will publish an annual report detailing buybacks and progress.
This strategy, widely used to boost asset prices in both crypto and stock markets, is only the starting point for Saros. It is “part of a larger plan to ensure $SAROS captures the value being created within the ecosystem, not just through price, but through real utility.”
As Saros grows, $SAROS will become more integrated into the ecosystem, powering rewards and enabling participation. With ongoing innovation and a scalable buyback program, $SAROS is solidifying its role in Solana’s and the broader DeFi ecosystem.
