Sunrise Unlocks Instant Token Listings on Solana
Wormhole Labs has launched Sunrise, a new Solana-first platform designed to give digital assets immediate liquidity the moment they arrive on the network. Sunrise is built on Wormhole’s Native Token Transfer (NTT) framework, which removes the need for wrapped assets or complicated bridges. That means tokens created on other chains can move over to Solana smoothly and start trading within hours.
The first token to go live through Sunrise is MON, Monad’s native asset, which is now trading against USDC, SOL, and other Solana tokens. This approach helps solve the long-standing issue where projects launch on other chains first, leaving Solana users waiting and dealing with scattered liquidity.

How Sunrise Changes Solana DeFi
Sunrise fundamentally changes cross-chain asset migration by providing a single, standardized route for new tokens to enter and instantly activate liquidity in Solana markets. The system allows issuers to launch on Solana with one action, while liquidity providers can seed trading pools in advance. With native asset movement via NTT, new tokens integrate seamlessly with decentralized exchanges and DeFi applications, boosting user confidence and capital flows. The dashboard and Orb tools enable direct swaps, portfolio management, and simple participation for early adopters. Wormhole’s enhanced technology positions Solana as a primary liquidity hub, lowering barriers for new projects, protocols, and institutional players entering the Web3 space.
Meanwhile, Solana-based liquidity protocol Meteora and its native $MET2 token are listed on Upbit, South Korea’s largest digital asset exchange, on November 18, 2025. This move gives Korean traders simpler access to Solana DeFi while helping Meteora grow its presence in the market. At the heart of Meteora’s platform is its Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM), designed to improve capital utilization and reduce slippage. The Upbit listing signals strong institutional confidence in Meteora’s approach and underscores South Korea’s growing influence in bringing Web3 into the mainstream.
