Currently, BONK has experienced an 8% increase over the last 24 hours and is trading at $0.000025 with a market capitalization of $1.77 billion, placing it as the 52nd largest cryptocurrency according to CoinMarketCap. Despite this, BONK remains 44% below its all-time high of $0.000047, achieved on March 4. The coin gained popularity in 2023, as part of the surge in meme coins that also contributed to the rise of Solana. Initially starting as another dog-themed meme coin, Bonk has evolved to include decentralized finance (DeFi) integration, collaboration with cross-chain communication protocols, NFT marketplaces, and other crypto ecosystems.
It is currently listed on several major exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, OKX, and Bitstamp. The recent surge in BONK’s value can be attributed largely to the BONK x Helio Pay treasure hunt event in London, where participants have the chance to win 69 million BONK and other prizes. There is optimism among traders about BONK’s future performance, as indicators such as MACD, RSI, Klinger Oscillator, and Awesome Oscillator point to positive momentum. In contrast, other dog-themed meme coins like Dogewhifhat (WIF), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have seen declines of 2.37%, 2.7%, and 1.36% respectively in the same 24-hour period.
The overall cryptocurrency market has experienced a slight downturn, with a 1% decrease in market capitalization to $2.31 trillion. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, has also decreased by 1% over the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $62,581.
