BONK BONK/USD, the meme coin based on the Solana SOL/USD blockchain, has shown a surge of 36% within the last day, outperforming top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin BTC/USD, Ethereum ETH/USD, and even the original dog-themed meme coin, Dogecoin DOGE/USD.
What Happened: The price hike has propelled BONK to the forefront as the current top performer on the CoinMarketCap top performer list, with its trading value reaching $0.000010.
While BONK celebrates its ascent, Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu SHIB/USD experienced a slight downturn with a 1-2% decrease. Ethereum saw a 5% increase on Thursday evening.
Amidst its upward trajectory, BONK reached a new all-time high, achieving $0.000011 on Thursday.
In the last 30 days, BONK skyrocketed over 946%. This surge is largely credited to the burgeoning investor interest surrounding the Solana blockchain platform, the technological backbone for BONK’s operations.
The rise in trading activity also comes as KuCoin, a crypto exchange, also listed BONK this week via the BONK/USDT trading pair.
