BONKDAO has launched an ambitious token burn campaign targeting 1 trillion BONK tokens, valued at approximately $43 million at current prices. The initiative began with a $4 million burn of BONK, one of the largest meme coins on Solana by market share.
Details of the Burn Campaign
In a blog post, BONKDAO stated, “Token burns reduce the total supply of $BONK, potentially increasing its value and benefiting the community.” The post also encouraged community members to participate by using the #LetsBONK hashtag or placing sports bets on BONKbets, contributing to additional burns.
According to CoinGecko, BONK has seen remarkable growth, with its price surging 14% in the last 24 hours and doubling over the past week. The coin’s market cap has climbed to $3 billion, making it the fifth-largest meme coin in the crypto space.
New Integrations and Exchange Listings
BONK’s BURNmas campaign coincided with its integration into Base’s decentralized exchange Aerodrome, using the Wormhole protocol to connect with Coinbase-backed L2 Base. Additionally, Binance.US listed BONK on its platform, further expanding the token’s reach.
On social media, the #LetsBONK hashtag has gained traction, with over 12,200 posts currently on X (formerly Twitter), reflecting the campaign’s growing popularity.
The Origins of BONK
Launched in the aftermath of the FTX collapse during the winter of 2022, BONK was designed to reward the Solana community, which had faced significant challenges. Half of its total supply was airdropped to the community, emphasizing its grassroots focus.
Implications of the Burn Campaign
BONKDAO’s burn campaign aims to reduce token supply, potentially boosting $BONK’s value in the long term. By encouraging community participation, this strategy seeks to solidify BONK’s position in the meme coin market and enhance its market cap.
Investors and community members will be closely watching to see if the campaign contributes to BONK’s sustained growth and long-term value. Stay tuned to Dey There for updates on BONK and other trending cryptocurrencies.
