DE BONK is a new memecoin that recently appeared on the Solana blockchain and saw a significant increase in price (x100) in the first few days of the new year. Currently, it is unclear what specific features BONK has, but some people compare it to the popular Shiba Inu coin. In this article, we will discuss where to buy BONK and what the hype is all about….
What is BONK?
BONK is thus a meme cryptocurrency created by the Solana community, 50% of the total stock of BONK was distributed to the community via airdrop.
The creators of BONK, who are anonymous, wanted to create a fun and fair memecoin and move away from the toxic “Alameda” tokenomics that many coins on the Solana blockchain feature. It is still unclear what specific features or characteristics BONK has or exactly how it will be used.
Where to buy BONK?
BONK can currently be purchased on the Dutch exchange Litebit. Currently, it is only possible to buy BONK 1-for-1 and it is not possible to go short or trade with leverage on this platform. It is not clear if these options will be available in the future. BONK is also listed on Bybit spot trading platform.

BONK Airdrop
The BONK Airdrop was a whopping 50% of the total BONK offerings. It was divided into four categories:
- 20% went to Solana NFT collections
- 15% went to early Openbook dealers
- 10% went to Solana artists and collectors
- 5% went to Solana developers
Only individuals with the specific NFTs would have received a portion of the airdrop without having to take additional action.
Could BONK ever reach $1?
It is unlikely that BONK will ever reach a value of $1, this would mean that BONK’s market capitalization would have to reach extreme heights. Since BONK’s current market capitalization is $64 million, it would have to increase by a factor of 200,000 to reach $1 and become 12.8 trillion. This is simply impossible, which is why it is wise to remain realistic about BONK’s potential value and consider it carefully before deciding to invest in it.

- Volatility: BONK is a volatile cryptocurrency. This means that the price of BONK can fluctuate, sometimes sharply.
