The newly-bred canine memecoin Bonk (BONK) has been living on Solana’s (SOL) blockchain for just over two weeks but has already won the hearts of the community behind the altcoin. Meanwhile, SOL had a great end-of-the-week run and reclaimed the key support level of $15.

The popular altcoin climbed back to #13 in crypto charts by global market capitalization, leaving behind the mega-popular memecurrency Shiba Inu (SHIB). This comes because Solana’s market capitalization once again surpassed $6bn, while the total market cap of SHIB saw a slower growth to $5.2bn since last week’s $4.8bn.

Bonkers Amounts of BONK Airdropped on Twitter

The popularity of Bonk has a lot to do with the constant airdrops of $BONK on Crypto Twitter.

SOL vs. BONK Price Move Opposite Ways

Currently, Solana (SOL) shines as the top gainer of the day with a 22.6% increase in the last 24 hours, now trading at $16.40. On the other hand, Bonk (BONK) plunged by 18% in the last 24 hours. At press time, Bonk (BONK) trades at $0.00000172, according to CoinGecko. Last week, the canine coin Bonk (BONK) caught a vigorous bullish wave with 4424% gains in 7 days.

However, the following days had seen a roller-coaster movement in the market price of $BONK, with a sudden 54% decrease. While many crypto analysts thought the new canine memecurrency to be a pump & dump scheme, Bonk (BONK) managed to bounce back by 341% after the sharp decline.

As the memecoin is rumored to play a big part in the upgraded SOL Ecosystem, the developers burned a whopping 5 trillion BONK tokens, which sparked huge interest on Crypto Twitter, as $BONK, #BONK, and #BonkToTheMoon are the latest trending tags on the micro-blogging platform.

Wow! I'm super excited about what you're building. This is still a developing project and we have been seeing positive changes in #SOL ecosystem. If not for #MEXC listing, I might have missed out on this project.
