BTC$109,203.92 hovers near a fresh all-time high, the Solana-based memecoin, BONK BONK$0.0₄1618, is leading the major altcoin rally.
The surge coincides with renewed optimism in risk assets following bitcoin’s recovery above $110,000, which has triggered widespread gains across established cryptocurrencies.
Adding to BONK’s bullish case, the BONK foundation’s token launchpad, LetsBONK.fun, recently surpassed competitor Pump.fun in daily volume with a 126% increase. This development benefits BONK holders as 50% of the platform’s revenue is allocated to buying and burning BONK tokens, creating additional positive price pressure in a market already anticipating the upcoming 1 trillion token burn when the project reaches 1 million holders.
Meanwhile, Tuttle Capital Management confirmed July 16 as the earliest possible launch date for its suite of leveraged crypto ETFs, including a 2× BONK ETF, fueling bullish sentiment.
