Solana Dog Coin Bonk (BONK) Surges Higher
The Solana dog coin Bonk (BONK) experienced a notable surge in early Wednesday trading, climbing from a low of $0.00000347 to an intraday high of $0.0000051.
According to TradingView data, BONK is currently showcasing intraday gains of 31.36%. Meanwhile, CoinMarketCap data reports a 16% increase in the last 24 hours, bringing BONK to $0.000004748.
This surge is particularly noteworthy as many other crypto assets are trading in losses, possibly influenced by recent events in the crypto space, including issues with Binance and the resignation of its CEO, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao.
Possible Reasons for BONK’s Surge
The exact reason for BONK’s ascent remains unknown, but there are several possibilities. Investors may be responding to the recent listing of BONK on Binance Futures.
On Nov. 22 at 2:00 p.m. (UTC), Binance Futures is set to introduce BONK-based futures—USD-M 1000 BONK perpetual contracts with up to 50 times leverage and a tick size of 0.000001. This move has been highlighted by Wu blockchain, drawing parallels to previous instances with Blur Big Time and Tokenfi where Binance did not launch spot trading.
