The memecoin market is heating up again. Total sector capitalization has climbed to approximately $61.3 billion, up 0.4% over the past 24 hours, according to market data from CoinGecko.
Trading volumes have also exploded past $7.4 billion in the same period, proof that investors are still willing to trade. At the heart of this resurgence is $BONK, the Solana-based token rapidly gaining momentum.

The rally pushed $BONK past Fartcoin, securing its spot as the fifth-largest memecoin.
Launched in late 2022 through a massive Solana airdrop, $BONK (nicknamed “Bonk Inu”) takes cues from Dogecoin, complete with a Shiba Inu mascot.
From day one, the team focused on mass adoption. Creator Nom Bark says integrations exploded from 40 at launch to over 350 today, driving steady user growth.
This aggressive expansion strategy has paid dividends, with projects like Bonk Bot, a popular Solana-based Telegram trading bot, now processing higher trading volumes than many Layer-1 blockchains.
Launch of LetsBonk.fun Supercharges $BONK’s Momentum
The launch of LetsBonk.fun, a new meme coin launchpad built by the $BONK community with Raydium (Solana’s leading liquidity provider), has fueled the token’s recent rally.
Seen as a competitor to Pump.fun, BONK’S latest platform, differentiates itself by using generated fees to buy back $BONK, whereas Pump.fun has faced criticism for reportedly selling off Solana tokens.
The buyback of $BONK tokens supports the project’s commitment to its community and also reduces the circulating supply. In theory, this can create further scarcity and drive a price pump.
LetsBonk.fun seems to have gone viral.
BONK developer @SolportTom reports an increase in the influx of Korean and Chinese users.
To capitalize on this, the developers plan to translate $BONK’s websites into native languages and appoint regional ambassadors to further expand community engagement.
In addition, LetsBONK has partnered with Raydium to reward the next 20 AI projects that migrate to its platform and sustain a market cap above $100K for 24 hours, offering incentives in $RAY tokens.
One of its most notable backers, Unipcs, famously known as “Bonk Guy,” gained fame in 2023 after turning a $16K investment into $13.7 million through $BONK holdings.
