Bonk price today and market data
BONK price prediction & outlook
BONK is Solana's original dog memecoin, the Christmas 2022 airdrop that this page's About text calls "Solana's mascot for fun," and for most of 2024 it was one of the largest memecoins in crypto, peaking near a $4 billion market cap that November. At capture it was worth about $226 million, roughly 95% below that high, after a memecoin bear market and a $20 million governance attack on its DAO in July 2026. Roughly 88 trillion tokens circulate with no vesting, so price times supply is the market cap, and any target can be sanity-checked in seconds. This is not financial advice.
What actually moves the BONK price
- The Solana memecoin cycle
- BONK is the sector's bellwether: it rallied from about $2.3 billion to more than $4 billion in a week in November 2024 and has fallen with the sector since. Most of its volume now trades on exchanges, about $38 million a day across Binance, OKX, Bybit, Coinbase, and roughly a hundred other venues per CoinGecko, against under $1 million on-chain, so the price is set by sector-wide flows rather than by Solana traders.
- The governance attack and what it revealed
- On July 6, 2026 an attacker spent about $4.4 million buying just over 1% of BONK's supply, used it to pass a proposal in a seven-voter ballot, and drained roughly $20 million of BONK from BonkDAO's treasury (CoinDesk). The price fell about 10% that day and roughly 40% more in the ten weeks after. The token's contract was never at fault; its DAO's low-quorum voting was, and whether that has been fixed is not public. The fallout is still arriving: on September 7, 2026 South Korea's Upbit said it would delist BONK's KRW and USDT pairs under its trading-support termination policy, citing the unresolved treasury breach, and the token fell about 7% on the news (FXStreet).
- Burns and the launchpad
- BONK's supply has fallen from 100 trillion at genesis to about 88 trillion through burns, the largest being 1.69 trillion tokens worth about $50 million on December 26, 2024 (DailyCoin) and 278 billion from the BonkBot revenue share in April 2024. Since April 25, 2025 the LetsBonk.fun launchpad, built on Raydium's LaunchLab, has routed a reported 30% of its fees into BONK buybacks and burns (CoinGecko); its share of Solana launches has swung from near 80% to under 20% within months, and the burn flow swings with it.
- A corporate treasury
- Nasdaq-listed Safety Shot formed BONK Holdings in September 2025 and reported owning 2.7% of the circulating supply by October 8, 2025, with a stated year-end target of 5% (GlobeNewswire). A public-company buyer is a rare bid for a memecoin, and a public-company seller would be a rare offer.
- The range it has already shown
- BONK went from an all-time low of $0.000000086 on December 29, 2022 to an all-time high of $0.00005825 on November 19, 2024 per CoinGecko, a gain of nearly 700x, and traded near $0.0000026 at capture, about 95% below the high. It has done both directions at scale.
What would it take for BONK to reach $X?
With roughly 88 trillion tokens circulating, a price target maps directly to market cap. The multiples below are computed from the live market cap, so they never go stale.
- $0.000005~$440M cap1.8x
- $0.00001~$880M cap3.7x
- $0.000025~$2.2B cap9.2x
Can BONK reach $0.00001?
A price of $0.00001 on roughly 88 trillion tokens implies a market cap near $880 million, about four times the level at capture and roughly a fifth of what BONK was worth at its November 2024 peak, so the level is well within its history. Getting there would take a new Solana memecoin cycle of the kind that has lifted BONK twice before, LetsBonk.fun regaining launch share so the burn flow matters, and BonkDAO showing it has closed the governance hole that cost it $20 million. A token that has already been worth four times this target can get back there; it can also keep drifting. These are conditions, not predictions, and this is not financial advice.
To evaluate any BONK target: multiply it by roughly 88 trillion tokens, compare the implied market cap to the live figure on this page, and ask whether the Solana memecoin trade supports it. If it doesn't, the prediction doesn't hold.
How to buy Bonk (BONK) in Phantom
To buy BONK you need a Phantom self-custody wallet with SOL; the whole flow takes under five minutes. BONK is also listed on Binance, Coinbase, OKX, and most other major exchanges, but Phantom's in-wallet swap puts it straight into a wallet you control, on the chain where it lives.
- Install Phantom and secure your walletDownload Phantom as a mobile app (iOS or Android) or browser extension and create or import a wallet. Write your Secret Recovery Phrase on paper and store it offline; anyone who obtains it controls every asset in the wallet, and Phantom will never ask for it.
- Fund your wallet with SOLSOL covers the swap and the network fees, which run fractions of a cent. Buy it directly inside Phantom with a card or bank transfer, or send it from an exchange, and keep a small buffer so the transaction doesn't fail on fee coverage.
- Paste the mint address, and confirm the tickerIn the Swap tab, paste the full mint address as the receive token and confirm the name reads Bonk with the ticker BONK. Dog tokens riffing on the name are everywhere on Solana, and BONK exists in bridged form on ten other chains at other addresses; the Solana mint on this page is the original.
- Review the quote and confirmBONK has years of liquidity across many Solana pools, so ordinary orders fill with little price impact. Review the estimated output anyway, confirm, and BONK appears in your wallet once Solana confirms. Note that BONK has 5 decimals and trades at a fraction of a cent, so balances run into the millions of tokens.
Always verify the mint address
The legitimate mint address is the one shown on this page. Cross-reference it against the CoinGecko listing or Solscan rather than search results or social posts. The official channels are bonkcoin.com and @bonk_inu on X; treat any DM or "support" account as hostile, especially anything referencing the July 2026 treasury incident or a "recovery" airdrop. If the address does not match exactly, stop.
What buying BONK actually costs
Network fees are fractions of a cent; the real costs are the DEX swap fee and slippage, both small on a token this liquid. Holding BONK in Phantom earns nothing by itself; the launchpad's buybacks and burns benefit holders only through supply, and any staking or rewards programs run on the ecosystem's own sites rather than in your wallet.

What is Bonk?
Bonk (BONK) launched on December 25, 2022, when an anonymous group describing itself as 22 Solana developers and builders airdropped half of a 100 trillion token supply to the Solana community, in this page's words "as a gift" when "sentiment was low after the FTX crash." It became, as the page says, "Solana's main dog-themed memecoin" and the ecosystem's mascot, integrated across Solana's apps and exchanges, bridged to ten other chains, and listed on Binance, Coinbase, OKX, and most major venues (CoinGecko). Its supply has only shrunk since launch: burns of 278 billion tokens from the BonkBot trading bot's revenue share in April 2024 and 1.69 trillion tokens in the community's "BURNmas" of December 26, 2024, worth about $50 million at the time (DailyCoin), plus further burns in 2025, have taken the supply to about 88 trillion, with mint and freeze authority both revoked. BonkDAO holds about 15% of supply, and since April 25, 2025 the LetsBonk.fun launchpad on Raydium's LaunchLab has directed a reported 30% of its fees to BONK buybacks and burns (CoinGecko).
The price has told two stories. From an all-time low of $0.000000086 on December 29, 2022 the token rose to an all-time high of $0.00005825 on November 19, 2024, a market cap above $4 billion, then fell with the memecoin sector through 2025. On July 6, 2026 an attacker bought just over 1% of supply for about $4.4 million, used it to pass a malicious proposal in a seven-address vote, and drained roughly $20 million of BONK from the DAO treasury (CoinDesk); the DAO said it was working with exchanges and law enforcement on recovery. The price fell about 10% that day and roughly 40% more by capture, when BONK traded near $0.0000026 for a market cap of about $226 million, ranked around 157th, with about a million holders on this page, roughly $38 million of daily exchange volume, and top 20 wallets holding about half of supply per RugCheck. One buyer has been public about accumulating: Nasdaq-listed Safety Shot, whose BONK Holdings unit reported 2.7% of the circulating supply by October 2025 (GlobeNewswire).
Is BONK safe?
For a memecoin that is almost four years old and has survived two full cycles, safety comes down to three checks and one mindset.
- Mint, freeze, and metadata
- Mint and freeze authority are both revoked, so nobody can inflate the supply or freeze wallets, which you can confirm on Solscan; RugCheck scores the token at its lowest-risk tier with about 65% of tracked liquidity locked. The metadata remains mutable, common for a token from this era and cosmetic rather than a supply risk.
- Governance and treasury
- The July 2026 attack proved that BonkDAO's token-weighted, low-quorum voting can be bought, and the DAO still holds about 15% of supply. Until quorum rules or timelocks are shown to have changed, treat the treasury as an exposure rather than a backstop. Upbit's September 2026 delisting, which cited that breach, shows exchanges are treating it the same way.
- Concentration and cyclicality
- The top 20 wallets hold about half of supply, none labeled, and the price moves with the Solana memecoin cycle and with launchpad fee flows that have swung wildly within single quarters. A 95% drawdown from the 2024 high is the realized version of that risk.
The mindset: BONK has done 700x and lost 95%, in that order. Size any position for that range. Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase, and treat unsolicited DMs about airdrops, recovery, or support as theft attempts.

Bonk is Solana's original dog memecoin, launched on December 25, 2022 by an anonymous group of Solana developers who airdropped half of the 100 trillion token supply to the community after the FTX collapse. It became the ecosystem's mascot token, listed on nearly every major exchange and bridged to ten other chains, with a supply cut to about 88 trillion through burns and a launchpad, LetsBonk.fun, that funds further buybacks. The verified Solana mint address is the one shown on this page.
BONK is a real, widely listed token with revoked mint and freeze authority, RugCheck's lowest-risk score, deep liquidity, and years of history, but it carries real risks: it is 95% below its November 2024 high, its DAO lost about $20 million to a governance attack in July 2026, the top 20 wallets hold about half of supply, and its price moves with the Solana memecoin cycle. Only use funds you can afford to lose entirely. This is not financial advice.
Download Phantom as a mobile app or browser extension, fund your wallet with SOL, then open the Swap tab. Paste the mint address shown on this page as the token to receive instead of searching by name, and confirm the name reads Bonk with the ticker BONK. Review the estimated output and fee, then confirm; the tokens land in your wallet within seconds, and expect a balance in the millions, since BONK trades at a fraction of a cent.
Yes. SOL pays the Solana network fee on every transaction and is the token you'll usually swap from, so you need some in your Phantom wallet first. A few dollars' worth covers hundreds of transactions. You can buy SOL inside Phantom with a card or bank transfer, or send it from an exchange, then swap into BONK.
An anonymous group describing itself as 22 Solana developers and builders created BONK and airdropped half of the supply to Solana NFT collectors, developers, and artists on December 25, 2022. The team has never been publicly identified; governance runs through BonkDAO, which holds about 15% of supply and was the target of the July 2026 attack, and the ecosystem includes the LetsBonk.fun launchpad and the BonkBot trading bot, both of which have funded burns.
A price of $0.00001 on roughly 88 trillion tokens implies a market cap near $880 million, about four times the level at capture in September 2026 and roughly a fifth of the $4 billion BONK was worth at its November 2024 peak. Reaching it would take a new Solana memecoin cycle, LetsBonk.fun regaining launch share so buybacks matter, and BonkDAO demonstrating it has fixed the governance flaw exploited in July 2026. This is not a prediction or financial advice.
It is the memecoin Solana's ecosystem grew up around: an airdrop that lifted morale after FTX, integrations across the chain's apps, listings on every major exchange, a launchpad and a trading bot that burn it, and even a Nasdaq-listed company building a treasury of it. The trade-off is that it has become the sector's index, falling 95% with the memecoin market, and its DAO showed in July 2026 that a community treasury can be captured with a single purchase.
