After losing for almost nine days in a row, SOL traded at just over $8 on Friday before soaring back above $13 on Tuesday.

Bonk’s airdrop, which represented 50% of its token supply, most likely sparked a lot of community interest. A total of 20% of the airdrop supply is going to Solana NFT collections, which include 297,000 individual NFTs, and 10% is going to artists and collectors that specialize in Solana.

Earlier because of Solana’s strong ties to Sam Bankman-Fried, the discredited founder of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX and trading firm Alameda Research, selling pressure was created.

Social media users’ timelines are filled with references to Bonk. Airdrops, giveaways, memes, and comments on preserving and unifying the Solana community at this trying time are among the topics covered in the posts. However, among the numerous posts are also covert advertisements from shill accounts.

Despite this, interest in the project is growing, as shown by Bonk’s good price performance. So much so that Bonk was suggested as a potential platform integration candidate by Magic Eden, the largest NFT marketplace on Solana.

Although Bonk is gaining momentum, it is extremely possible that it will follow in the footsteps of other meme or dog-focused crypto tokens that frequently see a pump, a rapid drop, and little to no rebound. However, in the interim, it had assisted in the Solana ecosystem’s growth at a time when many crypto players believed it to be doomed.
