<p>In a surprising turn of events, the Solana-based dog-themed memecoin, Bonk (<a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/solana-traders-strike-gold-with-bonk-airdrop/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BONK</a>), has climbed the ranks to become the third-largest memecoin by market capitalization. This unexpected surge occurred on December 8th, as Bonk’s recent price growth soared by an impressive 370% in just the last month.&nbsp;</p>
<p>CoinGecko <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bonk" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">data</a> now reveals that Bonk boasts a market capitalization of $762 million, surpassing its fellow memecoin competitor, Pepe, which currently stands at $675 million.</p>
<p>Over the past 30 days, Bonk has experienced remarkable growth, going from a mere $0.0000028 to $0.000012. This exponential surge in value has attracted traders eager to capitalize on the newfound interest within the Solana ecosystem.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Notably, Bonk’s rapid price uptick has outpaced more established dog-themed memecoins like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE), which managed respective gains of 20% and 35% during the same timeframe.</p>

<p>As of the time of this publication, Bonk stands as the third-largest memecoin in the market, trailing behind DOGE and SHIB, which command substantial market caps of $6 billion and $14.4 billion, respectively. Several factors contributed to Bonk’s recent gains, including its listing on prominent centralized exchanges like Binance and KuCoin.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Moreover, futures data indicates a substantial increase in open interest over the past month, suggesting that traders are actively buying and selling high volumes of Bonk derivatives, further amplifying the token’s price volatility.</p>
<p>Bonk made its debut on December 29, 2022, and quickly garnered attention by witnessing an astonishing 3,766% increase in value within its first week of trading, despite the challenging price conditions of the bear market.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, from January 5th, Bonk experienced a decline, with its price remaining stagnant at levels near its all-time lows for a significant portion of the year.</p>

<p>The turning point for Bonk came on October 21, 2023, when signs of improvement began to manifest, leading to a dramatic increase in its value. Since that pivotal date, Bonk has achieved an astounding 6,215% growth, solidifying its position as the top-performing mid-cap memecoin over the last three months.</p>
