Arthur Hayes Sees Bonk Topping Shiba Inu
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes in a post on X predicted that Bonk (BONK) meme coin will flip Shiba Inu (SHIB) to become the 2nd largest dog-themed meme coin.
It follows after Bonk was listed on Coinbase, Binance, Crypto.com and other top crypto exchanges last week. Bonk price rallied over 1000% in a month. However, the price has now dropped from ATH of $0.0000341 to $0.0000201 amid profit booking. Also, the Saga Mobile phones sold out amid massive demand due to Bonk airdrop.
