BONK Price Breakout After Upbit Listing

Earlier today, South Korea’s largest crypto exchange Upbit announced the launch of BONK’s Korean Won trading market. The listing will significantly boost trading volume for the meme coin driving BONK price even higher.

The South Korean exchange also announced that deposits and withdrawals are only supported through the guided network (BONK-Solana). Also, with Korean crypto investors having a greater appetite for meme coins and altcoins, this development could bode well for the entire BONK community.

Interestingly, this development came at a time when the South Korean crypto exchange is facing a probe over KYC violations. The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has identified more than 500,000 instances of inadequate customer verification by Upbit.

The recent BONK price surge shows a strong breakout from its previous highs. Analysts predicts another 100% rally to take the BONK market cap to more than $10 billion.

Among the list of top meme coins, BONK ranks 4th currently. However, it might challenge the likes of Pepe Coin (PEPE) in the future.

Over the past two days, the whale has spent 3.4 million USDC stablecoin to acquire 65.4 billion BONK tokens. This signals the growing confidence in the meme coin’s potential to continue the BONK price rally further.

BONK price currently trades at $0.0000559, with a 24-hour high and low of $0.00004882 and $0.00005916, respectively. With today’s rally, BONK has already extended its weekly gains to more than 75%. It competes with 53% weekly gains by Pepe coin as its trading activity surged to eight-month highs.
