Cryptocurrency Bonk Experiences 45% Decline Since Mid-July High, Breaching Crucial Support Level
The cryptocurrency world is abuzz with excitement as OpenPad AI's OPAD token makes its debut today on KuCoin and MEXC, coinciding with its Token Generation Event (TGE). Meanwhile, another memecoin, BONK, is closing in on a significant milestone – reaching 1 million holders.
As of now, the holder count for BONK stands at 974,838, just 2.52% shy of the 1 million milestone. This upcoming event is expected to trigger a 1 trillion BONK token burn, introducing deflationary pressure by reducing the circulating supply. This could help prevent price decay towards $0.000015 and potentially fuel a price rally.
The imminent token burn is not the only positive factor for BONK. Safety Shot, a Nasdaq-listed company, has announced that it is allocating $25 million in BONK tokens to its treasury. This makes Safety Shot the second publicly announced treasury to hold BONK, following MemeStrategy's initiative by Everything Blockchain.
Moreover, institutional interest in BONK is growing. Grayscale has included BONK on its Q3 2025 institutional watchlist, and there has been a 594% rise in smart money holdings since June.
Despite these positive drivers, BONK remains vulnerable to broader memecoin sector volatility and potential profit-taking at resistance levels near $0.00003. However, the team behind BONK has plans to counteract this. BonkFun’s DeFi integrations and gaming collaborations can expand ecosystem demand and drive ongoing token buybacks, providing ongoing deflationary support beyond the burn event itself.
In summary, the upcoming token burn combined with institutional interest and ecosystem expansion presents a strong case to limit downside risk near $0.000015 and support a bullish rebound. However, market volatility and slower growth could temper immediate gains, making the rally plausible but not guaranteed.
On a separate note, the HOPR crypto has seen a 18% increase in value, and Coinbase has listed the HOPR crypto, adding another feather to its cap.
