What Happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based coin accumulated gains of more than 13% in the last 24 hours, outperforming not just the established memecoins, but blue-chip currencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) as well.

Bonk's trading volume surged 132% to $329.16 million in the last 24 hours, significantly more than coins with a higher market cap like Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) and Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA)

With the latest uptick, BONK's weekly gains have risen to 17.52%.
