BONK traded within an 8% intraday range, reflecting persistent volatility, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model.

Institutional confidence in Solana continues to grow. Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital, and Jump Crypto are spearheading a $1 billion Solana investment fund, supported by Cantor Fitzgerald’s infrastructure. The initiative exceeds existing Solana allocations by 150%, and could channel significant liquidity into Solana-native projects, with BONK among the ecosystem’s most actively traded tokens.

Separately, beverage company Safety Shot recently completed a $25 million BONK allocation to finance the majority of a $30 million raise. While the announcement came earlier this week, it remains a milestone for meme coin adoption in corporate treasury management. Together, these developments demonstrate how BONK is moving beyond its origins into institutional conversations about liquidity and diversification.
