Institutional Demand Fuels BONK Breakout Amid Burn Plan, Holder Surge

Wall Street's latest meme darling isn't a stock—it's a dog-themed crypto punching above its weight.

BONK's 2025 surge defies gravity as hedge funds pile into the Solana-based token. Two catalysts fuel the frenzy: a deflationary burn mechanism kicking into high gear, and a 300% holder growth since January that's making Bitcoin whales look sluggish.

The burn plan—marketing genius or desperate tokenomics? Either way, it's working. Every transaction now incinerates 0.5% of BONK supply, creating artificial scarcity while 'institutional investors' (read: crypto VC tourists) chase the next Shiba Inu.

Retail traders aren't missing out either. Decentralized exchanges report BONK trading volumes eclipsing Ethereum classics like UNI and AAVE this week. Never underestimate the power of canine-themed FOMO combined with yield-hungry capital.

As one fund manager quipped: 'We used to measure risk in basis points—now we measure it in woofs.' The market's gone to the dogs, and for once, that might be bullish.
