BONK Sinks 5% as Institutional Liquidation Intensifies

Memecoin bloodbath continues as BONK takes a 5% hit—institutional whales are dumping, but retail hodlers cling to hopium.

Who's left holding the bag?

Wall Street's usual 'buy high, sell low' strategy strikes again—just as retail starts FOMO-ing into the 'next DOGE.' Meanwhile, crypto Twitter insists this is 'healthy consolidation' before the next leg up. Sure it is.

Pro tip: When hedge funds zig, maybe it's time to zag. Or just grab popcorn and watch the leverage get liquidated.
