Solana’s second biggest canine meme coin, Bonk ($BONK), tumbled 8.5% overnight as meme coins take some of the heaviest losses amidst a market-wide dip.
Bonk now trades at $0.00002525. At this price, it’s about 7% more expensive than it was last week.

Solana projects that posted notable seven-day appreciation include DogWifHat ($WIF), which grew 30%. Book of Meme ($BOME) rallied 27% and Popcat ($POPCAT) mushroomed a staggering 45% over the week.
These gains far outdo the top performers among non-Solana meme coins. Original meme/canine coin Dogecoin ($DOGE) only added 14.5% over the seven days while Pepe Coin ($PEPE) added 21%.
BONK’s trading chart for the last three months begins with the token setting an all-time high (ATH) of $0.00004547 on March 4, although today’s price represents a 44.5% pullback since then.
