BONK list on Binance – The “largest meme coin on Solana” surged over 100% in the last 24 hours after Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, announced it would be listing Bonk Inu on its platform.
Following the listing announcement, BONK spiked from $0.000014 to over $0.00003033, rising 101.9% in a single day. The meme coin has seen even larger gains in recent weeks, up 629% over the last 14 days.

In its official announcement, Binance stated it will open BONK spot trading against Tether (USDT), Binance USD (BUSD), and Turkish Lira (TRY) on December 15, 2023, at 08:00 UTC. Withdrawals will become available one day later, on December 16.
Binance also revealed it will add BONK as a borrowable asset on its Isolated Margin trading platform within 48 hours of the listing. This will introduce a new BONK/USDT margin pair.
The exchange cautioned users that, as a relatively new token, BONK may exhibit higher volatility and risks compared to more established cryptocurrencies. It applied a “seed tag” to designate BONK as an innovative but speculative project.
BONK List on Binance – Will BONK dethrone Shiba Inu?
The recent price surge comes on the heels of BONK introducing single-sided staking on December 1. The meme coin was also listed on Coinbase, sparking a 50% single-day rally on December 14.
Despite its recent meteoric rise, the meme coin still faces stiff competition from the top meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which sport much larger market capitalizations. At press time, BONK’s market cap stands at $1.7 billion, compared to $5.8 billion for SHIB.
Now listed on both Coinbase and Binance, the two largest crypto trading platforms, the coin appears positioned for heightened visibility and liquidity influx. However, dethroning Shiba Inu seems to be a distant goal at the moment.
