Buyers reentered at these levels, building technical support around $0.0000197 and driving prices back into a narrow consolidation band between $0.0000203 and $0.0000205.

Corporate participation helped reinforce market confidence. Safety Shot Inc., a Nasdaq-listed company, confirmed a $30 million financing arrangement on Aug. 25, with $25 million denominated in BONK tokens. The deal reflects rising interest in meme coins as part of broader corporate finance strategies, underscoring BONK’s role as a key Solana-based alternative to established meme assets.

BONK showed signs of resilience on Tuesday, edging from $0.0000203 to $0.0000204 (a modest 0.3% gain). Notably, between 11:49 and 11:56 UTC, trading activity accelerated, with more than 17.5 billion tokens exchanged, suggesting liquidity remains robust even during periods of consolidation.

This balance between institutional adoption and heightened volatility positions BONK as a closely watched meme token within the Solana ecosystem.
