BONK-USD, Dec. 10 (CoinDesk)

What to know:

  • BONK fell 3.94% and lost the $0.00001000 psychological level despite strong early-session momentum.
  • Volume reached 1.61T tokens — 137% above average — during a failed breakout attempt at $0.000010273.
  • The December 11 dYdX governance vote on BONK integration remains a key near-term catalyst.

BONK declined 3.94% over the past 24 hours, sliding to $0.000009492 as the token broke below the psychological $0.00001000 threshold amid increased trading activity surrounding its pending dYdX governance vote.

The Solana-based memecoin rallied to $0.000010273, where volume jumped 137% above the 24-hour average to 1.61 trillion tokens during an attempted test of overhead resistance, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

That move failed to hold, with the token’s intraday trend reversing into a series of lower highs that produced multiple support breaks through the afternoon.

Despite the pullback, BONK found footing near $0.000009380 and stabilized into the session’s close, though attempts to regain lost ground remained limited. The upcoming Dec. 11 vote on a proposed BONK integration into the dYdX Chain added a layer of anticipation to market activity. Under the proposal, BONK would receive 50% of protocol trading fees in exchange for developing a dedicated frontend for the dYdX Chain—a step that could materially expand BONK’s utility footprint.

The measure is currently undergoing community review before entering the formal voting window.

The rejection at $0.000010273 created a resistance ceiling that shaped price direction for the remainder of the day, while support consolidation at $0.000009380 suggests a temporary equilibrium forming ahead of Wednesday’s governance developments. Volume patterns indicate heightened positioning rather than directional conviction, keeping BONK in a structurally fragile zone until it reclaims levels above $0.000009600.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Title Image

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

What to know:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
