- Institutional Interest Rises: Grayscale Investments has added BONK to its quarterly Assets Under Consideration list, marking the first evaluation of this Solana meme coin by a major traditional finance asset manager, potentially paving the way for future investment products.
- Positive Market Reaction: BONK has surged 6% over the past 24 hours, reflecting a favorable market response to Grayscale's consideration, which may attract more institutional investors to this micro-cap coin.
- Investment Product Potential: A BONK investment product would provide a regulated on-ramp for pensions, hedge funds, and registered investment advisors, mitigating risks associated with decentralized exchanges and self-custody wallets, thereby enhancing market liquidity.
- Price Target Analysis: With BONK currently priced at $0.00001149, reaching $1.00 would require an 87,000x increase, which seems improbable; however, the influx of institutional capital could trigger retail FOMO, driving the price upward.
