Bonk DAO, a memecoin project on the Solana network, has taken a significant step by burning 84 billion BONK tokens from its treasury.
This move is aimed at reducing the circulating supply and strengthening the long-term value of the crypto asset. The announcement, made on July 8 via the official X (formerly Twitter) DAO account, was a turning point for the community.
BONK DAO received a proposal to burn ~84 billion BONK from its Treasury, representing the amount of BONK sent to the DAO by BONKBot in Q2.
All BONKs blocked on BonkRewards can now vote on community proposals.

Token burning involves permanently removing crypto assets from circulation, often by sending them to inaccessible wallets. This strategy aims to create scarcity, potentially increasing the value of the remaining tokens. The recent burn is part of a larger effort by Bonk DAO to effectively manage its supply, following a similar event in April that saw 278 billion BONK tokens burned.
Following the announcement, BONK’s price has seen a significant increase. According to the latest data, BONK is trading at $0.00002414 with a trading volume of $301,106,295, representing a 3.38% increase in the last 24 hours. Over the last week, BONK has seen a price increase of 18.29%, making it the market’s top gainer among altcoins.
The market reaction to the recent token burn has been cautiously optimistic among investors and analysts. Technical indicators including the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) and the relative strength index (RSI) point to a balanced market sentiment.

Currently, the MACD line shows a slight advantage over the signal line, indicating a moderately bullish trend in the near term. Meanwhile, the RSI, hovering around 50.86, reflects a neutral stance, suggesting that the market is neither overbought nor oversold. These indicators provide a detailed view of the current market conditions following the recent strategic token burn.
The combination of these indicators indicates a stable market environment for BONK with potential for gradual growth. The active participation of the community in proposals and voting reflects a robust governance model, further strengthening the credibility of the project.
