As the crypto market looks toward a recovery and the likes of Solana make their way out of losses, a crypto trader has called out one meme coin that could be a great play as the SOL price recovers. The BONK meme coin, currently the largest meme coin in the Solana ecosystem and billed for triggering the revival of the blockchain, continues to receive a lot of support as a meme coin that could outperform as the market ushers in the next altcoin season.
Solana’s BONK Meme Coin Is The Play
Crypto analyst and trader Unipcs became popular in crypto circles on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) after turning $16,000 into more than $10 million with a long BONK trade. Despite making what many have referred to as a life-changing trade, the trader has refused to close this trade, with the expectation that the meme coin will continue to rise.
In a recent post, Unipcs has once again reiterated his support for the BONK meme coin and why he believes it’s a great play to be involved in. The post mainly points to bullish developments surrounding the Solana ecosystem and why BONK could be a way to maximize gains as the Solana price rallies.
The first bullish development the crypto analyst points to is the fact that a Solana ETF is expected to hit the market soon. When this happens, the Solana price is expected to recover in response, possibly rising toward new all-time highs, something that would translate into more bullishness for meme coins domiciled on the blockchain.
As for BONK, Unipcs explained that the meme coin acts as a 3X leveraged bet on the Solana price. This is because historically, the BONK price has often risen 3X higher than any gains that Solana puts in. Its highly volatile nature as a meme coin also contributes to this, as it is prone to rapid bursts of rising prices, the same way it is prone to quick crashes.
Furthermore, the expectations of a Solana ETF being approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are not the only thing propelling the bullishness of BONK. BONK, itself, also has a pending ETF filing with the commission, and the approval of a Solana ETF increases the likelihood of a BONK ETF approval, giving the meme coin even more fuel to rally.
Given these bullish factors, the crypto analyst believes that being in BONK could be a good play, especially as the price remains 75% below its all-time high. “Ff we do get Solana season soon, you do not want to be underexposed to BONK,” Unipcs said in closing.
