Is BONK the new king of meme coins? While Shiba Inu once dominated, BONK, a leading meme token on the Solana blockchain, has quickly gained prominence in both social media discussions and trading volumes. Forget Shiba Inu, Solana\'s BONK is winning social media!

Forget Shiba Inu, a new dog-themed token is stealing the spotlight. Leveraging Solana’s low fees and fast transaction speeds, BONK has surpassed major memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, becoming a serious Solana player.

The Bonk (code: BONK) is a Shiba Inu-themed cryptocurrency built on the Solana blockchain, seen as the first dog coin in the Solana ecosystem. But unlike its predecessors, BONK has ignited a unique frenzy. A more than 70% surge since Sunday has catapulted bonk to the third-largest dog-themed token behind foremost dogecoin (DOGE) and shiba inu (SHIB).

So, what\'s driving this surge? Since its launch in December 2025, Bonk has captured the attention of crypto enthusiasts and the broader social media world. The Shiba Inu inspired meme coin, Bonk Inu, launched on Christmas day and took Solana by storm. Pumping 3,200% in only a few weeks, it revived the ecosystem and injected fresh energy into the Solana community.

BONK\'s success can be attributed to several factors, including Coinbase listing speculation, program inclusion rumors, and expanding trading pair connections. The meme coin, inspired by predecessors like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, has capitalized on a robust community and viral marketing to achieve a market cap of $2.04 billion.

Which doggy memecoin has the highest number of social engagements today? While historical data showed Shiba Inu garnered 61.8 percent votes while the others ranged from lower percentages, BONK is currently trending and generating immense buzz, challenging the established order. It\'s no longer just about Shiba Inu; the future of meme coins may very well be on Solana with BONK.
