Bitcoin OG Kyle Chassé predicts that BONK, a meme-themed project on the Solana blockchain, will surpass Shiba Inu in terms of growth and adoption. Chassé believes that meme tokens are driving the adoption of cryptocurrencies, citing the success of Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe. BONK has experienced explosive growth, surging 13,623% in the last 90 days, while Shiba Inu and Dogecoin saw much smaller gains. The recent listing of BONK on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase has further boosted its prominence. The surge in BONK's value is attributed to a 30 million BONK token airdrop available to those who download the Bonk app through the Saga phone dApp store, creating an arbitrage opportunity.

Pepe Coin (PEPE) has become the second-most traded meme token in the world, with a 24-hour trading volume of $212 million. Despite a recent drop in price, PEPE's high trading volume suggests that it may see further rallies in the future, particularly if it gains more exchange listings. However, some traders may prefer to look at newer meme tokens like SpongeBob (SPONGE), which has enjoyed gains of over 2,000% since listing on Uniswap on May 4 and has recently celebrated listings on several exchanges. SPONGE has a smaller supply than many other meme coins and could potentially rise to $0.0006 and $0.0007 in the next few weeks with more exchange listings.
