How Solana Meme Token BONK Sharp Selloff Will Impact SOL Price?

Solana price has rallied nearly 40% in a week amid the hype regarding Solana’s first meme token BONK. Meme token BONK relies on the airdrop to Solana NFT, anti-Alameda Research sentiment, and the revival of Solana DEX culture to improve the community. Will this Solana rally sustain despite the selloff in BONK tokens airdropped to Solana users?

Solana Price Rally Amid BONK Token Hype

Solana suffered massive negative sentiment due to relations with Alameda and FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. The Solana price even saw massive selloffs in the last few weeks. However, the airdrop of Solana’s first meme token BONK lifted the SOL token as the meme token was compared to Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which recorded massive rallies during the bull market.

BONK witnessing the highest trading volume in the Solana ecosystem after USDC and SOL in the past 24 hours. Several crypto exchanges such as Huobi and MEXC Global also surprisingly announced listing the meme cryptocurrency amid the rising community interest.

However, the top 20 holders of BONK accounted for about 50% of the total supply, as per a Dune dashboard. Moreover, BONK DAO accounted for 15% of the total supply and a substantial part was obtained from airdrops at zero cost. Thus, the possibility of a sharp sell-off is higher and could occur at any time.

Also, a broader acceptance from the NFT market should be considered as it is the driving factor behind the BONK token rally. A sharp selloff by BONK holders may cause the SOL price to dive again to $10.
