Bonk Coin (BONK) made a late run at being the most successful project of 2023 as it hit an all-time high on December 15th amid bullish conditions. The meme coin, which is primarily traded within the Solana (SOL) ecosystem, experienced an incredible 19,450% price surge from October 19 to December 15th, where, as we mentioned, it hit its highest-ever price.
Unfortunately for investors, it is now coming back down to earth slightly. Since the turn of the year, it is now down over 50% from its end-of-year price, and everyone is wondering if we are looking at another Pepe Coin (PEPE) scenario where a meme coin has a crazy peak but then, over time, loses a lot of its worth.
Another reason for BONK stumbling may be because of Meme Kombat ($MK). This new meme coin is going through presale and is starting to draw attention from what seems like the whole market. It is a long time since a presale coin has gotten this much attention and we are very excited for its official launch.
Before taking a look at Bonk Coin’s situation, let’s take a look at this coin that could surpass its achievements.
Meme Kombat- The P2E/meme coin crossover that could dominate the market
We have already mentioned the meme part of this exciting new project, but it is actually a meme coin/ P2E game crossover. We really like this move by Meme Kombat ($MK) as 2023 was certainly the year that meme coins stole all the attention, one of the sectors that suffered from this was the p2E one, which hasn’t had a new release that captured the market’s attention in quite some time.
That is why combining a P2E game with a meme coin is a savvy move by the project. If the presale is anything to go by it is a move that is working. The presale has just reached $6 million raised, which is a very impressive sum indeed and will certainly have other meme coin projects very worried.
Something that might be driving the initial interest is the dynamic staking system that has already proved very profitable for investors. Dynamic staking is a gamble that a project takes where they back their own coin to be successful. The more investors that stake their tokens, the more rewards that stakers will receive.
It’s a great incentive that can cause a snowball effect that benefits everyone. As things stand, around 25 million tokens have already been staked, which is 77% of the total amount of $Mk purchased. This has led to over 4.6 million of $MK rewards already being paid out.
Meme Kombat is getting closer and closer to showing our hand.
So with that said, here’s a little recap of our latest updates👇 pic.twitter.com/Mhzc7UOmu1

What makes the game stand out from its competitors?
So the ecosystem is solid, but that’s not enough to draw in all these investors. It is the game they are investing in. After all, it is the most excited we have been for a game launch in quite some time. We always like it when blockchain games take inspiration from a traditional gaming giant as it opens up their potential player base to a whole new audience outside of crypto circles.
In this case, Meme Kombat has been inspired by one of the greatest combat gaming franchises of all time: Mortal Kombat. Just like in that game, players will be battling with different fighters in different backdrops. The brilliant twist, however, is that the fighters in Meme Kombat are the market’s biggest memes from the last 10 years.
From Wojak to Pepe, they will all be available and have their own special moves and attributes that help them stand out in different ways. AI technology is a big part of the game and gives each fighter almost lifelike movements that aid the overall experience players will have. It also helps make sure fight outcomes are fair and unbiased.
This is important as we get to our favorite part of the game, wagering. Not only is there endless entertainment to be had just playing Meme Kombat, but players can also win big by wagering on the outcome of fights.
There are lots of different avenues here too. Bet 1v1 against the computer, bet against a friend or fellow player, or even a side bet. Side betting is a way players can bet on fight events other than the final outcome for example, what the first move will be. As you can see there are so many positive factors about this project that it is no surprise it is being tipped to be one the best-performing meme coins of 2024.
Will Bonk Coin ever return to its all-time high price?
As we can see from Bonk Coin’s (BONK) 7-day performance chart, 2024 has not started the same way that 2023 ended for the meme coin. Despite an uptick in the price today, it still remains considerably down from its close-of-year price.
Comparisons have been drawn with Pepe Coin (PEPE), and unfortunately, they do seem very familiar. Both pumped quite suddenly and very fast to make them almost overnight sensations. However, the ‘what comes up must come down rule’ applied to both meme coins as they quickly lost their value.
Bonk coin will be hoping that its price surge was not solely because of Coinbase and Binance listing the meme coin on their respective exchanges. This is a pattern we see in crypto a lot where coins are added to the exchanges, they initially surge, but then the effect wears off, and they come back to earth.
A positive for Bonk Coin that Pepe Coin doesn’t have is its association with a major altcoin. As Bonk is primarily traded within the Solana (SOL) ecosystem, it is likely to reflect a lot of the altcoin’s price movements. Solana finished 2023 very strongly, and if that form continues into this year, then Bink Coin could get back to its highs of December.
Conclusion
So there you have our analysis of two of the top trending meme coins of the year so far. Both are in the news, but they might both be on different trajectories. As Bonk Coin begins to struggle, the Meme Kombat presale goes from strength to strength. If we were to pick one coin to be at the top of the meme coin ladder in 2024, it would be Meme Kombat.
