What is BONK?
Bonk (BONK) is a community meme coin on Solana. It launched in late 2022 with a community airdrop that distributed 50% of its total supply to Solana community members, including developers, non-fungible token (NFT) participants and decentralized finance (DeFi) users.
In simple terms, BONK is not a separate blockchain. It’s a Solana-based asset shaped by its community-first launch and activity across the Solana ecosystem.
How to buy BONK in the US
In the Crypto.com App, the basic flow is:
- Sign up and complete account verification.
- Deposit funds or choose an available payment method.
- Tap 'Buy' and select Bonk.
- Enter the amount, review the order details and confirm when ready.
Trading is subject to account verification and eligibility. For a One-Time Buy order, the quoted conversion rate is valid for 15 seconds; if you don’t confirm in that window, the rate refreshes.
Do you need to buy a whole BONK token?
No. The Crypto.com App supports fractional Bonk purchases, so you don’t need to buy a full token. For One-Time orders, the minimum buy or sell amount is the equivalent of US$1.
Before confirming, check that the amount, payment method and quote match what you intend to do. Once a One-Time order has been placed, it can’t be cancelled because it’s executed immediately.
What payment methods can you use for BONK?
For US users buying Bonk, payment routes can include bank transfer using US dollars (USD), credit/debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto transferred to your wallet. ACH and wire transfer are bank-transfer options noted for US users.
Payment method availability may vary by jurisdiction. If you deposit USD directly by Local Bank Transfer to buy Bonk, you can avoid foreign exchange fees. Other transaction fees and spread may apply, so review costs before confirming.
