Bonk is a dog-themed memecoin on the Solana blockchain, launched on Christmas Day 2022 to revitalize the Solana community following the FTX collapse. Created by an anonymous team of 22 Solana developers and builders, Bonk distributed 50% of its total 100 trillion token supply via airdrop to community members including NFT collectors, developers, and artists.   The project positions itself as "the first Solana dog coin for the people, by the people," explicitly rejecting venture capital backing in favor of grassroots community ownership. What sets Bonk apart from other memecoins is its combination of fair launch mechanics, extensive ecosystem integration, and active deflationary strategy.   Built on Solana, BONK benefits from fast transaction speeds and low fees that make it practical for everyday use. Native products include LetsBonk.fun (a memecoin launchpad that briefly became Solana's market leader in 2025, surpassing Pump.fun with over 78% market share), BonkSwap (a decentralized exchange) and BonkBot (a Telegram trading bot with built-in burn mechanics).   BONK is available across 10 blockchain networks and listed on major exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and Robinhood. Governance is handled by BonkDAO, which holds 15% of the token supply and makes decisions through on-chain voting.   The community has organized several major burn events, most notably the December 2024 BURNmas campaign that destroyed 1.69 trillion tokens worth over $50 million. In September 2025, Nasdaq-listed Safety Shot, Inc. formed BONK Holdings LLC and acquired over 2.5% of the circulating supply (valued at $55-63 million), making BONK one of the first memecoins to attract formal corporate treasury adoption. Core contributor Nom was appointed to Safety Shot's board, and the company holds a 10% revenue share in LetsBonk.fun.  As with all memecoins, BONK is a highly speculative asset with substantial volatility. Its value is primarily driven by community sentiment, social media momentum, and meme culture rather than traditional utility.   The anonymous team, while common in the memecoin space, means investors should exercise appropriate caution. Despite these risks, Bonk has established itself as one of the most successful community-driven tokens in the Solana ecosystem, approaching 1 million unique holders and expanding from a simple memecoin into meaningful DeFi infrastructure.

BONK

BONK is trending as community members maintain high optimism, frequently highlighting potential upcoming token burns and betting on the asset to lead a broader rally among established meme coins. Investors are actively sharing bullish price predictions while debating the project's long-term utility versus its speculative nature.

Among the top chip stocks, a few still appear relatively attractive.Amongst Intel, Advanced Micro Devices and Broadcom, analysts are recommending loading up on the latter two. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios of AMD and Broadcom are also more attractive than Intel's, which has the second-highest P/E ratio in&nbsp;the Nasdaq-100.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Why AVGO Stands Out</h2>Broadcom is a standout in the group. The company recently expanded its partnership with Google and will now produce AI chips for the search giant through 2031. That came close on the heels of a similar deal with Meta Platforms, turning analysts more bullish on the chip-maker’s prospects, given the significant tie-ups with all major hyperscalers, which are funding the AI and data center boom.Intel shares have rallied on a mix&nbsp;of AI narrative shift, deal momentum, and turnaround optimism. The chip maker has been showing progress in its foundry business – long a source of concern – with the release of PC chips using its advanced 18A process and a steady stream of high-profile partnerships across cloud and AI customers.AMD, Nvidia’s primary rival in the AI server market, is rallying alongside broader optimism around AI-driven data center spending. Sentiment got a major boost in February when the company struck a $100 billion infrastructure and investment deal with Meta, while anticipation is building around its upcoming MI400 and MI450 processors.&nbsp;<div><figure class="table"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col><col><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>Gain From 52-Week Low</td><td>Analyst Buy Calls</td><td>Average Upside Projection</td><td>Forwards 12-Month P/E Ratio</td></tr><tr><td>Intel</td><td>260%</td><td>&nbsp; 9/47</td><td>22.10%</td><td>121.3</td></tr><tr><td>AMD</td><td>228%</td><td>35/48</td><td>6.40%</td><td>41</td></tr><tr><td>Broadcom</td><td>147%</td><td>44/47</td><td>19%</td><td>29.7</td></tr></tbody></table></figure></div>Source: Koyfin Here’s what analysts are expecting for their upcoming earnings:Intel&nbsp; Results: April 23, after the market close Revenue: $122.43 billion, down 2% Profit: $0.01 per share, down 90%AMD Results: May 5, after the market close Revenue: $9.87 billion, up 38% Profit: $1.28 per share, up 33%Broadcom Results: TBA Revenue: $22.06 billion, up 47% Profit: $2.39 per share, up 51%<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Intel, AMD, Broadcom Chips Differ?</h2>Intel, AMD, and Broadcom operate at very points in the semiconductor stack.Intel is still one of the largest integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), meaning it designs and manufactures its own chips, with massive fabrication facilities and a broad footprint spanning PCs, servers, and increasingly foundry services for third parties.&nbsp;AMD, by contrast, is fabless – it designs chips but outsources manufacturing (primarily to TSMC). In terms of scale, Intel has historically led in revenue and manufacturing depth, but AMD has narrowed the gap in market value and influence through strong execution in CPUs and data center chips.&nbsp;Broadcom sits differently: it’s not a direct CPU competitor but a diversified semiconductor and infrastructure software giant,&nbsp;On products and sub-sectors, Intel and AMD overlap heavily in CPUs and data center processors, with AMD also strong in GPUs and AI accelerators. Intel is rebuilding its position in GPUs and AI chips.&nbsp;Broadcom, however, dominates in networking, connectivity, and custom silicon,&nbsp; and makes chips for data center switching, broadband, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth tailored for hyperscaler workloads.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.&nbsp;

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>A U.S. district court has certified a class action lawsuit against Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang over disclosures tied to crypto-related GPU sales.</li><li>The lawsuit alleges Nvidia understated the extent of gaming revenue linked to cryptocurrency mining between 2017 and 2019.</li><li>Plaintiffs argue that Nvidia’s stock decline in November 2018 reflected previously undisclosed crypto exposure.</li><li>Nvidia has maintained that crypto mining accounted for only a limited portion of its overall business.</li></ul>Nvidia (NVDA) and CEO Jensen Huang are facing renewed legal scrutiny after a U.S. federal judge certified a class action lawsuit accusing the chipmaker and Huang of misleading investors about how much of its gaming GPU revenue was driven by crypto mining between 2017 and 2019.According to the&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.336305/gov.uscourts.cand.336305.288.0.pdf">filing</a>, a federal judge in California granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. This allows investors to proceed collectively in pursuing claims that Nvidia failed to disclose the scale of crypto-related demand embedded within its gaming business and misled shareholders about exposure to cryptocurrency mining.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NVDA">NVDA stock&nbsp;</a>edged 0.1% lower in pre-market trade on Thursday amid weakness in the broader market. Retail sentiment around Nvidia on Stocktwits moved lower within ‘bearish’ territory over the past day, accompanied by chatter at ‘low’ levels.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_03_26_060844_png_96c7fe55d5.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-03-26 060844.png" width="1363" height="130"><figcaption>NVDA retail sentiment and message volume on March 26 as of 6:05 a.m. ET | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">Nvidia Lawsuit Extends Eight-Year Run</h2>The lawsuit, first filed in 2018, alleges that Nvidia concealed more than $1 billion in GPU sales linked to cryptocurrency mining and that Huang downplayed the extent of that exposure. Plaintiffs argue that this led investors to underestimate the company’s vulnerability to swings in crypto demand.In the Wednesday order, U.S. District Judge Haywood S. Gilliam Jr. said Nvidia failed to demonstrate that its statements about crypto mining revenue had no impact on its stock price.After the case was initially&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1045810/000104581026000021/R21.htm">dismissed</a> in 2021, it was revived on appeal and later survived a challenge at the Supreme Court. The latest ruling now allows the case to proceed toward trial. Instead of individual investors chasing allegations separately, a class certification allows them to pursue claims collectively.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Dispute Over Role Of Crypto Mining In Nvidia’s Gaming Revenue</h2>Since the lawsuit was initially filed in 2018, Nvidia’s position has been that crypto mining represented a relatively small portion of its business and that mining-related demand was largely tracked outside its core gaming segment.However, according to the plaintiffs, a large portion of crypto-driven sales flowed through Nvidia’s GeForce gaming GPUs and was recorded within the gaming division, leaving the company more exposed to crypto market cycles than disclosed.The filing points to Nvidia cutting its guidance in August 2018 after citing excess inventory and a drop in crypto-related demand. It also noted that Nvidia’s chief financial officer, Colette Kress, said following November that gaming performance fell short due to the slower sell-through of “post crypto channel inventory” and delayed price normalization following a “sharp crypto falloff.”According to the complaint, Nvidia’s stock declined by about 28.5% over the two trading sessions following the November announcement, indicating a delayed recognition of the tech giant's cryptocurrency exposure. The certified class includes investors who purchased Nvidia shares between August 10, 2017, and November 15, 2018. A case management conference is scheduled for April 21, when the court is expected to outline the next steps.“Investors who purchased NVIDIA in the 2017-2018 timeframe have done incredibly well, as our corporate strategy unfolded as we consistently predicted. We will address the complaint in court," an Nvidia spokesperson told Stocktwits in a statement.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-of-ai-hits-4-month-high-after-early-uber-investor-predicts-200x-rally/cZ3Yvk1RISv">‘Bitcoin Of AI’ Hits 4-Month High After Early Uber Investor Jason Calacanis Predicts 200x Rally For TAO</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Editor's Note: The story has been updated with a comment from Nvidia on the allegations.
