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 the community discusses potential catalysts including the upcoming Q3 earnings report, a possible rebound in price, and speculation around a BONK ETF. Some traders are pointing to the strong Solana ecosystem and growing community support as reasons for optimism, while others highlight the upcoming 1 Trillion token burn. Community members are debating potential price movements and optimal entry points.

He noted that while gold may underperform in normal conditions like cash, it remains essential for portfolio diversification and protection against systemic financial risks.&nbsp;“Most investors don’t own any,” he wrote, emphasizing the need for a baseline allocation in gold.

When debt levels outpaced the gold supply, Dalio noted, “the monetary system broke down,” leading either to deflationary depressions or currency devaluation.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Strategic Allocation Over Speculation</h2>For investors, Dalio recommends viewing gold as a strategic asset rather than a speculative one. “When investors ask me if they should buy or sell gold based on whether I think it will go up or down, I tell them that’s a tactical, secondary question,” he wrote.&nbsp;He suggested holding between 5% and 15% of a portfolio in gold, depending on the investor’s risk profile and other assets. “Any deviations from that portfolio should only take place if the investor believes that they have better abilities to market-time which investments are better than others. Most investors don’t have this ability, so they should just stick with their strategic asset allocation mix,” he wrote.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Gold As A Hedge Against Confiscation And Crisis</h2>Dalio also cited gold’s low confiscation risk as a key advantage.“It is the toughest money to grab because it can be held in one’s own secure possession, unlike all other monies that require others to make payments of money to give them value. It can’t be stolen in cyberattacks.”&nbsp;Dalio’s guidance builds on his earlier&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ray-dalio-gold-replace-us-treasury-holdings/ch6silwR38x">views</a> that while gold may underperform in normal economic conditions, it remains an essential “fundamental money” that most investors overlook, and a critical hedge against systemic financial risk.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-dips-triggers-800-million-in-crypto-liquidations-after-powells-warning/cLGFrJnR3Dy">Bitcoin Dips, Triggers $800 Million In Crypto Liquidations After Powell’s December Warning</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com

President Donald Trump on Monday dismissed speculation that gold would face tariffs, after the chatter helped push gold futures to a record high last week.“Gold will not be tariffed,” Trump wrote in a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115011325631302905">post</a> on Truth Social. The post comes after the White House said that an executive order would be issued to clarify any “misinformation” around the tariff on gold bars and other other products on Friday.However, no formal policy had yet been posted by U.S. agencies or by the White House as of Monday afternoon. &nbsp;<figure class="image"><a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115011325631302905" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img style="aspect-ratio:1080/495;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_08_11_23_10_26_92_cde5c65545eefd12266f03d3caad4d92_jpg_5304c0481f.webp" alt="Screenshot_2025-08-11-23-10-26-92_cde5c65545eefd12266f03d3caad4d92.jpg" width="1080" height="495"></a><figcaption>Source: @realDonaldTrump/TruthSocial</figcaption></figure>Confusion ensued last week after the Financial Times&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/78be1315-608d-43c6-b8e7-80b9e18c5ce7">reported</a> that documents from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said one-kilo and 100-ounce gold bars should be classified under a customs code subject to levies. Following the report, gold futures hit a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gold-futures-hit-record-high-as-us-plans-tariffs-for-gold-bars/chrnOuBRdEr">record high</a> of $3,534 on Friday.&nbsp;On Monday, gold futures fell more than 2.4% in afternoon trade, and spot&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/XAUUSD">gold prices</a> were down 1.2%.

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around&nbsp;XAU/USD fell to ‘bearish’ from ‘bullish’ territory a week ago.If the Customs and Border Protection ruling had stayed in place, it would have resulted in far-reaching implications for the precious metal around the world. Gold’s role as a financial asset and global currency makes it markedly different from other commodities, such as copper, that have been impacted by Trump’s tariffs.Gold has had a volatile run this year as demand for the safe-haven asset has ebbed and flowed with Trump’s tariff announcements. Gold prices have gained 27% in 2025 and more than 38% over the past 12 months.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-declares-liberation-day-in-dc-pushes-takeover-of-city-police/chrHGOoRdee">Trump Declares ‘Liberation Day’ in DC, Pushes Takeover Of City Police</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
