XRP News Today: Investors Bet Big on BONK's Meme Magic and APC's 10,001% Presale Promise

Analysts are closely monitoring BONK, the Solana-based meme coin, as it approaches a potential price target of $0.00003, while Arctic Pablo Coin (APC), in its 39th presale stage, offers early investors a 300% bonus and a projected 10,001% return if it reaches $0.10. Both projects have captured significant investor interest, with each offering distinct narratives and mechanisms aimed at driving value and engagement in the competitive crypto market.

BONK, often referred to as the “dog coin of the people,” has seen substantial trading activity in recent weeks. Its trading volume surged by 58% since Saturday morning, outpacing broader cryptocurrency market movements. As of August 24, 2025, BONK traded at $0.000023, down 3% compared to 24 hours earlier, with a weekly decline of 4.92%. Despite these fluctuations, the token remains a top 5 performer in yearly memecoin price change, with a 9.26% increase over the past year. Analysts have highlighted its potential to reach $0.00003, citing its popularity among Solana users and its current market capitalization of $1.86 billion, alongside a fully diluted valuation of $2.05 billion.

The token’s appeal is further bolstered by strategic partnerships. A recent deal with Safety Shot, a Nasdaq-listed company, saw the latter secure a 10% revenue stake in Bonk.fun, one of the largest memecoin launchpads on Solana. As part of the agreement, Safety Shot will receive $25 million worth of BONK for its treasury, aligning the company directly with the token’s growth trajectory [1]. Additionally, a drinks company has announced plans to acquire up to $115 million in BONK by year-end, indicating broader institutional interest and confidence in the token’s future [2].

Arctic Pablo Coin, on the other hand, is generating excitement through its presale structure. In its current Stage 39, tokens are available at $0.00099, with investors receiving a 300% bonus by using the code BAGS300. This effectively reduces the price to $0.00033 per token. With over $3.79 million raised so far, the project has attracted attention for its projected returns—708% if APC lists at $0.008 and 10,001% if it reaches $0.10. The presale’s success is attributed to its deflationary token burn mechanism, which reduces the total supply and potentially increases value, and a 66% APY staking program that rewards long-term holders [3].

The token’s roadmap includes strategic listings on Coinstore (CEX) and PancakeSwap (DEX) post-presale, ensuring liquidity and accessibility for investors. These developments position APC as a strong contender in the meme coin space, competing with projects like FLOKI and ApeCoin. While FLOKI has built a robust community with its “Floki Vikings” and expanded into a 3D NFT metaverse, APC’s presale structure and high ROI projections offer a compelling alternative for investors seeking high-growth opportunities [3].

The broader crypto market is also witnessing momentum in other areas, particularly with Ripple (XRP) gaining traction among institutional investors for cross-border transactions. XRP’s adoption by global financial institutions has led to notable price surges, adding to the dynamic environment for investors. While projects like BONK and APC focus on community-driven growth and meme coin virality, XRP’s real-world utility in facilitating faster, low-cost settlements has drawn attention from both traders and long-term investors [3].

Analysts note that the competitive landscape in the meme coin sector is intensifying, with projects leveraging innovative mechanisms to attract early adopters and build momentum. BONK’s airdrop strategy and institutional partnerships, combined with APC’s presale incentives and deflationary model, highlight the diverse approaches being taken to capture market share. Investors are advised to closely monitor these projects, as well as broader market trends, to make informed decisions in a rapidly evolving sector.

The presale for Arctic Pablo Coin is currently live, with tokens available for purchase through the official website. BONK remains tradable on major exchanges like Coinbase and is closely tracked for potential price movements. Both projects reflect the ongoing innovation and volatility in the crypto space, where community engagement, institutional backing, and strategic planning play key roles in shaping outcomes.
