BonkDAO aims to burn approximately 1.6 trillion BONK tokens, valued at around $53.5 million, as part of its holiday campaign to increase the scarcity of the memecoin. This action represents about 1.8% of the total supply of BONK tokens.
BURNmas Campaign Kicks Off
The “BURNmas” holiday campaign organized by BonkDAO is a community-supported deflationary event targeting the burning of one trillion BONK tokens by Christmas. The campaign seeks to stabilize prices by reducing the token supply.
During the BURNmas period, BONK supporters can contribute to the token burn by tweeting with the #LetsBonk hashtag, following the memecoin’s various social media accounts, and making predictions through BONKbets. These activities facilitate the removal of tokens from circulation.
Previous Burn Event and Its Effects
The BURNmas campaign stands out as a significant step following BonkDAO’s token burn event last November. When approximately $4 million worth of BONK tokens were removed from circulation in November, the memecoin’s market value surged by around 75% in one week, rising from $2.3 billion to over $4 billion.
Despite a roughly 27% decline in BONK’s value over the last 30 days, recent data shows a 6.1% increase in the last 24 hours, bringing the market value close to $2.5 billion. BONK ranks as the largest memecoin on the Solana 
$196 network and holds fourth place among all blockchains, following DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE.
This burning initiative is believed to help maintain the value of BONK while generating increased interest from the community. Market activity may reflect the positive effects of the token burn.

Such deflationary strategies can create positive impacts on market value and prices within the cryptocurrency sector. High community participation could enhance the success of the burn process. BONK’s future performance will likely depend on market conditions and community support, while token burning can help stabilize prices by affecting supply-demand dynamics.
Community-supported projects play a crucial role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. BonkDAO’s initiative may serve as an example for other memecoin projects. In the rapidly changing cryptocurrency market, strategies like token burning are significant factors that attract attention. BONK’s current move may continue to influence market dynamics.
By maintaining its strong position on Solana, BONK seeks to establish a significant presence in the expanding memecoin ecosystem. These strategies can be viewed as part of efforts to enhance the sustainability of memecoins.
