Bonk Goes Mainstream: Revolut's Leap into Meme Coin Adoption

Revolut, a leading European banking fintech firm, is reportedly planning to list Bonk, the largest meme coin linked to the Solana blockchain. Additionally, it plans to kick off a $1.2 million campaign to encourage cryptocurrency awareness among its users,, according to an informed source.

Revolut's Plans for Listing and Learning Initiative

The proposed "learn" campaign awaits approval from Bonk's governing council, responsible for overseeing the project's treasury of Bonk tokens valued at over $100 million. The latest update indicates that the approval vote is nearing quorum, with six out of the council's 12 members voting in favor and none opposing. It is anticipated to pass, according to participants familiar with the matter.

Originally conceived by Solana blockchain enthusiasts in response to FTX's tumultuous events in November 2022, Bonk has evolved into Solana's most prominent meme coin, widely utilized by various platform applications as an incentive mechanism. Revolut intends to allocate Bonk tokens to select users as rewards for engaging with the cryptocurrency through its application.
