With the resurgence of the Meme coin craze, Bonk Guy has become the best-performing "Meme trader" this round, temporarily holding the top spot on the fomo platform with over $15 million in profit, which is twice the profit scale of the second trader; under his guidance, established Meme coins like USELESS and Marscoin are experiencing a second spring; new Meme coins like SUE and SOCK often execute "clearance plots" (Odaily Planet Daily note: that is, market capitalization quickly breaking through $10 million).
Bonk Guy has thus leaped to become the "hotshot in the Meme coin space," with the "Bonk Guy effect" seen as one of the market hotspots. However, a question facing the market and Bonk Guy is: “How long can the ‘Bonk Guy effect’ last?”
Examples of the "Bonk Guy effect": SUE, SOCK rapid clearance, still observing more low-market cap targets
Aside from the familiar "PONS hundredfold returns," "USELESS second spring," and "Marscoin listed on Binance" achievements, the best example of the "Bonk Guy effect" is a number of recent low-market cap Meme coins he has shouted out.
SUE: Entered with a market cap of $450,000, broke through $10 million after the call
On September 5th at around 5 PM, Bonk Guy received an airdrop of about $6,300 in SUE tokens when its market cap was $450,000;
On September 6th, after his post call, the market cap of SUE quickly rose from several million dollars to over $10 million, later exceeding $13 million.
SOCK: Entered at $3.4 million, briefly approached $14 million
On September 7th, Bonk Guy received about 32 million SOCK tokens worth about $110,000 at a $3.4 million market cap; subsequently, he expressed in a post his optimism about this token and the "bundle stock concept" adopted by the token.
A rapid clearance miracle was repeated, and SOCK's subsequent market cap briefly approached $14 million.
Before this, Bonk Guy had sharply commented and supported memestock, microduck; subsequently, his recent shout-outs for Memes also included the "AMC concept-related Meme coin" MEME on the Robinhood Chain, all rapidly increasing in a short period. From the K-line charts of various tokens, it is evident that Bonk Guy's posts significantly impact market cap and price increases.
Additionally, yesterday he posted on X platform looking for "targets with market cap below $1 million," and within just 24 hours garnered over 1.3 million exposures and over 11,000 comments, highlighting his current popularity.
Key Question: How does the "Bonk Guy effect" exist?
Who has elevated Bonk Guy to his current status and popularity? The answer is multifaceted.
First, naturally, is his impressive past performance and profit-making ability. More details can be found in “The 64-Year-Old Man Tops the Fomo Chart, 'Diamond Hands' Bonkguy's Meme Legend”.
Second, is his vastly different trading style from previous on-chain frontrunners and wealthy traders who exhibit "paper hands," "quick selling," and "calling others to take over." A noteworthy detail is that fomo platform data shows his average holding time is about 5 days and 10 hours, which is rare for HODLers in the rapidly fading Meme coin space.
Third, his long-standing communication attitude with the Meme coin community and developers. The aforementioned "recommendation for low-market cap Meme coins" is a prime example; "no community, no Meme," Bonk Guy clearly knows this well.
Fourth, the attention from figures like He Yi and Nina Rong, prominent members of the Binance network, as well as various influential individuals and celebrities, is also essential. Previously, Bonk Guy actively requested attention from He Yi because he frequently called out Marscoin as well as the arrival of "BNB Season" and "BNB on-chain trends."
Numerous factors of "human connections," combined with the market's warming trend, the meme coin market craze, and the geographical advantages of the fomo platform and Robinhood Chain, have allowed Bonk Guy to successfully surpass active crypto KOLs like Ansem and him, becoming the current "number one in the Meme coin space."
How long can the "Bonk Guy effect" last? It may continue until the end of this month
Based on past Meme coin craze cycles, the duration of the "Bonk Guy effect" is expected to last about one month.
Looking back at previous Meme coin crazes, they can be described as “each generation brings forth its own legends” in the real world:
In 2023, cryptocurrency traders often became the focus of attention for many both domestically and abroad, and their shouting capabilities were frequently validated;
In 2024, in the Solana Meme coin craze, overseas crypto KOL Ansem became the market's focus at the time;
In 2025, the market fluctuated between highs and lows, with 0xSun, Laser Cats, and others gaining significant popularity at the beginning of the year due to Trump’s wealth; in the second half of the year, the market driven by Murad, dubbed the "godfather of Meme coins," as well as Binance's two founders CZ and He Yi also lasted for about a month.
And now, as we enter 2026, nearly half a month has passed since Bonk Guy called out the "Meme bull market" with USELESS on August 22. Coupled with recent emerging issues like "high APY LP pools" and "FAMI/JINQIAN rapid clearance scams" on the Robinhood Chain and BSC, the Meme heat and market driven by Bonk Guy may gradually recede by the end of this month.
In June of this year, "white-haired stock god" Serenity received immense popularity due to investment performance, but gradually retreated from the spotlight with the arrival of the "bloody July" in the stock market. To some extent, highly concentrated hot figures emerge during market uptrends and periodically signal that the market is entering a "greed phase."
Of course, each round of the market has its uniqueness, and Bonk Guy differs from other hot figures; apart from his "diamond hands" attribute, his high level of activity, focus on low-market cap targets, and willingness to frequently shout out to build momentum are also personal characteristics.
As for whether he can break the precedent of “heat cycle” and let this round of Meme coin trends "fly a little longer," it may depend on how the market responds to the upcoming "unexpected events."
