Solana memecoin Bonk Inu has completed the purchase of the multichain art marketplace Exchange Art. While the purchase is a surprise for community members, speculators have their eyes peeled on a potential rally for BONK price.
Bonk Inu Completes Exchange Art Acquisition
According to a post on X, Solana-based project Bonk Inu has outrightly purchased Exchange Art. While the announcement did not disclose the figures surrounding the deal, Bonk Inu says it will preserve art on the Solana network.
The acquisition will see the phasing out of Exchange Art’s leadership and replacement with a brand-new team. Internationally exhibited artist JT Liss has been tapped to lead the operations at Exchange Art amid grand plans to improve Solana’s creator economy.
“Bonk has officially acquired the art marketplace Exchange Art,” read the announcement. “The goal? To preserve and elevate the culture around creating, collecting, and appreciating art on-chain.”
Bonk Inu co-founder TheOnlyNom disclosed that the top Solana memecoin will continue Exchange Art’s streak of promoting art in the ecosystem. The co-founder confirmed plans to integrate Exchange Art with the BONK Art Masters initiative.
“It’ll continue to expand the reach of artists creating works on the platform, improving the financial incentives for both creators and collectors,” said TheOnlyNom.
Price To Rally On The Back Of The Acquisition?
At the moment, the BONK price is largely uneventful following reports of Exchange Art Acquisition. It has fallen by 6% over the last 24 hours and currently trades at $0.00001361.
The meme coin indicates no signs of an upswing, with daily trading volumes down by 30% over the last day at $107 million. The dog-themed coin has lost 77% since hitting its previous all-time high, but community sentiment remains enthusiastic.
On the other hand, Solana (SOL) price is up 2% amid frenetic meme coin activity in its ecosystem. On the back of meme coin activity on the network, pundits say SOL can rally 96% to reach $270.
Despite the buzz around dog-themed tokens, Cathie Wood predicts that memecoins will lose value in the coming years.
YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs) has announced its investment in Plume Network (PLUME). It is a fully integrated modular blockchain designed for the rapid adoption and integration of real-world assets (RWAs).
The investment marks a significant step in advancing blockchain infrastructure that seamlessly bridges traditional finance with decentralized finance (DeFi), further expanding the Real World Asset Finance (RWAfi) ecosystem.
YZi Labs Backs Plume Network to Grow RWAfi Ecosystem
“At YZi Labs, we invest in projects that harness blockchain technology to create real-world impact and Plume is a prime example—they are bringing real-world assets on-chain to unlock new capital, expand access, and drive adoption. By making RWAs as seamless as any other digital asset, Plume is bridging traditional finance and DeFi, paving the way for broader adoption,” Coniglio told BeInCrypto.
Notably, Plume Network provides an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible environment that facilitates onboarding a wide range of assets. These include financial instruments, carbon credits, GPUs, and collectibles. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates these assets into a composable RWAfi ecosystem, enhancing their utility and enabling broader financial interactions.
Through its composable ecosystem, Plume enables users to earn rewards, trade, borrow, lend, swap, and engage in market speculation. By integrating real-world assets on-chain, Plume ensures they are as accessible and user-friendly as traditional crypto tokens.
Meanwhile, Chris Yin, co-founder and CEO of Plume, stressed that the platform aims to address the longstanding infrastructure gap that has hindered the widespread adoption of RWAs in the crypto space.
“Although stablecoins, the original RWA, have successfully proven to onboard new users into crypto, the rest of RWAs have struggled to achieve the same traction. With Plume, asset issuers of all kinds can become Web3 builders, seamlessly connecting to our community, ecosystem, and liquidity,” Yin said.
Despite its strong yearly performance, the RWA has faced a recent pullback. Month-to-date (MTD) sector performance data shows a -12.1% decline, suggesting a correction following its rapid growth. Bitcoin and Ethereum also posted losses, indicating a broader market downturn rather than an RWA-specific issue.
Bitcoin (BTC) surged past the $90,000 mark following reports of its potential preferential treatment in President Donald Trump’s proposed US crypto reserve strategy.
The speculation comes ahead of the White House Crypto Summit, which Trump will host and feature top digital asset industry executives.
Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Plan Unveiled
Citing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, The Pavlovick Today revealed that the strategic cryptocurrency reserve would be on Friday’s agenda for President Trump’s White House Crypto Summit.
“The President definitely thinks that there’s a Bitcoin strategic reserve. Now there will be the question of, how do we handle the other cryptocurrencies? And I think the model is going to be announced on Friday,” Lutnick reportedly stated.
Reportedly, Trump envisions a strategic Bitcoin reserve, distinguishing it from other cryptocurrencies. Lutnick suggested Bitcoin would receive unique status under Trump’s plans.
“So Bitcoin is one thing, and then the other currencies, the other crypto tokens, I think, will be treated differently—positively, but differently,” he added.
Following this news, Bitcoin reclaimed the $90,000 psychological level, with BTC trading for $90,097 as of this writing. According to BeInCrypto data, this represents a surge of over 7% since Wednesday’s session opened.
The prospective preferential treatment for Bitcoin is unsurprising given its heft as the pioneer crypto. Similarly, its commodity status, like Ethereum (ETH), also positions it for possible privilege.
In a recent Truth Social post, he emphasized his administration’s commitment to elevating the crypto sector. Specifically, Trump announced that the US crypto reserve would include XRP, SOL, and ADA alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.
However, Lutnick’s comments suggest that Bitcoin may receive special status under the new framework. While Trump’s announcement has fueled bullish sentiment in the Bitcoin market, it has also sparked significant debate.
Some crypto leaders have expressed skepticism about including alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) in the US reserve. Critics argue that favoring Bitcoin while treating other tokens differently could create market distortions.
Another major talking point is Ethereum’s role—or lack thereof—in the prospective crypto reserve strategy. The White House Crypto Summit will feature leaders from ecosystems running on Ethereum, but the blockchain lacks representation.
Notwithstanding, the announcement of a strategic crypto reserve has led to speculation about an incoming altseason. Tim Haldorsson, founder of Luna Strategy, told BeInCrypto that Trump’s plan could drive increased investment into altcoins.
However, Henrik Zeberg Jensen, the head of Macroeconomics and fund manager of Swissblock Technologies AG, has a different opinion.
“Trump does not stand as a testimony to or a proof of which tokens will have success. Look at his meme coin [TRUMP]! No usability- and driven by speculation. The success of any token in the long run will be based on the usability of the token in future solutions which will lift productivity and reduce cost. Trump’s picks in that respect seem arbitrary,” Zeberg told BeInCrypto.
Should Bitcoin get preferential treatment in the crypto reserve, altcoins could still benefit. Historically, Bitcoin-led rallies have often paved the way for altcoin surges.

XRP Price Prediction 2025
A few factors will likely shape XRP’s market performance in 2025. The main factor that will decide XRP’s trend in 2025 is the conclusion of the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit. However, there’s more in store for XRP, as in a recent announcement, U.S. President Donald Trump had mentioned XRP being included in the newly formed U.S. Strategic Crypto Reserve.
Talking about efforts and progress being made at Ripple Team’s end, Monica Long, President at Ripple highlighted that RLUSD stable coin will serve as the basic necessity for the entire Ripple ecosystem. She mentioned how the Ripple blockchain network allows users to tokenize, store, move, and exchange assets. Another major highlight from the discussion was how Ripple’s open source code for the XRP ledger is contributing to the blockchain industry.
If things go in favor of Ripple, XRP price could surge to a maximum of $5.81 by the end of 2025. In contrast, if the lawsuit continues, XRP could remain under a narrow range with a potential low of $2.3. That being said, we can expect an average price of $4.89.
