Solana-based meme coin Bonk Inu (BONK) has acquired the multichain art marketplace Exchange Art, signaling its growing ambitions in the NFT and digital art space. The announcement, made via X, did not disclose financial details but emphasized Bonk Inu’s commitment to preserving art on the Solana blockchain.
Bonk Inu’s Strategic Acquisition
The acquisition marks a significant shift for Exchange Art, as its current leadership will be phased out in favor of a new team led by renowned artist JT Liss. The move aims to strengthen Solana’s creator economy and enhance the visibility of on-chain art.
“Bonk has officially acquired the art marketplace Exchange Art,” the announcement read. “The goal? To preserve and elevate the culture around creating, collecting, and appreciating art on-chain.”

Bonk Inu’s co-founder, TheOnlyNom, reassured the community that the platform’s mission to support digital artists will continue. The co-founder also revealed plans to integrate Exchange Art with the BONK Art Masters initiative, further expanding the marketplace’s reach and improving financial incentives for creators and collectors.
BONK Price Reaction: Will It Rally?
Despite the high-profile acquisition, BONK’s price has shown little reaction, dropping 6% in the past 24 hours to trade at $0.00001361. Daily trading volume is also down by 30%, currently at $107 million, indicating a lack of immediate bullish sentiment.
The meme coin remains significantly below its all-time high, having lost 77% of its peak value. However, community enthusiasm remains strong, with speculators watching for a potential price surge following the acquisition.
Meanwhile, Solana (SOL), the blockchain powering BONK, has seen a 2% price increase amid heightened meme coin activity. Analysts speculate that SOL could rally 96% to reach $270 if the trend continues.

While the BONK acquisition fuels speculation, ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood has warned that memecoins could lose value in the long run. Whether BONK defies the odds remains to be seen, but its latest move underscores its ambition to shape Solana’s digital art landscape.
