Solana-Based Memecoin Bonk Inu (BONK) Launches an Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) in the US
Sep 22, 2024 at 01:15 am
The team behind BONK disclosed the latest update at the Solana Breakpoint event in Singapore, noting the product would be Series 504 and 506 Trusts for institutional and retail investors.
Solana (SOL)-based memecoin Bonk Inu (BONK) has launched an exchange-traded product (ETP) in the United States. The latest development was announced by the Bonk team at the Solana Breakpoint event in Singapore, revealing a Series 504 and 506 Trust for institutional and retail investors, respectively.
The ETP, which will trade under the ticker BONK, was created in partnership with Osprey Funds and will be available for OTC markets trading, the announcement revealed. However, there is no information yet on when the ETP will launch.
The announcement, despite being brief on details about the product, sparked some excitement in the BONK community, leading to a minor jump in the token’s value earlier today. However, the token is already down almost 1% from that peak price, highlighting the poor performance of the memecoin, which is down 60% from its peak price.
Still, the ETP is being touted by many as the first step toward something bigger for the bonk memecoin, which could eventually launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) when it becomes permissible.
Minimum Investment of $10,000 in BONK Trust for Investors
While the Bonk team announcement was brief on details about the ETP, the trust sponsor, Osprey Fund, has provided more information about the product on its website. The BONK Trust is designed to provide investors with exposure to BONK by tracking the price of the memecoin.
However, the accreditation requirements for the trust are stringent. To qualify as an accredited investor, a retail investor must earn at least $200,000 annually or $300,000 as a couple and have a net worth of over $1 million or be a licensed investment professional. Meanwhile, institutional investors must have at least $5 million in liquid assets, or all beneficial owners must be accredited investors for them to invest.
The minimum amount allowable for investment is $10,000, effectively cutting out the majority of memecoin traders who might be interested in the fund. However, it also means an inflow of institutional capital into the memecoin if it can generate enough interest from smart money with its 2.5% management fee.
Copper is the custodian of the Trust, while Theorem Fund Services manages it. The fund is only available for private subscriptions, but the sponsor plans to apply for listing once it meets the OTC listing standards.
Crypto ETPs, ETFs Gaining Popularity
The launch of the BONK Trust comes amid the growing popularity of crypto-focused ETPs in the US and globally. This year, crypto ETPs have seen mainstream adoption with the approval of spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Over the year, the total assets under management (AUM) for crypto ETPs have surged, reaching a record high of over $100 billion as of March 2024. This marks a roughly 100% increase from the $51 billion in AUM for digital assets investment products at the end of 2023, highlighting the massive impact of the US SEC approvals.
Although the AUM for these products has now declined to $82.57 million due to outflows and the decline in crypto prices, the massive increase in AUM this year showcases the success of crypto ETPs and the appetite of retail and institutional investors.
Currently, only Bitcoin and Ether have publicly approved ETFs trading in the US and account for the majority of this AUM. However, asset managers and investors are hoping that other altcoins will be able to join soon, especially if Trump gets elected and deregulates the ETF approval process.
