FLOKI And BONK Drop 5% After Revolut Listing Announcement
FLOKI and BONK had remarkable growth over the weekend after recovering from the Bitcoin dip at the end of last week. These tokens have been some of the hottest topics during this bull run, with FLOKI and BONK increasing by over 500% and 87%, respectively.
Recently, both memecoins were listed on the European neo bank and retail platform Revolut, but the news didn’t appear to have a massive impact on the tokens. However, the projects’ most recent announcements have seemingly made them soar in the past hour.
FLOKI And BONK To Take Over Europe
The projects announced their listing on Revolut on Monday. The new listing expands the reach of FLOKI and BONK to a broader audience, as the platform is available to 40 million users in over 150 countries.

Moreover, the listing will allow users to buy the tokens with 25 fiat currencies, including EUR, GBP, and USD, directly from the Revolut app. Per the BONK X post, users in Europe and eligible countries will also have access to a Learn and Earn program starting on April 29.
Crypto trader Altcoin Gordon weighed in on the matter, telling his 458,000 followers that the listing was “pretty BIG.” According to Gordon, it will allow the tokens to compete with Dogecoin (DOGE), Dogwifhat (WIF), PEPE, and Shiba Inu (SHIB).
Despite the announcement, the tokens performed modestly after the news. FLOKI’s price increased 2% in the following hour, trading at $0.0001778. Nonetheless, the token dropped 5.3% hours later to trade at $0.0001693.
Meanwhile, Bonk’s price increased by 3.7%, trading at $0.0002069 before facing a 3.4% dip to the $0.0001990 level.
Similarly, both tokens have seen a decrease in daily activity in the past 24 hours. FLOKI’s daily trading volume fell a staggering 31.6%, while BONK’s trading volume dropped over 51%.

The news appears to have been well-received by the community. Seemingly fueled by the positive sentiment, the token rose 5.5% in the last hour. Similarly, FLOKI now surged 11.2% from 24 hours ago.
