Coinbase expands its offerings for New York residents by listing Solana-based meme coin Bonk, causing a 10% price surge.

Coinbase Lists Bonk for New York Customers

In an X post on May 24, Coinbase announced the listing of Bonk (BONK), saying it’s big news for the New York users. The crypto exchange shows support for the XRP and Solana meme coin Bonk with an image depicting “NY Loves XRP and BONK.”

Immediate Market Reaction

Coinbase customers in New York can start trading BONK on the Coinbase website, as well as in the Coinbase iOS & Android apps. It further added that Coinbase customers can log in to buy, sell, convert, send, receive or store these assets.

The move comes a day after the crypto exchange listed XRP, expanding support for the much-discussed coins as the SEC continues to argue that XRP is a security and may challenge Judge Torres’ summary judgment that XRP in itself is not a security.

Meanwhile, Coinbase has also expanded support for meme coins Shiba Inu (SHIB), FLOKI, and BONK by listing 1000BONK-PERP, 1000FLOKI-PERP, and 1000SHIB-PERP perpetual futures contracts tradable from May 30.

Santiment revealed recently that the hype surrounding spot Ethereum ETF has been a catalyst for price rallies in cryptos such as ETH, UNI, PEPE, BONK, and LDO, which saw over 20% gains.

BONK price jumped after the announcement, but still trading 3% down in the last 24 hours. The price is currently trading at $0.00003293. Bonk has rallied over 46% in a week and 55% in a month.
