With the resurgence of the Meme coin craze, Bonk Guy has emerged as the top-performing "Meme trader" of this cycle, currently ranking first on the fomo platform with profits exceeding $15 million—twice the earnings of the second-place trader. Following his call-outs, established Meme coins like USELESS and Marscoin have experienced a second spring; new Meme coins such as SUE and SOCK have also frequently pulled off "speedrun narratives" (Odaily note: meaning their market caps quickly broke through $10 million).

This has catapulted Bonk Guy into the spotlight as "the hottest name in the Meme coin赛道," with the "Bonk Guy Effect" now regarded as one of the market's key narratives. But the question facing both the market and Bonk Guy is: How much longer can the "Bonk Guy Effect" last?

Evidence of the "Bonk Guy Effect": Sue and Sock Speedrun, More Low-Cap Targets Under Watch

Apart from well-known achievements like "PONS 100x returns," "USELESS's second spring," and "Marscoin's Binance listing," the best evidence of the "Bonk Guy Effect" lies in the several low-cap Meme coins he has recently called out.

Sue: Entered at a $450K Market Cap, Broke $10M After Call-Out

Around 5:00 PM on September 5, Bonk Guy received an airdrop of approximately $6,300 worth of Sue tokens at a $450K market cap;

On September 6, after his call-out post, Sue's market cap rapidly climbed from several million dollars to surpass $10 million, later peaking above $13 million.

Sock: Entered at $3.4 Million, Briefly Approached $14 Million

On September 7, Bonk Guy received approximately 32 million Sock tokens—worth around $110,000—at a $3.4 million market cap. He subsequently posted expressing his bullish view on the token and its "basket of stocks" concept.

The speedrun miracle repeated itself, with Sock's market cap later approaching $14 million.

Prior to this, Bonk Guy had also critiqued and called out memestock and microduck; since then, his recent call-outs include MEME (A Meme Coin), an "AMC-themed Meme coin" on Robinhood Chain, all of which saw rapid surges in a short period. From the price charts of various tokens, it's clear that Bonk Guy's posts have a significant impact on market cap and price movements.

Additionally, yesterday he posted on X seeking "targets with market caps below $1 million," garnering over 1.3 million impressions and more than 11,000 comments within just 24 hours—a clear testament to his current level of influence.

Key Question: Why Does the "Bonk Guy Effect" Exist?

Who elevated Bonk Guy to his current status and level of hype? The answer is multifaceted.

First, there are his impressive track record and profit-generating ability. For more details, see "64-Year-Old Climbs to Top of Fomo Leaderboard: The Meme Legend of 'Diamond Hands' Bonkguy."

Second, there's his "diamond hands" trading style, which starkly contrasts with the typical on-chain "alpha leaders" and overnight millionaire traders who are known for "paper hands," quick selling, and "pump-and-dump" call-outs. One telling detail: fomo platform data shows his average holding period is around 5 days and 10 hours—in a Meme coin赛道 known for rapid rise and fall, quick clears, and equally quick returns to zero, this makes him a rare "HODLer."

Third, there's his long-standing communicative approach with the Meme coin community and developers. The aforementioned "low-cap Meme coin recommendations" are a prime example. "No community, no Meme"—Bonk Guy is clearly a seasoned veteran of this dynamic.

Fourth, the attention from Binance leadership figures like Yi He and Nina Rong, as well as various influencers and celebrities, has also been essential. Previously, Bonk Guy proactively requested Yi He's attention, citing his repeated call-outs of Marscoin and the arrival of "BNB Season" and "BNB chain行情."

Combining these numerous "people factors" with the favorable timing of a broader market recovery and the Meme coin craze, plus the advantageous positioning of the fomo platform and Robinhood Chain's launch, Bonk Guy has surpassed still-active crypto KOLs like Ansem and him to become "the No. 1 figure in the Meme coin赛道."

How Long Can the "Bonk Guy Effect" Last? It May Extend Through Month-End

Based on past Meme coin craze cycles, the "Bonk Guy Effect" could last around one month.

Looking back at previous Meme coin manias, it's a real-life case of "every era has its champion":

In 2023, crypto trader "Changwei" became a focal point for audiences both domestically and internationally, with his call-out abilities frequently validated;

In 2024, during the Solana Meme coin craze, overseas crypto KOL Ansem became the "market focus" of that period;

In 2025, market conditions fluctuated between hot and cold. Early in the year, 0xSun, Laser Cat, and Queen—who struck it rich on Trump—enjoyed their moment in the spotlight. In the second half, Murad—dubbed the "Godfather of Meme coins"—along with Binance co-founders CZ and Yi He, drove a行情 that also lasted about a month.

Now, as we enter 2026, nearly half a month has passed since Bonk Guy declared the "Meme bull market" via USELESS on August 22. Combined with recent chaos on Robinhood Chain and BSC—such as "high-APY LP pools" and "FAMI/JINQIAN speedrun scams"—perhaps the Meme hype and momentum driven by Bonk Guy will gradually recede by the end of this month.

In June of this year, "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity was widely celebrated across the internet for his investment record, but as the stock market's "Bloody July" arrived, he too gradually faded from the spotlight. To some extent, highly prominent figures emerge during market upswings and periodically signal that the market is entering a "greed phase."

Of course, each market cycle has its own unique characteristics. What sets Bonk Guy apart from other hot-button figures—beyond his "diamond hands" nature—is his extreme activity, focus on low-cap targets, and willingness to frequently issue call-outs to build momentum, which are also part of his personal brand.

As for whether he can break the "hype cycle" established by previous precedents and let this Meme coin行情 "fly a little longer," perhaps the answer lies in how the market responds to each upcoming "surprise."
