LetsBONK.fun and IKUN: Igniting the Chinese Memecoin Craze

In the Solana ecosystem, LetsBONK.fun has quickly become a leader in the Memecoin space since its launch in April 2025. Created by BONK community members and the Raydium team, it attracts global attention with its cost-effective, efficient token creation and unique community incentives. The IKUN token, inspired by Chinese pop star Cai Xukun's fan base, is a standout project on the platform. Over the past 24 hours, IKUN recorded a staggering peak surge of over 11400%, with its price swinging from a low of approximately $0.00013 to a high of $0.015. On May 13, Moonshot launched IKUN, and its market cap is currently about $11.3 million.

LetsBONK.fun: A New Launchpad of Memecoins

LetsBONK.fun is a platform on the Solana blockchain focused on issuing Memecoins, aiming to provide users with a simple, fast, and low-cost token creation experience. Since its launch, the platform has shown impressive performance. According to a post by X user @theunipcs (Bonk Guy) on May 11, 2025, LetsBONK.fun achieved the following remarkable data within 24 hours of launching its latest incentive campaign:

• 6,911 tokens were created on the platform.

• The platform generated 2,880.36 SOL in fees, equivalent to approximately $500,000.

• Since its launch, the platform has incubated a total of 26,902 tokens, generating a cumulative 10,197.83 SOL in fees, about $2 million.

These numbers indicate that LetsBONK.fun has not only attracted a large number of users in a short time but also created significant value for the Solana ecosystem and BONK tokens through transaction fees. Part of the platform's fees is used to buy back and burn $BONK tokens, creating potential upward pressure on the price of $BONK, which has not yet been fully reflected in market prices.

Moreover, LetsBONK.fun has demonstrated a keen insight into community culture. The platform not only supports technology-driven token projects but also encourages creative projects based on pop culture, memes, and social media trends. In another post by X user @theunipcs on May 12, 2025, it was revealed that the Chinese community plays a significant role in the platform’s user base. Many Chinese users have launched Memecoins with Chinese cultural elements, such as IKUN, WuKong, and Bing Dun Dun, which have quickly sparked discussions in communities worldwide.

IKUN: An On-Chain Carnival of Cai Xukun's Meme Culture

Among the many tokens on LetsBONK.fun, IKUN is undoubtedly one of the most representative projects. Named after the fan group of Chinese pop idol Cai Xukun, the IKUN token quickly gained popularity by leveraging the extensive meme culture surrounding Cai Xukun on the Chinese internet (such as the famous dance "Chicken You Are So Beautiful" meme). IKUN brings this cultural phenomenon onto the blockchain, combining the entertainment and speculative nature of Memecoins, becoming a dark horse on the platform.

The success of IKUN is inseparable from the strong push by the community. The well-known KOL @theunipcs (Bonk Guy) on the LetsBONK.fun platform played a key role in the promotion.

He not only actively promoted IKUN through the X platform but also interacted with bloggers and members of the Chinese community, further expanding the token's influence. According to @theunipcs, his DMs were flooded with inquiries from users interested in launching tokens on LetsBONK.fun, including investors and creators interested in IKUN. Bonk Guy's support attracted more players from home and abroad, making it a "golden dog" on the platform.

How Long Will IKUN’s Market Enthusiasm Last?

The meme coin market is highly volatile, and the risks associated with such projects can be significant. The value of IKUN, for example, has already begun to show signs of decline, with its price dropping to 0.0094 and its 24-hour price increase reducing to 788%. The sustainability of the current excitement surrounding IKUN remains uncertain, and its future performance could fluctuate considerably.

We are curious to see how long the current market enthusiasm for IKUN will last, and BlockFlow will continue to monitor developments related to IKUN as well as valuable information and tokens on LetsBONK.fun. However, we also remind investors that meme coin investments carry significant risks, and caution is advised when trading.
