In an unexpected turn of events, the Solana Saga phone is experiencing a surge in market interest, fetching prices of up to $5,000 on eBay, far surpassing its reduced summer price of $599. The turnaround comes in the wake of the explosive growth of the BONK meme coin, which has witnessed a remarkable 10,000% surge in the past two months.
Read CRYPTONEWSLAND onInitially struggling to find its market, the Saga phone, released earlier this year at $1,000 and later discounted to $599, faced uncertain prospects amid disappointing sales. Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko openly acknowledged concerns about the device’s future. However, the recent BONK frenzy has dramatically altered the device’s narrative.
Last week, the inclusion of a 30 million BONK token airdrop with every new Saga phone caught the attention of traders and enthusiasts. As the price of BONK soared, peaking with an over 621% surge in the past month, the value of the airdrop surpassed the phone’s cost, resulting in an unexpected sell-out on the official website.
On eBay, several Saga phones have fetched over $2,000, with listings reaching as high as $5,000. This surge in demand reflects the market’s response to the escalating value of BONK and the anticipation of further appreciation. Buyers are betting on the meme coin’s continued upward trajectory, expecting its value to climb even higher.
The BONK phenomenon has not gone unnoticed by other Solana-based projects, with Solend and Samoyed Coin announcing plans for airdrops to Saga phone holders, further incentivizing ownership.
As Saga’s unexpected success unfolds, speculation arises about the possibility of a follow-up phone in the future. Share your thoughts on this remarkable turn of events in the comments section below.
