How PONKE Binance Listing Affected the Meme Coin Price
Earlier today, Binance announced the listing of the Solana-based meme coin Ponke (PONKE) on its futures market, driving its price up by 12% within minutes. However, the surge was short-lived as PONKE’s price quickly retraced all those gains.
Here’s a breakdown of how it all happened and what might be next for the meme coin’s value.
Ponke Sees Record Volume, Bearish Sentiment
Binance listed the meme coin Ponke at 12:30 UTC today, pairing it with USDT in a perpetual contract. Created in 2023, Ponke is a monkey-themed meme coin that initially gained traction among meme coin enthusiasts before being overshadowed by the rise of tokens like dogwifhat (WIF) and Bonk (BONK).
Despite losing momentum after being outperformed by its peers, Ponke’s listing on Binance reignited interest, causing its price to surge from $0.44 to $0.51. However, the gains were short-lived, as the excitement surrounding the listing quickly turned into a classic “sell the news” event, leading to a complete reversal of the earlier price increase.
Still, PONKE’s volume soared to an all-time high of $88.57 million. This surge implies that the listing leads to higher interest in the meme coin. But in this case, rising volume alongside declining price is bearish, suggesting that the metric is strengthening the downtrend.

If sustained, PONKE’s price might continue to decrease. The weighted sentiment around the meme coin is another factor suggesting an accelerated drawdown.
This metric gauges the broader market’s perception of a cryptocurrency. When it is positive, the average comment is bullish. But a negative reading indicates otherwise.
According to Santiment, the Ponke Binance listing initially lifted the Weighted Sentiment very high. However, as of this writing, it has dropped to the negative region, suggesting that pessimistic remarks have plagued the cryptocurrency shortly afterward. This also indicates dwindling demand, which could drag PONKE’s price further down.
PONKE Price Prediction: Decline May Continue
A look at the 4-hour chart shows that the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has fallen to the negative region. The MACD is a technical oscillator that measures the relationship between two moving averages to spot trends.
When the indicator’s reading is positive, momentum is bullish, and the price can increase. But in this case, the negative rating suggests bearish momentum around PONKE. Hence, the value might drop.

While PONKE trades at $0.432, this current condition indicates that the meme coin value could slide to $0.36. However, if market participants buy the dip, this forecast might be invalidated, and PONKE might rally to the highest point of the wick at $0.62.

XRP Price Eyes Steady Increase
XRP price formed a base above $1.050 and started a fresh increase. There was a move above the $1.150 and $1.20 resistance levels. It even pumped above the $1.25 level, beating Ethereum and Bitcoin in the past two sessions.
There was also a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $1.1400 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. A high was formed at $1.4161 and the price is now consolidating gains. It is trading above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.0649 swing low to the $1.4161 high.

WisdomTree Europe Launches XRP ETP
ETF issuer WisdomTree’s European division just announced a new ETP based on XRP. This product is currently available in four EU countries, which has led XRP’s price to jump slightly.
ETPs are a common issuer strategy to earn revenue without ETF approval, but Europe will not necessarily approve one even if the US does so.
WisdomTree’s XRP ETP
WisdomTree, one of the Bitcoin ETF issuers in the US, announced that its European branch is offering an exchange-traded product (ETP) based on XRP. This new product is currently available in Germany, Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands. A growing number of issuers have filed for an XRP ETF, but WisdomTree is taking a slightly different tack.
“The WisdomTree Physical XRP ETP offers a simple, secure, and low-cost way to gain exposure to XRP, one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Backed 100% by XRP, XRPW is the lowest-priced XRP ETP in Europe, providing direct spot price exposure,” the announcement claimed.
The possibility of an official XRP ETF is growing with the current bull market, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse considers it “inevitable.” Still, it hasn’t happened yet, and ETP offerings allow issuers to somewhat address customers’ requirements. BitWise, which has also filed for an XRP ETF in the US, recently acquired a European ETP issuer to enter the same market.
WisdomTree, however, is no stranger to this market strategy. In May this year, it won approval to offer ETPs based on Bitcoin and Ethereum to British investors.
The UK has not yet approved a full ETF for either of these assets, but WisdomTree still gained market access. Even a fraction of the XRP market could also prove lucrative; the asset’s value spiked today.
WisdomTree Europe’s strategy page does not describe any further actions upon full approval. Even if the US approves an XRP ETF under the SEC’s new leadership, that won’t necessarily benefit WisdomTree’s European branch. For now, these ETPs built on XRP will have to suffice for this market.
