TLDR

  • Bonk.fun’s domain was hijacked by hackers who planted a wallet drainer on the site
  • Only users who signed a fake terms-of-service message after the breach were affected
  • Past connections and third-party terminal trades were not impacted
  • The platform was formerly known as LetsBONK and launched in April 2025
  • Bonk.fun’s market share had already dropped from 84% to 7% by end of 2025

Bonk.fun, a Solana-based meme coin launchpad backed by Raydium and the BONK token, warned users on March 12 to avoid its website after hackers hijacked a team account and installed a wallet drainer on the domain.

The platform’s operator, known as Tom, announced the breach on X under the handle @SolportTom. He told users not to visit the site until further notice. Bonk’s official X account confirmed the warning.

Tom said that only users who signed a fake terms-of-service message on the compromised website after the breach took place were affected. Past connections to the site and trades made through third-party terminals were not impacted.

The incident is under investigation. The team has not disclosed how much money was lost, but Tom said the breach was caught quickly and that community alerts helped limit the damage.

Bonk.fun was launched in April 2025 by the BONK community alongside Raydium. It lets users deploy tokens on Solana without any coding, using dynamic logarithmic bonding curves. The platform was previously called LetsBONK.

Bonk.fun’s Rise and Fall in Market Share

Shortly after launch, the platform overtook Pump.fun to control 84% of Solana’s launchpad market by mid-2025. That lead did not hold.

By the end of 2025, Bonk.fun’s market share had dropped to just 7%, according to data from Dune. Its monthly revenue fell to around $84,000, while Pump.fun’s topped $720,000 in the same period.

The decline came as reward mechanisms became hard to sustain and successful token launches slowed. Pump.fun responded by launching major buybacks, acquiring Kolscan, and improving its scaling capacity.

Bonk.fun cut creator fees to 0% in early 2026 to bring users back. The move led to a short spike in revenue near the end of January 2026.

Platform Struggled to Hold Momentum Before Hack

That recovery did not last. Pump.fun rolled out new incentives and reclaimed over 70% of the market by February 2026.

The hack follows a broader pattern in crypto. Phishing attacks that trick users into signing malicious prompts on hijacked domains have been rising. In 2025, fraudulent inflows from these scams neared $17 billion.

The Bonk.fun team has urged all users to stop interacting with the website until they confirm the platform is secure.

As of the time of reporting, no dollar figure for losses from the hack has been made public.

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
