Bonk Guy responds to EMBER controversy, says he bought in from about a $7 million valuation on launchpad growth

Crypto trader Bonk Guy has addressed recent criticism over his EMBER purchase, laying out the timing and reasoning behind the trade. He said he first noticed the project when its valuation was around $3 million but did not buy at that point. After watching it for a day and seeing rapid platform data growth, he revisited the project and accumulated a position from roughly a $7 million valuation up to about $20 million. In his explanation, Bonk Guy described EMBER as a major launchpad built on Meteora infrastructure. He said the platform supports SOL, USDC, and more than 150 tokenized stocks as paired assets for token launches, uses Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve technology, and includes features such as token tax distribution, Daily Jackpots, and DAO governance. He also shared operating data for the platform, saying that within three days of launch, Ember recorded about $51.7 million in trading volume, $561,000 in fees, 2,041 tokens launched, more than 41,800 unique holder addresses, and 149,000 Solana transactions. Bonk Guy compared the trade with his earlier PONS position and said he focuses more on underlying launchpad usage than on whether a breakout token has already emerged. He also said claims that more than 50% of EMBER was tied to a Bubblemaps address cluster had been clarified by Bubblemaps, and added that EMBER was not launched by Meteora but is built on related Meteora infrastructure and has been listed on Meteora’s ecosystem page. He said he has no relationship with the Ember team and that the position is a personal trade.
