Saga Phone by Solana Sells out in the US Due to Increased Demand Driven by BONK Price Surge

December 17, 2023

The Solana Mobile team has declared that its crypto phone Saga is now sold out in the US, with only a limited number of these highly sought-after devices remaining for the European market. Launched in May, the Android phone has sparked a frenzy of interest.

Why Has the Solana Saga Seen Such High Demand?

On December 13, the price of BONK, a meme coin on Solana, soared to a new all-time high after cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase announced trading support. Additionally, Binance is listing BONK, further fueling the meme coin craze.

As BONK’s price surged, traders rushed to take advantage of a free 30 million bonk airdrop for anyone who purchased the phone, leading to frantic buying.

In an effort to enable as many people as possible to buy the crypto phone, Solana imposed a “limit” of one device per household.

A few hours later, the Solana Mobile team posted on X that Saga was “officially sold out” for the US market.

The phone’s sales skyrocketed from modest numbers to tenfold figures in just 48 hours. Solana co-founder Raj Gokal stated in a post on Twitter that the phone was on the brink of selling out, with less than 5,000 units available for Europe.

BONK Price Gains

BONK’s remarkable price surge has seen the meme coin rise by nearly 100% in the past 24 hours and over 980% in the past 30 days.

According to information on the Saga store, the phone is currently priced at $599, down from the $999 price tag in August.

With prices at $0.00002981 at the time of writing, the 30 million BONK offered translates to approximately $894. This would mean a profit of over $290 for a Saga buyer in the last 48 hours if they were to cash in on their airdropped BONK.
