The alt and memecoin market is having a busy week in the last days of May. While Solana’s most hyped memecoin BONK lost over 14% of its value in just 24 hours, investors are excited about a new project coming to the Ethereum Blockchain on June 1st.

Also, a new token gearing up to debut on the Ethereum Blockchain on June 1st is having an impressive sales run. The sales
