Bonk Guy said several Arc ecosystem developers have contacted him over the past few weeks, seeking to attract meme coin traders early after the network goes live. According to Odaily, he said the Arc team appears to recognize meme coin trading as one way for a new chain to quickly increase on-chain activity and may be drawing on Robinhood Chain’s earlier ecosystem launch strategy.
Bonk Guy said he had not focused on Arc previously but has recently started a short-term position, buying LONG, the native token of Arc’s main launchpad, as well as the platform’s top three meme coins by market value. He added that the move is a short-term, high-risk attempt and does not change his longer-term preference for trading activity on Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Solana.
Arc’s mainnet is scheduled to launch on September 16.
