Foresight News reports that Tom, the founder of bonk.fun, responded to community questions about the “official” One Piece token issued by Bonk, which once reached a market cap of $57 million before crashing. He stated, "This token is not from bonk and has never been from bonk. If we had the licensing rights for One Piece, we would have promoted it long ago. I’m not sure where this claim comes from. It originates from a third-party project called Freya, which was launched on the bonk.fun platform.
When we first learned about the product launch, we contacted the team, and it was clear they had many doubts about the validity of the intellectual property. They only hold a small portion of the rights we have expressed, and we believe this has caused a lot of misunderstandings. They need to communicate better with the public. Today, they issued tokens, but not even on bonk.fun. They directly injected liquidity into Raydium, bypassing the bonding curve, and minted a Bonk token to make it look like Bonk. This means bonk.fun and our platform did not benefit from this issuance—no tokens were issued, no distribution, and no fees. For months, people have been saying ‘Bonk owns the One Piece IP,’ and I keep correcting them, saying they are wrong."
