BUN Liquidity Risk Calculator
Calculate how easily the price of BUN can be manipulated based on trade size. This tool demonstrates why BUN's extreme price swings (up to 600% difference between exchanges) happen due to low trading volume.
How It Works
The article mentions BUN's daily trading volume ranges from $6,000 to $63,000. A small trade can move the price dramatically when there aren't enough buyers and sellers. Enter the USD amount you want to trade to see:
- Percentage of daily volume your trade represents
- Estimated price movement based on real exchange data
- Risk level of your trade size
Boundless Network (BUN) isn’t another Bitcoin or Ethereum. It’s a tiny cryptocurrency with a narrow purpose: fueling the Burrito Wallet ecosystem. If you’ve never heard of Burrito Wallet, you’re not alone. BUN doesn’t trade on Coinbase or Binance. It doesn’t have a big community. It doesn’t even have consistent pricing across exchanges. But it exists-and people are trading it. Here’s what you need to know before you even think about buying BUN.
What BUN Actually Does
BUN is a utility and governance token built for one thing: the Burrito Wallet. That’s it. It’s not a standalone blockchain. It runs on the BNB Chain, which means it uses the same network as Binance Coin. That’s important. It means BUN transactions are fast and cheap-but only if you’re already using a wallet that supports BNB Chain, like MetaMask or Trust Wallet.
Inside the Burrito Wallet app, BUN lets you do three things:
- Vote on ecosystem changes (governance)
- Earn rewards for using features or inviting others
- Pay for services within the Burrito ecosystem
Think of it like a loyalty card that also gives you a say in how the app evolves. But unlike Starbucks’ rewards, you can’t use BUN to buy coffee. You can’t use it to pay for Netflix. It only works inside Burrito Wallet’s own tools.
Supply and Market Numbers (As of Late 2023)
BUN has a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens. That sounds big-until you see how many are actually out there. Around 250 to 330 million are in circulation. That’s only 25-33% of the total. The rest are locked up, likely for future team rewards or ecosystem incentives.
Here’s where things get messy:
- Price: Ranges from $0.000125 to $0.00091 across exchanges. CoinGecko says $0.000183. Coinbase shows $0.000909. That’s a 600% difference. Why? Low trading volume. A few big trades can swing the price wildly.
- Market Cap: Between $200,000 and $300,000. For comparison, Bitcoin’s market cap is over $500 billion. BUN is 2.5 million times smaller.
- Trading Volume: Around $6,000 to $63,000 in 24 hours. That’s tiny. You could easily buy 10% of all BUN traded in a day with $5,000.
- Rank: #6113 on CoinGecko. Out of over 25,000 cryptocurrencies. It’s buried in the long tail.
These numbers aren’t just low-they’re dangerously low. When a coin has less than $1 million in market cap, it’s easy for one person to manipulate the price. That’s not speculation. That’s a known risk in crypto.
Where You Can Buy BUN
You won’t find BUN on Coinbase, Kraken, or Gemini. It’s only listed on a few smaller exchanges:
- MEXC
- Bitget
- WEEX
To buy BUN, you need to:
- Sign up on one of these exchanges
- Deposit USDT, BNB, or another supported coin
- Trade it for BUN
- Withdraw it to your own wallet (like MetaMask) if you want to hold it long-term
There’s no app for BUN. No official website with a buy button. No easy on-ramp. You need to know how to use decentralized exchanges and manage private keys. If you’re new to crypto, this is a hard place to start.
Why the Price Fluctuates So Much
On November 28, 2023, BUN dropped 32.57% in 24 hours on one exchange. On another, it jumped 80%. That’s not normal market behavior. That’s low liquidity.
Imagine a small town with only five people selling apples. One person decides to sell all their apples at half price. Suddenly, the “market price” of apples crashes-even though everyone else still wants $1. That’s BUN. There aren’t enough buyers and sellers to keep the price stable.
Also, some exchanges show wildly different prices because they’re not syncing properly with real trades. Coinbase’s price of $0.000909 was flagged by CoinGecko as likely incorrect. That’s not a glitch-it’s a red flag. If the data is unreliable, how can you trust the value?
Is BUN a Good Investment?
Let’s be blunt: BUN is not a good investment for most people.
Here’s why:
- No real adoption: No businesses accept it. No apps outside Burrito Wallet use it. No developers are building on it.
- Zero community: There are almost no Reddit threads, Twitter discussions, or Telegram groups about BUN. You won’t find user reviews on Trustpilot or Capterra.
- High risk of failure: According to Messari’s 2023 report, 85% of cryptocurrencies under $500,000 market cap die within two years.
- Price predictions conflict: One tool says BUN will drop 25% by end of 2025. Another says it’ll rise 66% by 2031. Neither has data to back it up. They’re just guessing.
There’s one scenario where BUN might make sense: if you already use Burrito Wallet and want to participate in its governance. Even then, you’re not making money-you’re voting. And if the ecosystem never grows, your BUN tokens become worthless.
What Experts Say
Industry analysts don’t ignore BUN-they just don’t care. It’s too small to matter. The SEC’s crackdown on unregistered tokens hits small projects hardest. The Move Over Securities Act, introduced in late 2023, could force projects like BUN to register as securities or shut down.
Delphi Digital’s Q3 2023 report found that tokens under $1 million lost 68% of their value in 2023. BUN’s market cap is close to that threshold. It’s not a question of if it will struggle-it’s a question of how long it will last.
Bitget’s prediction that BUN could hit $0.0009363 by 2031 sounds hopeful. But that’s based on a 66% return over seven years. That’s less than 8% annual growth. And it assumes the Burrito Wallet ecosystem expands dramatically-which there’s zero evidence of.
Bottom Line: BUN Is a Niche Experiment
Boundless Network isn’t a scam. It’s not a Ponzi scheme. It has a clear, limited purpose. But it’s also not a serious cryptocurrency. It’s a test run inside a small app with no outside traction.
If you’re curious and want to spend $20 to see how it works, fine. Buy a few tokens. Try voting in the Burrito Wallet DAO. See if the interface is smooth. See if rewards actually pay out.
But don’t buy BUN because you think it’s going to 10x. Don’t buy it because you saw a price spike on one exchange. Don’t buy it because someone on TikTok called it the "next big thing."
BUN’s only real value is inside Burrito Wallet. Outside of it? It’s just digital noise.
