👀 A New Era for The Fed Soon?

Gm fellow traders,

The Renaissance era for on-chain has begun, marked by the end of the honeymoon phase of crypto this cycle, where we falsely believed that 99% of products had actual PMF and associated tokens had value. We have now entered what I like to call the “builder phase”.

Instead of throwing all you have in hopes of retiring on the next viral TikTok meme, we are now in a time in crypto where coin moves may be a bit quieter, but the builders and infrastructure will be much louder in preparations for the future of crypto.

Breakpoint (the annual Solana conference) 2025 wasn’t like the others.

From Solana’s biggest conference, one thing was clear: teams are getting serious. Real infrastructure. Real guardrails. Real distribution. Everything is being built to onboard the next wave of users into crypto.

The biggest moment? Coinbase.

Coinbase announced plans to let users access more assets on Solana. Simultaneously, they launched other products, such as Coinbase Advisor, stock trading, and custom-branded stablecoins, expanding their service offering for both businesses and consumers.

A tidal wave of new users is coming on-chain. And as a trader? I’m beyond excited.

What’s happening in markets right now is an absolute spectacle. Since February 5th, 2018, Jerome Powell has held a tight grip on power, giving every trader alive high blood pressure every time he steps up to the FOMC podium. But those days may be coming to an end. A new race is forming for the next Fed Chair.

As of now, three leading candidates are in the running. Prediction markets on Kalshi and Polymarket currently favor:

But don’t let the odds fool you. Despite sitting at just 13%, Christopher Waller is shaping up to be the dark horse of the race, with reports suggesting Trump himself is favoring Waller as the next Fed Chair.

While the news flow has been overwhelmingly positive (can we get another circular AI spend), the effects of the recent drawdown can’t simply be erased by a few bullish tweets from Trump or big Coinbase announcements. Damage like this takes time to heal.

That said, there is a silver lining.

The developments we’re seeing now are laying the rails for the next era of crypto, setting the foundation for a far more optimistic outlook in 2026 and the years ahead. So strap in, your goal in crypto is to survive and make sure you're there when the charts go green.

Despite all this market chop and uncertainty, if you're still looking for some fun crypto content from some of the best traders in the space, fomo is now sponsoring the “Risk On” podcast, which airs twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays at 12 pm EST. Be sure to follow them on X.

For almost 2 months, WOJAK has remained a strong and dominant coin in the Solana ecosystem, going on a historic run and now cooling off and consolidating.

WOJAK’s strength shows us that memes ain’t ready to give up just yet.

Now, of course, we have none other than the coin that lit a blaze in the hearts of every Gen Z and Gen Alpha kid this year. The king of TikTok brain-rot memes, if you would say the infamous 67, even just typing it out makes me look around to see if anyone saw.

67 has shown immense strength, retracing a part of the drawdown to, you guessed it, $6.7M in market cap. Crypto works in mysterious ways. The recent upward price action shows there is still heavy interest in this meme.

As always, keep track of the majors in the “most held” section directly inside the fomo app.

An oldie but a goodie in these on-chain markets seems to be coming back to life. Monerochan, the cute anime privacy girl project that captured CT’s hearts during the Zcash saga, is now back to play again.

If you're wondering why Monerochan pumped so much off the bottom, I would take a look at Monerochan’s older brother Monero himself, a $8B dollar asset up almost 40% in just a month.

With privacy meta wanting to come back in full swing with Zcash and Monero's strength, Monerochan seems poised to benefit from all the attention.

The next coin we have is quite refreshing to see, the good old dog token, but not just any old dog token. Russell is the official name of Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong’s dog.

The meme resurged again due to Brian posting an image of him and his wife celebrating the holidays, and on his socks, you saw a little cute imprint of Russell.

Now, what drew real attention was sadly not Brian’s socks, but who replied to Brian’s post. CT’s favourite KOL, Elon Musk, replied to Brian's post. As they say, every dog has its day, and Russell definitely had his day.

This week, the top fomo trade spot goes to none other than @0xuberM, who netted a handy profit. 0xuberM perfectly saw the 67 bottom at $6.7M market cap (we all should’ve probably seen this coming).

The runner-up position belongs to another top trader on FOMO @astaso1, who had his own rendition on $67.

Lastly, for trade of the week, we have @LacosteTN26, who put some respect on Garry Tan’s (President of Y Combinator) name. Unfortunately, Garry has no clue what the point of his token is, as evidenced by this tweet.

Naturally, the top trade ranks will flip around as the week progresses. If you wish to stay on track, download fomo and keep your eyes peeled 👀
