Gm traders, we hope you enjoyed your New Year.
January has already kicked off in interesting fashion, with a mix of geopolitical developments and on-chain chaos reminding us that 2026 could be a year to remember for crypto. Just a few days into the month, we’ve seen multiple memecoins rebound 2–3x off their lows, while BTC breaks the $91K level.
The PTSD from the previous months of downside is beginning to fade. Traders are becoming more optimistic, especially with the possibility of an on-chain season brewing over the next couple of months.
On-chain sentiment has clearly shifted compared to December and is now noticeably more risk-on. We’re seeing a shift across many coins, particularly in the meme space, with whales starting to re-enter the market.
Base is also gaining serious momentum, driven by Nick Shirley’s virality and a strong vision for Zora, which is expanding to focus heavily on on-chain markets and giving its users access to any coin launched on Solana. At the same time, WLFI is ramping up activity, with its founders and Donald Trump Jr. making noise on X and drawing additional attention and capital.
But just as we thought 2026 would be off to a smooth start, alarms went off around the world signalling Geopolitical tension between the US and Venezuela. The current situation around Venezuela could lead to short-term volatility in crypto as things unfold further.
But at the same time, sanctions and instability can be used to support long-term adoption of crypto.
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.
Wojak has been one of the strongest memes on-chain for the past few months and has shown that it is not ready to die
This is not just some new meme, it is the epitome of the internet in comparison to the greats like Pepe, so it’s no wonder this meme has shown such great strength on-chain.
Another major coin of the week, one you probably may have heard of in past newsletters, is the illustrious “White Whale,” despite not breaking new highs, the White Whale still shows strength holding the $60M market cap range.
Another coin really heating up the ecosystem is $1, the Bonk and USD1 ecosystem has been quiet for a while, but definitely not this week.
With a huge uptick in all coins across USD1 and Bonk pairs, the founders' words of a “USD1 Season” brewing may just be correct; only time will tell.
As always, keep track of the majors in the “most held” section directly inside the fomo app.
Moving on, we have Nick Shirley, arguably the most viral figure in media right now. And believe it or not, he’s launched his own coin on Zora. Talk about onboarding new users, this is exactly the kind of thing we want to see.
Although the coin has since retraced toward its lows, it had a monster run, rallying over 500% to a peak market cap of $15M, sparked by a tweet from popular X KOL Ansem.
As always, the top trending picks will rotate, so keep your eyes peeled on the fomo trending coins tab!
First, we start off with a Crypto Twitter Legend RuneCrypto_ , hitting a whopping near 6 figure trade on thenickshirley
Rune was one of the first people on fomo to understand the momentum of the trade and Nick Shirley’s virality and went in heavy and as a result hit our top trade of the week.
Next up, we have our good old friend Monerochan. It’s a name we haven’t heard in a while, but from the looks of it, people are still cooking.
Izebel_eth secured a juicy profit on the coin, continuing to deliver a masterclass in on-chain trading. The thesis is simple, privacy has become crypto’s last true moat and Monerochan represents Solana’s low-cap exposure to that narrative.
Lastly, we’ve got the one and only Andy. If you’ve been on fomo for a while, you’ve definitely seen this guy.
Andy showed exactly why HODL earned its spot, riding the move from a humble $80k market cap all the way to its current all-time highs around $2M.
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 👀
