THE NEW TIKTOK🫡
$REDNOTE | $0.0005101 | $510 Thousand | -60.9% |
As TikTok’s U.S. ban looms, creators are flocking to RedNote, a Chinese social app gaining traction as a TikTok alternative. Despite challenges like its primarily Chinese interface, RedNote has surged in downloads, now boasting over 300 million active monthly users globally and 260,000 U.S. downloads in January 2025 alone, an 867% increase from the prior year.
Currently, RedNote's market cap sits at $510, down 60% today. The coin saw a 24-hour trading volume of $3.1 million, with analysts predicting potential growth for the app as TikTok’s ban deadline approaches. Over 60,000 posts with the hashtag #TikTokRefugee highlight its popularity among displaced creators. Despite the surge, questions remain about its ability to rival TikTok's 1.5 billion monthly users and whether its Chinese origins could lead to regulatory scrutiny in the U.S.
The U.S. Government watching Americans jump from TikTok (not even a Chinese owned app) to RedNote (which is in fact a Chinese owned app)

THE IRONY OF THE SEC🗣
$HOWEYCOINS | $0.0007369 | $736 Thousand | +868% |
In what might be the ultimate crypto plot twist, HoweyCoins, the SEC’s satirical attempt to warn investors about fraudulent ICOs in 2018, has somehow become a real token. Originally launched as an educational tool, HoweyCoins poked fun at the overly hyped promises and vague jargon of fake coin offerings. But the tables have turned, and now HoweyCoins boasts a market cap of $736 Thousand after briefly peaking at $10 million.
Could there be a funnier turn of events and a bigger f.u to anti crypto figures like Gary Gensler? Watching HoweyCoins trade like a legitimate asset is both absurd and poetic. It’s a reminder that in crypto, the most ridiculous narratives often attract the most attention. For the real degens, finding opportunities like this is what separates the trenches from the tourists. stay terminally online, its the key to generational wealth.

MEMECOINS ARE GOING GLOBAL
$MOMO | $0.006093 | $5.9 Million | +70% |
As TikTok faces a potential ban ahead of Trump’s inauguration, Xiaohongshu (often called the "Chinese Instagram") has surged to the top of the Apple App Store. Unsurprisingly, Xiaohongshu themed tokens like $Momo are riding this wave of popularity.
Launched recently, $Momo already boasts a $5.9 million market cap with $11.9 million in trading volume. Inspired by the “Momo” meme, a symbol of anonymity in China’s internet culture, this token’s story highlights a fascinating crossover of Chinese internet trends and global crypto.
You know this token.
Now we're gearing up for Chinese New Year and the soon to be launched NFT $momo collectionCHVggq5Bu2UKLB1MQtLciDV3UKv5hwLkJwA14egApump

PUMP FUN 1st BIRTHDAY
Pump.fun, Solana’s no-code token launcher, has solidified its position as one of the most valuable crypto applications. Since its debut in January 2024, the platform has generated over $400M in yearly revenue, with $150M of that coming since November 2024. It also boasts over 13M wallet interactions and 6B token launches, making up 56.7% of Solana DEX transactions.
Despite its commercial success, Pump.fun has faced criticism for the profitability of its users. Analyst Adam Tehc revealed that only 0.04% of Pump.fun traders have made more than $10k, while just 0.00217%—293 wallets—have surpassed $1M in realized profits. To be fair, I don’t get why pump fun is getting criticism, just hit your shots kid, do better, be better.
Pump.fun's dead!
Meanwhile the trading volume 👇
consistently still 250 to 300 million daily
