On December 23rd, per GMGN monitoring (link: https://t.me/gmgnaibot?start=i_m4TE56o8), Solana-based meme coin Snowball hit a daily high market cap of over $11 million today. It has since slightly retraced to $8.1 million, with a current price of roughly $0.008. This meme coin is the first on Solana to automatically allocate 100% of Pump.fun platform creator fees to its own liquidity. Launched just four days ago, discussions around it on X are continuing to heat up. Some optimists argue its mechanism creates sustainable genuine buying pressure, driving a "snowball" growth pattern — and it ties into the Christmas theme. Skeptics, however, note it’s still in a FOMO-fueled market, with potential risks of developer wallet sell-offs. The token’s core identity is a meme coin; its innovative mechanism is only an added value. BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, heavily reliant on market sentiment and hype, and lacks real-world value or use cases. Investo

**December 23rd** Per GMGN monitoring, shortly after the BNB Chain official Twitter account posted a tweet featuring CZ as an “elf on the shelf” at 4 PM ET today, multiple Meme coins sharing the same name popped up quickly on the BSC chain. The earliest issued token briefly surged to a market cap of $200,000. Monitoring shows 22 related whale addresses are active, plus 314 wallets executing batch transactions via MEV bundling. However, the tweet was deleted shortly after posting—triggering the corresponding Meme coin’s market cap to plummet to $13,000. Against recent muted market conditions and thin liquidity, the market remains highly sensitive. Traders are closely watching major official announcements for narrative-driven opportunities, and the frequency of rapid speculation via bundled transactions and whale manipulation has spiked. Previously, He Yi replied on X: “You don’t need to look for angles in official Vs or editors—we won’t be paying attention to these Meme coins

On December 23, Greeks.live noted in a social media post that this week falls during the Christmas holiday—with U.S. stock markets closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. During this period, institutional and retail investors in Europe and the U.S. typically step back from trading, a trend that usually holds until after New Year’s Day. This Friday (the 26th) marks the annual settlement day, with over 50% of current total options open interest set to expire. Most institutions have opted to roll over positions in advance. Since last week, implied volatility (IV) across all major expiry dates has fallen sharply, alongside a rise in block trades. Combined with declining volatility, the Christmas trading lull, and year-end position rolling, Bitcoin’s IV for all key expiry dates has dropped by more than 5% over the past month—with short-to-medium-term IV down over 10%. Ethereum has seen an even steeper IV decline. Collectively, these data signal subdued market expectations: co
