December 22 — Per GMGN monitoring via its Telegram bot (https://t.me/gmgnaibot?start=i_m4TE56o8), Solana-based meme coin Snowball continues to surge, with a 24-hour gain exceeding 500%. It hit a peak market cap of $8 million, currently trades at around $7.6 million, and has a current price of $0.0076. This meme coin is the first on Solana to automatically allocate 100% of Pump.fun platform creator fees to its own liquidity. Launched three days ago, discussions about it on X are gaining traction. Some supporters argue its mechanism creates sustainable real buying pressure, driving a "snowball" growth pattern tied to the Christmas theme. Skeptics, however, note the potential risk: developer wallets still hold accumulated tokens from sales earmarked for liquidity, and the current surge is viewed as a short-term high-risk FOMO play. BlockBeats reminds users: Meme coin trading is highly volatile, heavily reliant on market sentiment and speculative hype, with no inherent value or us

December 22: CryptoQuant analyst Axel noted in a post that Bitcoin is entering the Christmas market window. Market sentiment gauges point to bullishness that’s not yet overheated, while fresh short liquidations have amplified the buyer-dominant market asymmetry. Derivatives market dynamics show Bitcoin futures are largely driven by short liquidations right now, creating mechanical buying pressure that’s pushing prices higher. The market is shifting into a state of “bullish neutrality,” with positive expected returns ahead.

On December 22, KobeissiLetter released data showing the current surge in the U.S. stock market is historic. U.S. households now hold a larger share of their net worth in stocks than in real estate—only the third time this has occurred in the past 65 years. In Q2 2025, corporate stocks and mutual funds accounted for roughly 31% of household net worth, hitting a record high. That ratio has more than doubled since 2008, compared to a peak of about 25% during the 2000 dot-com bubble. Meanwhile, the share of U.S. household real estate assets in total net worth dropped below 30% in Q2 2025—marking the first time since 2021. It also remains far below the 38% peak seen just before the 2006 U.S. housing bubble burst.
