Solana's OG Meme Coin WOULD Surges Past $1 Billion Market Cap Briefly, Currently Trading at $85 Million

2026.01.04 14:45:33

On Jan 4, GMGN monitoring data shows that meme coin WOULD on the Solana blockchain hit a peak market cap of over $110 million at noon. It has since retraced slightly to $85 million, with a current price of roughly $0.085—representing a nearly 80% gain in the past 24 hours. The token has been climbing since Jan 2, accumulating a total return of 223.5%. Monitoring shows that at 3 PM yesterday, the address with the largest 24-hour buy order (6kuz) purchased around 1.23 million WOULD tokens at an average price of $0.056 to chase the rally. It now holds an unrealized gain of 50%. This meme coin was created by WouldCoinDev on Twitter, stemming from a humorous tweet about Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. After Elon Musk tweeted “I love this meme” and shared the meme, the price surged sharply—at one point hitting a peak market cap of $700 million. The token has been live for 529 days. BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, heavily influenced by market sentiment and meme trends, and lacks actual value or use cases. Investors should exercise caution amid these risks.

Trend-following funds have taken a record short position in global bonds, with the US CPI report expected to be the key determinant of their profit and loss.

According to Bloomberg, data from UBS Group shows that Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs), which seek to profit from price movements across various asset classes, tripled their underweight positions in bonds in July from two weeks prior. Since then, these bets have remained stable. If the upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) push Treasury prices higher, the CTAs face the risk of losses. Strategist Nicolas Le Roux noted that a 1-basis-point move in the 10-year Treasury yield ahead of inflation data translates to roughly $300 million in profit or loss for CTAs, with this exposure being the largest UBS has recorded since it began compiling relevant data in 1990.

Brad Lightcap, head of special projects at OpenAI, is set to depart.

According to a report from The Information, Brad Lightcap, head of special projects and former chief operating officer (COO) of OpenAI, is set to leave the company. Over the past year, Lightcap’s internal responsibilities at OpenAI have undergone multiple adjustments, with his latest role being leading "special projects". A long-time core member of OpenAI’s management team, Lightcap shifted from his COO position to lead special projects in early 2026 during an executive reshuffle, overseeing cross-company matters including complex transactions and strategic investments, and reporting directly to CEO Sam Altman. His departure comes as OpenAI continues to expand its commercialization efforts, advance enterprise business and strategic partnerships. The company has previously implemented multiple rounds of organizational restructuring, including transferring some COO responsibilities to other executives. Brad Lightcap joined OpenAI in 2018, and prior to that held roles at Y Combinator and JPMorgan Chase. He was one of the key operations and business leaders during OpenAI’s transition from a research institute to a commercial AI company.
