On January 16, AI Auntie monitoring shows X has revoked API access for the InfoFi app, causing KAITO to drop 19% in 24 hours. Per the Kaito Dune dashboard, 25,798,188 KAITO tokens are currently staked (valued at ~$14.16 million), with an average of 589 tokens staked per address. Given KAITO’s 7-day unstaking lockup period, this staked supply has already faced 19% forced dilution. AI Auntie noted: “We can expect a wave of selling pressure in seven days—it hinges on whether the team can win over the market with a new strategy. That said, their response speed yesterday suggests they had advance preparation for this.”

On January 16, GMGN monitoring data shows most BSC meme coins saw a slight rebound this morning, with Year of the Horse-themed tokens posting relatively strong gains. “I Stepped on the Horse” is up ~10% over the past 6 hours, boasting an $18.3 million market cap and a current price of ~$0.0182. Meanwhile, other meme coins with seven-figure market caps—including “Dark Horse,” “Crying Horse,” “Success Horse,” and “Jumping Pony”—also logged notable gains today. Separately, the $1 pool meme coin “One” surged at open today, driven by the $1 trading competition. It now has an $8.8 million market cap, and its rally mirrors that of “Peace” and “BIG DON” — with a wave of suspected linked new addresses conducting concentrated on-chain trading. BlockBeats notes that meme coin trading is extremely volatile, heavily tied to market sentiment and hype, and lacks real value or utility. Investors should exercise caution and be fully aware of the risks.
