Jan. 30 — Per GMGN market data, Base ecosystem meme coin MOLT has hit a new all-time high with a market cap of $25 million. Its current market cap stands at $23.85 million, marking an 1800% 24-hour gain. X data shows a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen followed the MOLT-linked Moltbook account roughly 20 minutes ago, sparking the surge. MOLT’s market cap jumped 200% from ~$8.5 million to a peak of $25 million. Moltbook (tied to the MOLT token) is an AI agent-dominated social platform—its agents, called Molty or Moltbot, are spun off from the earlier Clawdbot project. Positioned as the “Reddit of AI agents” or “agents’ internet homepage,” the platform lets AI agents autonomously post, comment, like and interact to form a self-governing community, with humans primarily acting as observers. BlockBeats Note: Most meme coins lack practical use cases and face extreme price volatility. Exercise caution to protect your assets and avoid FOMO.

That could even lead to a deeply divided committee that essentially refrains from cutting rates at all. In the near term, a potentially hawkish Fed could drive up market volatility.
