In September, prediction markets more than doubled volume to $4.3B (+126%), their strongest month ever. 📈

🔸Kalshi took the crown with $2.74B (+214%, 64% share)
🔸Polymarket grew 41% to $1.42B (33% share)
🔸Limitless +1,962% to $103M
🔸Myriad +61% to $4.4M

Meanwhile, Solana memecoin trading slumped 38% to $19B — still 4x larger, but the shift is clear. 👀

Degens may be finding new trenches in election odds, macro data, sports & pop culture bets instead of meme coins ⚡️📊

Plasma hit mainnet beta last week, locking $5.5B TVL and pushing its XPL token to a $2.3B market cap. But degens quickly launched meme coins on the chain too.

⚡️ The star: Trillions — born from a viral meme about the stablecoin market reaching “trillions.” It skyrocketed to a $60M cap before crashing to ~$18M.

Other tokens (Bankless, Luna, Pepe clones) also pumped via DyorSwap.

Despite not endorsing memes, Plasma now ranks 5th among stablecoin networks — but the community is shouting only one word: Trillions. 🚀

😁

CEO Shayne Coplan called it surreal, since he grew up watching the show. 👶

The episode also gave a nod to rival prediction market Kalshi.

Crypto degens, we’ve officially crossed into pop culture 📺🚀

Yesterday, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko retweeted a post from Perp DEX Quanto — instantly sending $QTO skyrocketing within minutes. 🚀

Then came accusations that Quanto’s team were serial scammers. Anatoly admitted his mistake, deleted the tweet — and $QTO crashed just as fast. 🤷

Later, claims of scams turned out to be FUD, and the token bounced back (though with less hype).

Manipulation or an honest slip? Either way, Solana $QTO got a free rollercoaster ride 🎢

Last night, a random post appeared on Sam Bankman-Fried’s Twitter (yep, the jailbird himself). Within minutes, FTT — aka the official coin of collapsed FTX — skyrocketed nearly +50%. 🚀

Turns out it wasn’t SBF… just his “friend” borrowing the account. Classic crypto: one tweet, instant pump, zero logic 📈📉
