According to Odaily, fomo co-founder Se Yong posted 「nfts are back」 on X alongside two NFT images. In the comment section, he added that some people like buying watches with their profits, while he personally prefers digital products. That combination of remarks has led some community members to speculate that fomo may be signaling future support for NFT trading. The report does not say that any product launch has been confirmed. At this stage, the discussion remains based on Se Yong’s public post and the community’s interpretation of it. The signal being discussed is the wording of the post, the use of NFT images, and his follow-up comment about preferring digital products.

fomo co-founder Se Yong says platform has 1.3 million users and is betting on mobile social trading

fomo co-founder Se Yong said in an Aug. 12 interview that the social meme trading platform has reached about 1.3 million users and is adding roughly 30,000 new users a day. He said the company is not trying to become a traditional pro-grade meme trading terminal. Instead, it wants to simplify cross-chain trading, make trust visible through public rankings, and turn trading into a social product that can reach users beyond crypto-native circles. In the interview, Se Yong also described how he first entered crypto through trading on Avalanche in 2021, how painful cross-chain flows on Base helped shape the product idea behind fomo, and why he sees mobile trading and social trading as the two core directions for the platform. He said the team wants users to think less about whether funds sit on SOL, ETH, or BNB and more about having a single usable balance. Se Yong added that fomo recently launched Clans, a new social feature that lets users join groups, view holdings, and compete on public leaderboards. Over time, he said, the feature could expand into internal chat, recruiting, subscriptions, shared treasuries, and even public clan addresses for airdrops. On competition, he said rival products are healthy and that fomo’s goal is to grow the overall market rather than protect a narrow slice of existing crypto users.

FOMO co-founder Se Yong says traders are becoming the next generation of internet celebrities

FOMO co-founder Se Yong used a 43-minute interview with host Maurits to lay out what the mobile social trading app is trying to build, why it took longer than outsiders think to find product-market fit, and why he believes public trading records can turn traders into public figures. He said FOMO has grown to more than 1.3 million users in 18 months, is adding about 30,000 users a day recently, generated more than $2 million in fees this week, and is now valued at $550 million. Se Yong described FOMO not as another crypto terminal but as “a trading app for the rest of us,” built around a broader ambition to become the social graph of finance. He linked that vision to a product design philosophy centered on trust, simple cash-denominated balances, fast cross-chain execution, and social transparency through leaderboards and public P&L. The interview also covered his own trading background, the missed Base memecoin trade that helped spark the idea for FOMO, his list of top traders and creators, the early beta rollout of Clans, and his view that crypto onboarding is shifting away from Crypto Twitter toward TikTok, Instagram, and word of mouth. Across the conversation, Se Yong returned to the same point: users, influence, and public transparency matter more to FOMO than status metrics alone.
