Fomo address-tracking tools are spreading on X, but one long-form industry critique says the old “smart money” playbook is already breaking down

A long essay published by Ant.fun and carried by MarsBit argues that the surge of tools designed to map Fomo usernames to on-chain wallets, and vice versa, reflects a market habit that may no longer work. The article says those tools were built for a world where profitable wallets were controlled by identifiable individuals whose trades could be tracked and copied. In the author’s view, Fomo changes that premise because the winning accounts on the platform may be shaped less by individual edge and more by platform-level traffic allocation, incentives, and growth operations. The piece frames Fomo not as a better trading bot or a wallet wrapper, but as a platform with three layers: an account system, a social graph, and control over distribution. It also ties that thesis to Fomo’s backers, naming Benchmark Capital and Index Ventures as consumer internet investors rather than traditional crypto VCs, and argues that this shifts the valuation logic from token metrics toward mobile internet metrics such as user growth, retention, and monetization. From there, the article broadens into a larger claim about market structure. It says on-chain trading infrastructure is now taking shape across issuance, social accounts, spot activity, and derivatives through firms such as Pump.fun, Fomo, Hyperliquid, and trade.xyz, and that this infrastructure is being built by Western companies. In that framework, the old Chinese-language “smart money” narrative loses force because the market is rewarding platform control, not just informational advantage.

fomo rides Robinhood Chain trading surge as user growth, referrals and data infrastructure reshape its business

fomo has emerged as one of the most visible winners in the scramble for users and order flow tied to Robinhood Chain trading. Data from a Dune dashboard by Adam Tehc showed that on Aug. 31, GMGN accounted for about 43.6% of Robinhood Chain trading terminal volume and fomo took roughly 35.6%, putting their combined share near 79.2%. Within fomo itself, Robinhood Chain made up about 75% of daily volume that day, ahead of Solana at around 20%, BNB Chain at 3.4% and Base at 1%, based on the latest chart interval cited by the source. The company’s own numbers point to a sharp expansion. fomo said its total user count had passed 1.9 million as of Aug. 31, with more than 1.2 million users active in August and more than 30,000 new users joining each day. Monthly trading volume rose from $500 million in June to $1.5 billion in July, and the company projected August volume above $2.8 billion. It also estimated about $17 million in monthly revenue for August, equivalent to more than $200 million on an annualized basis. The article links that growth to three connected mechanisms — referrals, Trader Rewards and Clans — as well as a broader product buildout across web trading, perpetuals and cross-chain access. On the infrastructure side, fomo said it acquired proprietary software and intellectual property developed by Mobula, while Axios, citing CEO Paul Erlanger, reported the deal was worth $17 million.

Maji’s TAIWAN Token Stalls as Early Crypto KOLs Lose Trading Influence

Maji, the crypto personality known as Big Brother Maji, launched the TAIWAN meme token on Robinhood Chain on Sept. 1, pairing it with the stock token TSM. He said he would test a zero-inventory launch and buy in through the open market like other users. Data cited by Odaily shows that Maji bought $7,636.24 worth of TAIWAN at an average market capitalization of $769,000 and had not sold by publication time. TAIWAN briefly reached a $1.7 million market cap before falling to about $600,000, with only slightly more than 1,000 holders. Its liquidity pool held about $200,000, while creator fees totaled $4,784.28. The report also reviews Maji’s earlier projects, including Mithril, Cream Finance and Boba Oppa, and compares his recent performance with that of Him, Wang Xiaoer, 0xSun and Crypto D. Wang Xiaoer’s BONER call pushed the token to a peak market cap of $90 million, while JOHNDOG, backed by 0xSun and Crypto D, reached only $2.5 million. The figures point to a divided comeback for early crypto market leaders as newer traders attract social-trading users.

FOMO Social Trading Guide: How to Find Traders and Tokens

FOMO is drawing a broader mix of crypto traders after first gaining traction among Meme coin participants. The platform now also has users active in secondary-market trading and derivatives trading, while @seyong said FOMO is adding an average of 30 new users per minute. This guide explains how to configure the Global feed, use Clans to identify shared conviction, and read five key tabs: Crypto, Trending, Most Held, Graduated and Gainers. The recommended workflow starts with Graduated for newly listed tokens, moves to Trending to measure attention, checks Most Held for continued ownership, and ends with Gainers to see whether a token has already moved too far. Clans can help traders identify members who repeatedly publish theses and buy the same token before a major move, but rankings should be checked against a member's latest 20 trades because a few large positions or a single profitable trade can distort a team's PnL. FOMO alerts may also arrive after the original entry, making a 10% to 20% move materially different from the trader's position. The platform is best treated as an Alpha radar, not an automatic copy-trading tool. Signal delays, potentially distorted PnL, slippage and liquidity risk still require users to make their own decisions.

Social Trading App Weekly Volume Nears $1.3B, Next Roaring Kitty Could Emerge

Syncracy Capital co-founder Ryan Watkins said social trading apps, which combine market data, public trade records, discussion and execution, could spawn the next Roaring Kitty. DefiLlama shows weekly volume on such apps neared $1.3 billion through Aug. 24. Fomo and Pump are pulling daily active users close to Polymarket, Hyperliquid and Phantom, with each platform at roughly 60,000 to 100,000. Pump has paid out over $450 million to token deployers, with typical Meme coin swap fees of 2% to 3%. Social trading apps represent about 33% of Hyperliquid developer-code volume. The SEC has warned that social media recommendations may involve pump-and-dump, undisclosed promotions, scalping and impersonation, while illiquid Meme coins could hinder large-scale copy trading.

Social Trading Apps Drive Onchain Rally, Weekly Volume Nears $1.3B

Social trading apps are gaining momentum as a driver of the current onchain rally, with weekly trading volume approaching $1.3 billion, according to data cited by Syncracy Capital co-founder Ryan Watkins. Speaking on Sept. 1, Watkins said these platforms will bring together market data, public trading records, discussion and trade execution. He predicted the emergence of individual traders displaying nine-figure trading results, profit-and-loss leaderboard users with large followings, and online groups commanding significant capital. Watkins also suggested that the next Roaring Kitty could surface through a social trading app. On-chain metrics for the week ending Aug. 24 put social trading app weekly volume near $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, Fomo and Pump have each drawn 60,000 to 100,000 daily active users, approaching the user numbers of Polymarket, Hyperliquid and Phantom. The figures highlight the growing role of social trading apps in the current onchain rally.

fomo acquires Mobula software and IP to build out in-house on-chain data stack

Social-first on-chain trading platform fomo said it has acquired proprietary software and intellectual property developed by on-chain data aggregation and infrastructure company Mobula, with part of the Mobula team set to join fomo as it builds its own data capabilities. The deal comes as fomo reported sharp operating growth since early July: total users have doubled to more than 1.9 million, daily new users have topped 30,000, and monthly active users in August exceeded 1.2 million. The company also said its iOS App Store ranking in the finance category reached as high as No. 3. On the business side, fomo said trading volume rose from $500 million in June to $1.5 billion in July, and August is on track for more than $2.8 billion in monthly volume and roughly $17 million in monthly revenue. Co-founder and CEO Paul Erlanger said the acquisition gives the company greater control over its infrastructure as it scales. Mobula founder Sacha Marcus, CTO Sacha Delhoux, and infrastructure lead Cyril Conan will join fomo’s engineering team.
