Cisco Talos launches CAIRN framework to detect AI-integrated malware

Cisco’s cybersecurity unit Talos has introduced a new framework called CAIRN aimed at detecting and defending against malware that incorporates artificial intelligence. According to the Techub News brief, the framework is built around a clear concern: attackers are already able to exploit AI with relatively simple methods, which raises the pressure on security teams to adapt their defenses quickly. Talos said threat detection designed for AI-driven attacks needs to evolve at a faster pace, and the release of CAIRN highlights what it sees as an urgent need for more advanced behavioral analysis. The brief cited Crypto Briefing in attributing the development. No additional technical specifications, deployment timeline, or product details were disclosed in the source text.

Study tracks meme coin lifespans: fast peaks, slow collapses

A CoinMetrics study based on Talos market data examines how long meme coins typically take to move from first trade to all-time high and then to a 95% drawdown. Looking at 150 meme coins launched after BONK’s December 2023 debut, the report found that the median time to reach an all-time high was just 17.2 days, and one quarter of tokens peaked within 1.6 days. The decline phase lasted much longer: the median time from peak to a 95% drop was 370 days. The study uses a Kaplan-Meier estimator, a method commonly used in clinical trials to measure median survival time, and applies it to token price behavior. It also warns that the sample is skewed toward relatively successful projects because only tokens with price data from at least one centralized exchange were included. Meme coins issued directly on platforms such as shturl.c and PONS without centralized exchange market data were excluded, which likely overstates how long a typical low-quality meme coin survives. Beyond price, the report also looks at Solana on-chain activity, using active addresses with balances above $1. It finds a similar pattern: activity usually peaks once and struggles to recover. For leading meme coins, less than 7% of active addresses remained after peak activity. The report concludes that long-term performance looks weak, even as meme coin speculation keeps spreading across new platforms and formats.

Study finds meme coins peak fast, but the slide to a 95% drawdown takes much longer

A market study by Victor Ramirez, translated by Saoirse for Foresight News, examines how long meme coins typically last from first trade to collapse. Using a Kaplan-Meier survival model and a sample of 150 meme tokens from Talos market data, the report defines a token’s life cycle through three milestones: first trade, all-time high, and a 95% drawdown from that high. The sample is limited to tokens launched after BONK’s listing in December 2023, when the Solana meme coin wave began. The headline numbers are stark. The median time for a meme coin to reach its all-time high after first trading is 17.2 days, and one quarter of tokens top out in just 1.6 days. By contrast, the median time from the all-time high to a 95% collapse is 370 days. Looking at broader performance, more than half of the tokens in the study are down 95% from their peaks, and only 5 out of 151 sampled tokens still trade above their first-day price. The report also argues that the sample likely overstates survival because it only includes tokens that generated market data on at least one centralized exchange. Many tokens issued directly through low-friction launch platforms such as shturl.c were excluded. Even so, the data shows that most meme coins never recover meaningfully once activity and price peak, with on-chain active address retention for leading names falling below 7% after their activity highs.

Study finds most meme coins peak fast and rarely reclaim prior highs

A market study cited by TechFlowPost argues that the typical meme coin boom is brief, while the decline stretches on much longer. Using a Kaplan-Meier survival model and a sample of 150 meme tokens from the Talos market database, the report measures the full lifecycle from first exchange trade to all-time high and then to a 95% drawdown from that peak. The median time from first trade to all-time high was 17.2 days, and one quarter of tokens peaked in just 1.6 days. After reaching an all-time high, the median time to a 95% collapse was 370 days. The sample was limited to tokens launched after BONK’s listing in December 2023, when the Solana meme coin wave accelerated, and only included assets with market data from at least one centralized exchange. The report says that condition skews the sample toward relatively successful tokens and likely overstates the survival time of the broader universe of low-quality meme coins issued directly on launch platforms such as shturl.c and PONS. The study also finds that more than half of the tokens now trade 95% below their all-time highs, only 5 out of 151 sampled tokens remain above their first-day price, and roughly two-thirds never stage a second rally. A separate on-chain activity analysis on Solana shows a similar pattern, with active addresses proving difficult to rebuild after the first peak.

Meme coin study finds 66% peak only once, with half completing the full boom-bust cycle in about 456 days

A market study cited by MarsBit paints a bleak long-term picture for meme coins, even as the sector keeps drawing traders and liquidity into newer blockchain ecosystems. Using a sample of 150 meme tokens from Talos market data, the report defines a token’s lifecycle through three points: first exchange trade, all-time high, and a 95% drawdown from that peak. The median time from first trade to all-time high was just 17.2 days, while one quarter of tokens peaked in only 1.6 days. After reaching that high, the median time to a 95% collapse was 370 days. The report also found that more than half of the sampled meme coins were down 95% from their all-time highs, and only 5 out of 151 tokens still traded above their first-day price. In the Solana meme coin era, 50% of tokens completed the full path from launch to all-time high to a 95% decline within an average of 456 days, and roughly 90% had fallen 95% from peak by day 1,000. The authors said two-thirds of meme coins never staged a second rally and effectively peaked only once. At the same time, the study warns that the sample is biased toward relatively successful tokens because every asset included had exchange price data from at least one centralized venue. That means the findings likely overstate the survival time of the broader meme coin universe, especially tokens launched directly on low-friction issuance platforms.

Meme coin study finds 66% rally only once, with half completing the cycle in 456 days

A report cited by Odaily examines the lifecycle of meme coins using a survival analysis model and a sample of 150 tokens from the Talos market database. The study focuses on coins launched after BONK’s listing in December 2023, when the Solana meme coin wave began to accelerate. It defines three points in a token’s market life: first trade on an exchange, all-time high, and a 95% drawdown from that peak. The report’s headline numbers are stark. The median time for a meme coin to reach its all-time high after first trading is 17.2 days, and one quarter of the sample peaks in just 1.6 days. After hitting that high, the median time to fall 95% is 370 days. In a broader sample of 151 tokens, only five were still trading above their first-day price, while more than half had dropped 95% from their all-time highs. The analysis also argues that roughly two-thirds of meme coins from the Solana era never stage a second rally, effectively peaking once and failing to revisit those levels. On-chain activity shows a similar pattern: among leading meme coins, fewer than 7% of active addresses remain after activity peaks. The report says the findings should be read as a model demonstration rather than a precise universal rule, since the sample is skewed toward relatively successful tokens that made it onto at least one centralized exchange.

Source says Wells Fargo is in talks with Payward on crypto liquidity partnership

Wells Fargo is discussing a crypto liquidity partnership with Payward, the parent company of Kraken, according to CoinDesk, which cited a source. If an agreement is reached, Payward would serve as the bank’s crypto liquidity provider. The talks point to a possible expansion of Wells Fargo’s crypto-related services, though no deal has been announced. The report also notes that Wells Fargo already allows eligible wealth management clients to trade spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. In addition, the bank has invested in crypto compliance company Elliptic and trading technology provider Talos. Those existing moves show the bank has already built exposure to parts of the digital asset market tied to compliance, trading infrastructure, and client access to regulated Bitcoin products. No further terms of the potential cooperation were disclosed in the source report.

Coin Metrics maps the life cycle of meme coins: 17.2 days to peak, 370 days to a 95% drawdown

Coin Metrics used survival analysis to measure how long a representative meme coin actually lasts in the market, using a sample of 150 tokens issued after BONK’s December 2023 listing and the broader expansion of the Solana meme coin era. The study defined three milestones in a token’s market life: first exchange trade, all-time high, and a 95% drawdown from that high. Using the Kaplan-Meier estimator, the report found that the median meme coin reached its all-time high just 17.2 days after first trading, while a quarter peaked within 1.6 days. The median time from all-time high to a 95% collapse came in at 370 days. Coin Metrics also found that more than half of the tokens were trading over 95% below their highs, 81% had fallen more than 90% from peak, and only five tokens in the sample ever reclaimed their all-time high. The report said the sample likely overstates the lifespan of a typical launchpad meme coin because every token included had price data from at least one centralized exchange. It also showed that on-chain activity rarely recovers after peaking, with major meme coins on Solana now sitting at less than 7% of their peak count of active addresses holding at least $1.
