According to Odaily, data from GMGN shows that the Solana ecosystem memecoin fone's market cap briefly surpassed $30 million and is now reported at approximately $23.56 million, with an intraday increase of over 58 times.
In terms of narrative, fone revolves around the concept of "apeonfone," summarizing the trend of memecoin trading becoming increasingly mobile and social as "an ape on a phone." The project community compares this to the previous cycle's dogwifhat narrative of "a dog with a hat," emphasizing a trading approach where users browse social media on their phones, receive calls to action, and directly buy memecoins.

Under the rule, regulators must tie determinations that a practice is "unsafe or unsound" to actual violations of law or significant financial risk, thereby reducing the likelihood of pressuring banks—including those serving legitimate clients such as crypto companies—over vague reputational or procedural concerns. The rule marks another important step toward dismantling "Operation Choke Point 2.0."
