What stood out
$KIMCHIBULL (GNE7e774tkGyxMMzP36ofhNuRrUZ15H4e1LE1xekpump), listed as "Aura Final Bull", was bought out in its launch block and borrowed its name from $Kimchi (CSocnzcRpgSCr1naKcNTieWZUxb6rABe45j844m7pump), "Aura Final Boss", which was the busiest coin again. It peaked at $11.7M and traded 48,518 SOL over 39,766 trades from 5,580 wallets. The close was $6.9M.

On X
$Kimchi (CSocnzcRpgSCr1naKcNTieWZUxb6rABe45j844m7pump) gave the timeline two origin stories at once. @Kingstaccz posted "I developed $kimchi it really went to 36 million in 1 hour." Per @Drallio, Kimchi posted a YouTube video with a wallet address in the description, someone sent that address 75% of the supply, and the coin hit a $45M market cap within an hour. @tikoxbt called it fake hype and wrote that the account the coin is named after holds 75% of supply. As of 05:03 UTC on 2026-10-22, the biggest holder, Gs5FHwYLrDBmCmiv5VhBLCvyiBmBYfcPedZDqR88GYeX, holds 75.0%, with 0.00% received by plain transfer, 0.00 SOL bought and 0 sells. The wallet that launched the coin, EFSr396A6Jh7bNCSujGRLMkyXspbWitEvjNVatGD56oF, started with 79.3%, sold 4.31% of the supply in 18 sells between 23:01 and 23:16 UTC on 2026-10-20, and holds 0.01% now.
$CYBER (CMo7GfUhSGXuEfnY7qAzv8hhsV2M2P8GpWqmWikhpump) was CT chasing a single word. A smaller account wrote that the coin rides Trump using the term cybercurrency at a White House cybercrime roundtable, and that it was minted 35 seconds after a post tying the ticker to that word. @mickeymantled posted that the official White House rapid response account was using the word too. Another smaller account, caught in the trenches PvP, complained of being vamped over the ticker, and a smaller account's recap had it reaching $1.4M before dropping 70%. As of 05:03 UTC on 2026-10-22, the chain shows the wallet that launched the coin, F5XvCe4233m6mHRbkkq2ZsFvqrPAnRrDBExeQy2fwagQ, starting with 9.75% and selling 9.75% of the supply in 21 sells, all at 22:25 UTC on 2026-10-21. It holds 0.00% now. Wallets that sold without buying number 1,115 and sold 30.9% of the supply for 1,287 SOL. The biggest holder has 2.09%.

The "What stood out" section was written by a model from the day's figures and checked: every number and address in it is one the day's data carries.
