Halloween is here, and with the big holidays comes holiday-inspired meme pieces. It’s the same thing every year. Be careful investing in them; They might have a scary surprise in store for you!
As Halloween approaches, the crypto world is experiencing a wave of holiday-themed coins, a recurring phenomenon tied to major festivities like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and even Chinese New Year.
These pieces typically emerge a few weeks before the holidays, riding a wave of hype and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). While they often experience rapid price increases, they crash right before the holidays.
The Rise of Holiday-Themed Meme Coins: Trick or Treat for Investors?

Solana is home to a wave of Halloween-themed meme coins, some making headlines for their wild price action. One of the most notable stocks is CHIIKAWA, which soared to a market capitalization of $250 million within hours of its launch, only to fall back to $35 million a few hours later. Unlocked liquidity is a very strong red flag.

Another example is BOO, which raised eyebrows with its trading volume of $10 million in just four hours, despite red flags like no blocked liquidity, sparking fears that it could be ‘a scam. Often, these scams use trading bots that falsify volume and transactions, making them appear legitimate.

While these holiday coins can be attractive, especially because they can swell exponentially, they are also notoriously risky. The nature of these tokens makes them prime targets for fraudsters, who take advantage of the fleeting hype to launch fraudulent projects with little or no security measures in place.
The “spooky” theme adds excitement and danger just days before Halloween.
The potential for quick profits can be tempting for traders, but the risks are high. Without proper research and precautions, you could easily fall victim to fraud or a scam, especially in an environment where liquidity is not locked in and the legitimacy of the project is questionable.
As always, trade carefully and don’t let holiday hype blind you to the risks.
