Halloween is here, and with the big holidays come the holiday-inspired meme coins. 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 seeing a surge of holiday-themed meme coins, a recurring phenomenon tied to major festivities like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and even the Chinese New Year.
These coins usually emerge a few weeks before the holiday, riding a wave of hype and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). While they often experience rapid price increases, they crash just before the holiday.

Solana is hosting a wave of Halloween-themed meme coins, with some making headlines due to their wild price action. One standout is CHIIKAWA, which skyrocketed to a market cap of $250 million within hours of its launch, only to drop back down to $35 million just hours later. Unlocked liquidity is a very strong red flag.

Another example is BOO, which raised eyebrows with its $10 million trading volume in just four hours—despite red flags like no locked liquidity, sparking concerns that it might be a scam. Often, these scams have trading bots that fake volume and transactions, making them look legit.

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