This week on Fomo: X Cashtags, Elysium and a $250K ZEC short
Between November 9 and 13, 2026, Fomo added an eighth chain, put a Trade on fomo button on X cashtags and started showing a project's announcements inside the app. This is each change with its date and source, the trades Fomo's accounts posted during the week, and what we could not check.
November 9: Elysium becomes Fomo's eighth chain
Elysium is a layer 2 network for Hyperliquid, built by Kinetiq. Its mainnet opened on Monday, November 9, and Fomo had it in the app that day, after Solana, Base, BNB Chain, Monad, Ethereum, Robinhood Chain and Arc.
It works like the other chains. You buy Elysium tokens from the same cash balance, and although the network runs on HYPE you never hold any: Fomo takes the network fee out of the amount you enter and shows it before you confirm. The fee is 0.5% a trade plus that network fee. Trades in Elysium tokens also pay double trader rewards, which Fomo's own card says are powered by Elysium.
The Fomo Elysium page covers deposits, withdrawals and the risks of a network this new, which launched with a single sequencer.
November 10: a Trade on fomo button on X
This was the biggest change of the week. Fomo's post read:
Tap the cashtag, trade it on fomo. Available for all @solana tokens.
@fomo on X, November 10, 2026
A cashtag is a ticker with a dollar sign, like $SOL. X has shown a small market page behind each one since April 2026, and since September it has had a Trade button for a handful of US brokers and exchanges. Fomo is now on that button for Solana tokens, so a coin you read about in a post is one tap from the buy screen.
Two days later Fomo posted the tokens people had clicked most since launch, the picture at the top of this post. A Solana token called mihao came first, SOL itself second and cate third. Fomo gave the order and no click counts.
A button on X makes it easier to buy the moment a post excites you, and with a memecoin that is often the worst moment to buy. How the button works, what it costs and where it shows up is on the Fomo X Cashtags page.
November 11: project news inside the app
Fomo started carrying announcements from Kinetiq, the team behind Elysium. Its post said:
Receive @Kinetiq_xyz updates on fomo. News and announcements in the same place you trade.
@fomo on X, November 11, 2026
Fomo's graphic shows where they appear: in the Feed tab of Kinetiq's token, KNTQ, marked with a Team tag. The feed has mostly been traders talking about tokens, and this puts a project's own announcements next to them. Kinetiq is the only team the post names.
November 11: first in The Information's ranking
Co-founder Paul Erlanger posted a table from The Information that puts Fomo first in the Crypto & Fintech section of its startup ranking. The article is behind a paywall, so all we have read is that table. We do not know how the ranking was scored.
The trades Fomo shared this week
Fomo's second account on X, @tryfomo, posts trades from the app, and @fomo reposts them. These five went out between November 9 and 12.
| Trader and trade | What the post said |
|---|---|
| @0x_Leo_ ZEC short, $1.2M, opened November 9 | Closed on November 12 for $250K in profit. Fomo called him its number one perps trader. |
| fxcxc NVDA short, $2.1M at 20x | Up $104,739 on November 11, the day it opened, with an entry at $167.68. |
| @ResellCalendar $349 into one token | Worth $116K on November 12, a 330x return, with nothing sold. |
| @GuavaGuy2001 $2K into one token | Worth $230K on November 11, with most of the position still held. |
| @MINHxDYNASTY Bought near a $300K market cap | Up $200K on November 11 and selling in parts on the way up. |
All five are winners, because those are the trades a company posts. Only the ZEC short was closed when its post went out. The other four were still open, so those gains were on paper. A 20x short like the NVDA one loses its whole margin if the price moves less than 5% the other way, and Fomo perps are not open to US persons.
You can follow any of these traders in the app and copy a trade with one tap. Copying a trade after it has been posted means getting in later than the trader did, usually at a worse price. The Fomo copy trading page explains the risk.
What we could not check
- Which countries and devices show the Trade on fomo button. Fomo's post does not say.
- How The Information scored its ranking. The article is paywalled.
- Which tokens the three spot trades were in. The posts are videos and their text does not name the coins.
