Recently, I’ve been eyeing a few altcoins and wanted to jot down my thoughts.

First, three coins that are about to be delisted: FIS, REI, and VOXEL. They’ll be officially delisted on December 17. Looking through past cases, there’s usually one last pump right before delisting—a farewell gift for the bag holders? I bought a little of each to play like a lottery ticket. FIS and VOXEL have both moved twice in the past couple of days, but REI has just been bleeding out. That actually makes me think REI might be holding back for a bigger move as the deadline approaches. After all, altcoins don’t follow the usual playbook anymore.

TAO is halving this month, and the price is just above 300 right now. Halving is still one of the strongest narratives in the crypto space, right? Even though the market is pretty sluggish at the moment, catching some hype from the halving for a rebound shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Then there’s SYRUP, that stablecoin DeFi protocol. The on-chain data has been pretty stable lately, and last week’s drop was just a belated correction—remember, it held strong during that black swan event on 10/11, so what’s this little pullback now? It’s almost bottomed out, so I’m just waiting for the rebound.
