A part of CCC[1] is giant black holes outlasting the end of the universe to be around for the beginning of the next one. Is this a potential explanation?

In CCC, black holes all evaporate before that.

Do they? One of the papers in support of CCC found patterns in the CMB that might have been black holes remaining from the last cycle. I wonder if they'd start eating the new matter created by the big bang and survive.

They (think they) found traces of the last black holes evaporating. That has to finish happening before the next CCC cycle.
