Trader Bonk Guy (Unipcs) posted that he has long considered USELESS to be this cycle's equivalent to DOGE, SHIB, or PEPE, yet many continue to disregard it. He noted that South Korea's two major centralized exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, listed USELESS just hours apart today, granting it a major new distribution channel from one of the world's key crypto markets. Bonk Guy further emphasized that attention should remain on whether USELESS will be listed on Hyperliquid, Robinhood, or Binance Spot next. He argued that instead of debating whether USELESS will emerge as this cycle's flagship memecoin, focus should shift to how high its price can potentially reach, as the underlying pattern is becoming increasingly clear. He also noted that investors can either accumulate USELESS now or wait until its market cap reaches several billion dollars, perceiving that stage as "safer".

Odaily News Analyst Killa stated on platform X that, based on historical performance, when BTC begins to form a bottom and slowly trends upward, it often represents a favorable accumulation phase for altcoins. During the previous cycle, as BTC rose from $16,000 to $74,000, a large number of altcoins recorded gains of 300%–500%. However, as BTC continued to strengthen thereafter and its market dominance increased, many altcoins began to face downward pressure.Killa believes that if BTC has already formed its bottom this cycle, some altcoins may have also established cyclical lows, prompting a recent resumption of selective altcoin positioning. His SOL position, bought at $76, is currently up approximately 50%. The ASTER long position shared recently has a target of at least 50% to 100% upside. Additionally, the HYPE spot or long position established earlier at $51.55 has since risen roughly 70%.
According to Lookonchain tracking, trader 0x3305 has been continuously buying HYPE over the past 10 days, accumulating a total of 194,210 HYPE tokens valued at approximately $16.79 million.
On-chain analyst AI Yi posted that the "whale hunt" around PONS on Hyperliquid has once again drawn attention. Trader Loracle initiated a 3x short position on PONS on September 3, currently holding approximately 25.04 million PONS tokens valued at around $19.41 million at an entry price of $0.6553, representing 19% of Hyperliquid's total PONS open interest, with unrealized losses nearing $3 million, and continues to add to the position. It is reported that overseas analyst MLM publicly stated yesterday that anyone interested in deploying capital exceeding seven figures to heavily short-squeeze this position can contact via direct message, and later confirmed that eight-figure capital has already pledged to participate. Loracle's current liquidation price stands at approximately $1.83, meaning that without additional margin, PONS would need to rise by another ~128% to trigger liquidation.
Analyst Edgy from The DeFi Edge stated that Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $3.54 billion in August, while Ethereum ETFs drew in around $1.84 billion. During the trading week of August 24–28, SOL ETFs registered a net inflow of $142.7 million, XRP ETFs $110.5 million, and HYPE ETFs $56.8 million, totaling roughly $310 million, highlighting market demand beyond BTC and ETH. However, in the following week of August 31 to September 4, SOL’s net inflow plummeted to $4.9 million, HYPE dropped to $12.3 million, whereas Bitcoin ETFs continued to attract $987 million during the same period. Analysts noted that capital inflows into altcoin ETFs have yet to establish a sustained trend, and whether they can maintain steady absorption capacity over the next month remains a key metric to watch.

Odaily News DeFi researcher Ignas posted on X: "After David Hoffman (Bankless founder) sold his ETH, he reallocated his portfolio into some of the best-performing tokens, such as LIT and ZEC. NEAR also performed well, and only VVV underperformed the broader market. Although the market was full of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) at the time, and it was also very close to the ETH bottom, the goal of aggressive crypto investors has always been to outperform BTC and ETH. Well done, David."Previously reported, Bankless co-founder David Hoffman announced in June this year that he had sold all his ETH and bought VVV, NEAR, ZEC, HYPE, and LIT.
