As September begins, the crypto market is experiencing a tough start, facing challenges such as Ethereum FUD, the aftermath of the Telegram founder's arrest, and concerns over a weakening economy, leading to a "double bottom" in the market since August 5. However, with expectations of significant interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, the market is gradually rebounding, and sentiment is becoming more optimistic. In the absence of a mainstream narrative, the hype around Meme trading remains a focal point, and Ethereum mainnet GAS fees have also been driven up. Additionally, the new public chain Sui and its ecosystem have shown outstanding performance.

As the world economy stabilizes and rebounds, the market may welcome a "main rising wave" as we enter the fourth quarter. We look forward to seeing more new faces appear on future leaderboards, collectively recording the development story of the crypto industry.
