On September 7th, WLFI Growth Director Ryan Fang said in an interview on Thursday evening, "We believe that some very large token holders may be manipulating prices, essentially to lock in profits. We do believe that in a world where a centralized exchange holds a large amount of user funds, some exchanges may attract user tokens and send them to other exchanges for sale. Again, we are still exploring and discovering this. But the possibility of the above situation occurring is certain. Now, imagine, suppose a large exchange holds a large amount of user assets and sends a large amount of user assets to other exchanges that may have better liquidity and a single token, while opening very large short positions, this is possible. In fact, some community members have been notifying us on Thursday. They believe that the situation I just mentioned may occur. That would be a huge systemic manipulation. We will investigate this, which may have caused huge losses in the past few days. However, there is currently no conclusive evidence about this information, but we believe that something has indeed happened in the past few days."

The cryptocurrency market is once again testing investors' patience with three unfolding stories. Dogecoin has seen a drop after a brief rally, highlighting a fragile battleground around $0.225 as traders face a familiar sell-the-news pattern. SEI is also showing signs of hesitation, with technical analysis indicating a token stuck in consolidation just above $0.2917, accompanied by decreasing volume and a neutral RSI. Analysts are now suggesting that BlockDAG (BDAG) has the potential to break into the top 50 cryptocurrencies, surpassing milestones set by Avalanche and Aptos, with significant presale funds raised and a growing user base.

Meme coins, previously popular among retail investors for their hype-driven price increases, are now displaying signs of fatigue. Many of these coins lack practical use cases, rely heavily on social media trends, and struggle to maintain value in a market that prioritizes utility. Investors are becoming more cautious and are gravitating towards tokens that offer real-world applications, long-term sustainability, and actual adoption. This shift has allowed innovative projects to stand out, blending the potential of blockchain technology with practical functionality. Tapzi ($TAPZI) is emerging as a strong player in this changing landscape, positioning itself as the first decentralized Web3 gaming platform based on skills.

 Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, stated in a post on X platform that the Ethereum team has been performing very well this year, making contributions in various aspects to ensure the long-term scalability, decentralization, and resilience of Ethereum. All of these ideas are expected to achieve key milestones on the short-term expansion roadmap and be ready for implementation. According to Vitalik Buterin's retweeted tweet, Ethereum developers have proposed a minimal zkVM "leanVM" for slimming down Ethereum, optimized for XMSS aggregation and recursion. Compared to Cairo, leanVM significantly reduces commitment costs with a four-instruction ISA, multilinear STARK, and logup* for maximum efficiency.
