The cryptocurrency market is currently below $4 trillion, specifically at $3.87 trillion, yet it may finish August on a positive note. This valuation, while encouraging, still feels just out of reach of that significant milestone.
Traders are eyeing September with renewed optimism, as expectations for possible interest rate cuts could bolster risk appetite. Within this context, attention is shifting to the Made in USA coin. Major cryptocurrencies like XRP, Solana, Cardano, and ChainLink remain prominent, but there are three particular coins that are generating buzz for the upcoming month.
Stellar (XLM)
Stellar (XLM) is wrapping up August on a down note, having fallen 8.7% for the month and 12.7% in just the past week. Still, despite these declines, it might emerge as a noteworthy US coin to monitor in September.
A key factor is the growth of real-world assets (RWA), which climbed 12.9% to reach $51.42 million in the last 30 days. This development offers a hopeful signal for one of the few major projects completing its month positively.
To sustain this growth, Stellar will likely need to see higher transaction volumes, something the Stellar Development Foundation is clearly targeting.
In an exclusive comment, a notable analyst from Messari remarked:
“By the end of 2025, the Stard Development Foundation aims to place itself among the top ten chains for DeFi total value locked (TVL) with $3 billion in on-chain star-created RWA.”
Technically, Stellar might be showing signs of a short-term bullish trend. Its 4-hour chart indicates hidden bullish divergence; prices decreased while the relative strength index (RSI) showed higher lows.
Moreover, the Bullbear Power (BBP) indicator, which assesses buying versus selling pressure, suggests that sellers are losing strength. If this optimistic trend holds, XLM could move toward resistance levels at $0.36 and $0.37, although falling below $0.35 would void this potential.
Moves exceeding $0.38 would also indicate even daily charts displaying bullish formations.
Story (IP)
Story (IP) stands out as a Layer-1 blockchain focused on securing intellectual property on-chain and has been performing exceptionally well this year. Tokens surged over 30% in the last 24 hours alone, extending its three-month growth to 91% and translating to an impressive annual increase of over 300%.
This token’s growth has been underscored by ongoing speculation about a potential buyback program and the recent introduction of the Grayscale Story IP Trust, which had the effect of pushing it to new all-time highs just hours ago.
From a technical perspective, Story (IP) is breaking free from ascending wedge patterns, typically associated with a bearish reversal.
By surpassing the upper trend line, IP prices have dismissed the bearish outlook, validating a strong bull trend. This is further supported by the BBP indicator showing positive momentum, even in a seemingly stable price.
As of the latest reports, the token was trading around $7.86, facing immediate resistance at $8.23 and an all-time high near $9.09. Exceeding these levels would trigger another price discovery phase, potentially taking it to further highs in September.
Conversely, if it slips below $6.84, that could invalidate this bullish scenario, with risks escalating under $5.45.
PI Coin (PI)
Pi Coin (PI) has been one of the more underwhelming performers in 2025. The token has dropped 4.7% over the past month, although it did rise by 8% in the last week, maintaining a year-on-year increase of over 55%. At $0.38, the overall sentiment remains bearish, yet September might spark some short-term interest among traders.
Two recent developments have helped re-establish the Pi Coin’s relevance in the US coin landscape. A protocol upgrade introduced Linux nodes and eight new products, including the launch of the Valor Pi Network ETP.
On-chain and technical indicators now support a possible short-term upward movement. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) recently crossed above zero—its first instance in a while—indicating a potential influx of buying interest.
If it surpasses the 0.05 threshold in CMF, stronger buying pressure would become evident. Additionally, the BBP indicator also shows positive shifts, suggesting robust bullish momentum.
Should this momentum sustain, Pi could reach $0.46, marking a 20% increase from its current position. However, if it falls below $0.33, there’s a risk of hitting new lows beneath $0.32.
For now, it seems traders might be focusing on short-term moves within the PI network during September, rather than looking for a sustained recovery. Still, it’s important to keep in mind that the overall price structure for Pi Coin is still on the bearish side.
