⭐ 5 Things You Shouldn’t Miss

⚰️ Ethereum just announced it’s shutting down its biggest testnet, Holesky, right after the Fusaka upgrade lands in November 2025. Holesky played a key role in testing major upgrades like Dencun and Pectra, but it’s been struggling lately. It’ll be replaced by Hoodi, a cleaner, more stable testnet built for staking and validator testing.

📊 BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes: Hyperliquid’s $HYPE.X ( ▲ 1.76% ) could surge 126x. Once people hold stablecoins, they naturally gravitate to crypto trading. And Hyperliquid is front and center in that flow. Plus, 21Shares just listed a HYPE ETP on SIX Swiss Exchange, opening doors to TradFi money. To him, Hyperliquid is DeFi’s new Binance.

🐰 2 major DeFi platforms just got hacked, with Venus Protocol & Bunni DEX reporting combined losses of $21M+. Venus recovered all stolen funds. $XVS.X ( ▲ 2.1% ) dropped to $5.84, then bounced back to $6 following the recovery news. $BUNNI.X ( ▼ 60.77% ) crashed 42.9% in 24 hours, now hovering around $0.0064. Even well-known platforms can be vulnerable.

🔑 Ethereum Foundation will sell 10,000 ETH this Sep to fund ecosystem growth. EF has historically sold near peaks, with an almost 50% top-calling accuracy. But EF could stake or borrow against ETH instead of selling at peak. Crypto community is asking why they’re selling through CEXs rather than OTC or direct deals with treasury buyers?

🔥 Lombard Finance just launched its $LBTC.X ( ▲ 0.86% ) token on Solana with support from Polychain, Franklin Templeton, Bybit to bring yield to Bitcoin. $BTC.X ( ▲ 1.85% ) can now be used like $ETH.X ( ▼ 1.07% ) in DeFi strategies. In just 92 days, LBTC hit $1B TVL, now at $1.5B+. It’s deployed across 70+ DeFi protocols and 40% of the entire BTC staking market.

💵 WLFI Launching Recap: $9.5B Debut, Trump Family’s Crypto Moment

After months of hype, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) - the crypto project backed by the Trump family as advisors - officially launched its $WLFI.X ( ▼ 10.32% ) token on Sept 1. The token debuted at $0.31–$0.35, hitting a peak valuation of $9.5B before settling at $0.24 (down to $6.6B market cap).

The launch was massive. Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Upbit, Bybit, Kraken, Bithumb, Gate, MEXC, and more all listed WLFI from day one.

Trading volume in the first 12 hours hit $2.5B. Circulating supply & unlock breakdown: Initial circulating supply: 24.6B WLFI tokens (24.6% of total supply):

• 4% unlocked for token sale buyers (Phase 1 + 2)

• 10% unlocked for project use

• 7.78% unlocked for reserve fund (ALT5 Sigma)

• 2.88% used for liquidity + market makers
  The remaining 75.4% (Treasury, team, investors, 80% of public sale) is still locked.

Despite only 25% unlocked, the Trump family's stake ballooned by $5B, making WLFI the most valuable asset class in their empire, even more than real estate.

Some big winners we can name are Justin Sun and more. Justin Sun invested $75M early → now worth $750M. Other whales also profited and rushed to deposit WLFI on exchanges to sell.

The WLFI claim window on Sept 1 caused a surge in Ethereum fees:

• $1M gas burned in just 3 hours

• Ethereum hit its highest gas level in 4 months

World Liberty Financial announced a buyback-and-burn program using on-chain fee revenue → a move to reduce supply and support price long-term.

WLFI’s ecosystem centerpiece, stablecoin $USD1.X ( ▲ 0.27% ) , is now live on Solana and TRON, adding to Ethereum and BNB Chain. Total supply: $2.68B USD1, positioning it as a serious stablecoin player.

Top names in crypto congratulated the launch and pledged to integrate USD1 into their ecosystems. Eric Trump tweeted:

Almost 20x in just 10 months, looks like only the Trump family’s eating good 🤭 Top 10 most traded crypto assets in the first 48h → Market cap shot straight into Top 27 globally.

Eric Trump says $WLFI.X ( ▼ 10.32% ) trending is “just the beginning.” He even retweeted Crypto Peak (an investor in $WLFI & $USD1) calling it “the eagle just starting to fly.”

Jump Crypto might be stepping in as the next official market maker. WLFI’s multisig wallet just sent a test transfer of 47 WLFI to Jump → likely a warm-up before they join DWF Labs as the second public MM.

So, can $WLFI pump hard?

• Low float: Only ~5% of total supply is circulating → That means just a small portion is actually tradable → it’s creating artificial scarcity. Even a little demand can send the price flying.

• Built-in buy pressure: WLFI benefits from a unique mechanism, yield from USD1’s T-bill backing will be used to buy back and burn WLFI → That’s a sustainable demand engine that supports price long term.

• Big names involved: Funds like ALT5, Aqua, DWF joined early and bought huge allocations → These VCs do not want the token crashing at launch, it would damage both their investment and brand.

• Full-on listing strategy: WLFI launched on every major exchange, from the US to Korea → Sources say market makers were given a target listing zone around $0.40, so yes, the team planned this carefully.

But pump ≠ no dump. Low float makes it easy to pump… and just as easy to dump. Presale buyers are already sitting on multiple X gains. Many of them will sell part of their holdings on day one.

• The futures market is overheating → high funding rates = likely long squeeze, where leveraged longs get liquidated and cause a price crash.

• FDV is already huge, which means the higher the price goes, the fewer real buyers are left. Liquidity thins out fast.

🐋 The Whales Will Dump, Just Not Yet

Right now, the big funds and even the Trump family hold most of the WLFI supply and they got in at dirt-cheap prices. So yeah, they have a huge edge over retail.

But in the short term, they have no reason to crash the price. Why?

• They need WLFI to pump first to generate hype, attract fresh capital, and push up the value of their locked tokens.

• A higher price means those locked tokens become more valuable on paper, which they can leverage in deals, loans, or raise rounds.

But long-term? Make no mistake: they’ll start unloading eventually. Nobody holds forever especially once token unlocks start rolling in.

You can’t control that…but you can protect yourself:

• Track whale wallets (plenty of tools out there)

• Monitor token deposits to centralized exchanges

• Set take-profit levels, don’t wait for the perfect top

If you start seeing large wallets sending WLFI to CEXs, that’s your cue to get cautious fast. Don’t let yourself become exit liquidity for the big players. And if you’re playing this:

• Stick to spot trading, avoid high leverage

• Take profits in chunks, don’t get greedy waiting for the top

• Treat this as a short-term opportunity but don’t ignore the risks

• Stay disciplined, or this “easy pump” could flip on you fast.

⚽ Football(.)Fun’s: Looks Easy to Make Money, But It’s Tough

Football.Fun (FDF) is a strategy football game where you own and trade “Player Shares”, build your squad, and compete in weekly leagues → all based on real-world player performance.

It’s fun, but don’t get greedy. Many people FOMO in late, then get stuck holding a card nobody wants.

1️⃣ How does it work?

• Each week, players earn points based on real stats: goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, passes, etc.

• Every position has its own leaderboard - forwards, midfielders, defenders, goalkeepers.

You earn two types of points:

• TP (Tournament Points): Used to open Player Packs and grow your Development Squad

• SP (Skill Points): Used to Promote players to your Active Squad. Or Cut them to recover some TP

If your player finishes Top 5 in their position (Top 3 for GKs) → you earn Tournament Points (TP). TP is the game’s main reward, you use it to open Player Packs, which give you random shares of new players.

But those shares start in Development mode, meaning:

• You can’t sell or use them in tournaments yet.

• You need to Promote them using Skill Points (SP).

SP comes from your team consistently earning TP. Yes, it’s a layered system, but the cycle is simple: compete → earn → grow. Game modes:

• Free to Play for new users

• Pro mode includes USDC rewards

• Fully playable on both desktop and mobile (via Progressive Web App)

Gameplay Loop: Deposit USDC (Base chain) → You get Gold (1 Gold = 1 USDC)

→ Use Gold to buy player shares
→ Players play → You earn TP
→ Use TP to open packs
→ Get more shares → Promote them using SP
→ Sell promoted shares for Gold
→ Withdraw Gold as USDC

Try the Free version first to see if the game suits you. Some early buyers saw their players’ value drop 2–3x in just a week.

Always remember: capital protection comes first. With token prices in a downtrend, losing on players too is double pain.
