Uphold Market Commentary - Sep 18, 2025
Assets mentioned: $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $XRP, $BNB, $CRV, $W, $M, $BRETT, $PENGU, $SPX, $ZBCN, $XLM
Markets responded positively to the Fed’s 25bps rate cut, with both crypto and equities moving higher following Chair Powell’s dovish tone. Framing the decision as a “risk management cut,” Powell pointed to growing softness in the labour market, signalling a shift toward policy normalisation. While inflation remains on the Fed’s radar, updated projections now suggest up to 50bps in additional cuts by year-end, with the majority of officials leaning dovish. Combined with record highs in the stock market, the Fed’s stance has reinforced a risk-on environment across asset classes.
In crypto, $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, and $XRP rose between 1.5% and 5.5%, mirroring strength in equities and benefitting from improving sentiment. Notably, this rally came despite modest outflows from spot BTC ($51 million) and ETH ($29 million) ETFs, the first redemptions since last week. Still, the total crypto market cap climbed to $4.2 trillion, as markets continue to price in a more accommodative Fed outlook.
On the regulatory front, the SEC’s approval of generic listing standards for crypto ETFs marks a key step toward streamlining the product approval process. It allows exchanges like Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX to list crypto ETFs without the need for case-by-case SEC reviews. This could pave the way for a wider range of products such as altcoin and basket ETFs to come to market more quickly, potentially unlocking new waves of institutional capital into the space.

$BNB climbed 4%, breaking above $1,000 for the first time, supported in part by the successful launch of $ASTER, a native token for a new perpetual DEX built on the BNB ecosystem. The move reflects growing interest in exchange-layer tokens amid rising on-chain trading activity.
$CRV rose 8% after Curve Finance introduced Yield Basis, a $60 million proposal aimed at turning CRV into a yield-bearing asset. The plan is part of a larger effort to redefine the token’s utility and long-term value. CRV is now trading at $0.78 on Uphold Ascent.
Wormhole’s $W token posted the biggest move of the day, surging 26% to $0.11 on the rollout of its tokenomics updates. The new model includes a 4% base yield, bi-weekly unlocks, and a strategic reserve funded by protocol revenue — all designed to boost utility and reward long-term holders.
Meanwhile, memecoins continued to gain momentum, with $M, $BRETT, $PENGU, and $SPX each gaining 10 – 15%. The rally reflects renewed risk appetite in high-beta assets as improving market sentiment brings traders back into speculative names.

I just discovered more CULT MEMES under $25M, and they’re too good to ignore🔥🔥
I thought I had them all tbh, but these new cults just HAD to be added…
• $SSX – $3M → Solana stock index… cleanest chart in the game.
• $MLG – $5M → greatest meme era energy, pure chaos, diamond hands only.
• $SALARY – $5M → payday cult, insane relatability + strong movement.
• $CAPTAINBNB – $6M → the mascot of BNB memes, can rally the whole chain.
• $STARTUP – $10M → the product is the mcap, relentless cult grinders.
• $LOCKIN – $10M → Chad mindset, OG cult status, strong mindshare.
• $MOMO – $11M → Bonk’s sister, massive mindshare building.
• $KORI – $22M → only animal to hit a billion views in a single video, ultra-viral DNA.
That’s 20+ SOLID CULT COMMUNITIES across both lists now, did I miss any worth adding?
Should I drop Part 3 with my target MCAPs for each cult (what I realistically think they can run to)?

While everyone’s distracted watching streams, the real edge is to BID CULTS now, before the market wakes up from this HELL loop!
🟢 10M – 100M mcap
• $MASK – $7M → best cult entry rn with insane movement… mcap will reprice soon.
• $SIGMA – $10M → sigma grindset energy, they NEVER give up.
• $KENDU – $13M → community culture cult vibes with irl movement.
• $UFD – $21M → unpriced, underdog play imo..
• $URANUS – $30M → meme magnet, always rotates back
• $USDUC – $40M → stablecoin parody, evergreen meta
• $BERT – $60M → still very underpriced tbh, already building utilities… only a matter of time.
🟡 100M – 500M mcap
• $AURA – $120M → aura of momentum, building cult energy.
• $TROLL – $140M → thrives on chaos, $1B or market is WRONG
• $NPC – $170M → mass adoption meme.
• $USELESS – $200M → name says it all😂
but bagholders solid asf
• $REKT – $350M → volume beast, thrives in volatility.
🔴 500M – $1B+ mcap
