TOP 3 notable altcoin "Made in USA" in September

The cryptocurrency market closed August on a positive note, although it has yet to conquer the important milestone of 4 trillion USD. Currently, the total market capitalization stands at 3.87 trillion USD, still a significant distance from this psychological threshold.

As we move into September, the focus of expectations shifts towards the possibility of the Fed lowering interest rates – a factor that could revive the risk appetite of investors. In this context, a number of coins with a “Made in USA” stamp are standing out on the market map. In addition to familiar names like XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Chainlink, three lesser-known projects are also forecasted to have a chance for a breakout in the coming month.

Stellar (XLM)

Stellar (XLM) is preparing to close August in the red with a decrease of 8.7% for the month and a loss of up to 12.7% just in the past week. However, despite the short-term weakness, XLM is still considered one of the notable US coins in September.

The biggest highlight comes from the real asset tokenization segment (RWA), which recorded a growth of 12.9% in the past 30 days, bringing the total value to 511.42 million USD. This is also one of the few large-cap projects that maintained a positive fundamental in August.

“By the end of 2025, SDF aims to bring 3 billion USD of profitable RWA on-chain, while placing Stellar in the top 10 DeFi blockchains by TVL. This could create a spiral effect, as institutional capital flows in stronger, leading to increased participation from users and driving activity throughout the ecosystem.”

The 4-hour chart shows a hidden bullish divergence, where the price makes a lower low but the RSI (momentum indicator) forms a higher low. At the same time, the Bull-Bear Power (BBP) indicator also indicates that selling pressure is weakening.

If this rare signal is maintained, XLM could target resistance levels of 0.36 – 0.37 USD, with a invalidation threshold below 0.35 USD. Notably, a breakout above 0.38 USD would reinforce the bullish trend, potentially expanding even into the daily timeframe.

Story (IP)

Story (IP) — a layer-1 blockchain built to bring intellectual property assets on-chain — is emerging as one of the most impressive coins of the year. In just the past 24 hours, IP has increased by more than 30%, bringing its three-month increase to 91% and surging over 300% in a year.

The price increase is driven by expectations of the token buyback program, combined with the launch of the Grayscale Story IP Trust last month, which further strengthens the bullish sentiment and has just helped IP establish a new all-time high just a few hours ago.

From a technical perspective, IP has broken through the upward expanding wedge pattern — which is often associated with the risk of a downward reversal. The breach of the upper trendline has eliminated the negative scenario, affirming the proactive stance belongs to the bulls. Additionally, the BBP indicator has also turned upward even during the accumulation phase, reflecting internal strength before entering September.

If it breaks through successfully, the token will enter a “price discovery” phase, creating an opportunity for a new peak as early as September and solidifying its position among the “Made in USA” coins.

Conversely, the bullish pattern will become invalid if the IP falls below 6.84 USD, with the risk of a deeper decline if it breaches the 5.45 USD threshold.

Pi Network (PI)

Pi Network (PI) continues to be among the disappointing groups in 2025. This token lost 4.7% in the past month, despite an 8% rebound in the most recent week, but on a yearly basis, it has still “evaporated” over 55% of its value. At a price of 0.38 USD, the overall trend still leans towards decline, yet September promises to attract traders due to short-term fluctuations.

Two new drivers bring PI back on the market’s radar: the protocol upgrade allowing nodes to run on Linux and the launch of the Valour Pi Network ETP among a group of 8 new products. These factors contribute to improving investor sentiment.

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has crossed above the 0 mark for the first time in a long time, reflecting that capital is returning. If it exceeds 0.05, buying pressure will become more pronounced. The BBP indicator has also turned positive, indicating that bullish momentum is being reinforced.

In a positive scenario, PI could rise to 0.46 USD — an increase of more than 20% from the current level. Conversely, if it breaks below 0.33 USD, the risk of establishing a new low below 0.32 USD will arise.

Currently, the market structure shows that Pi Network is primarily suitable for day trading or short-term waves in September, rather than expecting a sustainable recovery cycle. In the long term, the overall trend of Pi Coin still leans towards bearish.
