Altcoins today: WLFI dips after debut, BGB rallies on new utility, MemeCore enters top 100

  • WLFI plunges on its first trading day amid profit-taking.
  • BGB leads upside as it gains more roles in the Morpho network.
  • MemeCore broke into the top 100 after significant gains in the past few sessions.

Cryptocurrencies displayed mixed performances on Tuesday, with top tokens stable amid uncertainty.

As usual, a lot is happening in the sector today.

This article evaluates three projects that are making waves fundamentally and technically. Let’s find out more.

World Liberty Financial’s new WLFI token led the downside, losing more than 14% on its 24-hour chart after its closely-watched September 1 trading debut.

MemeCore has entered the top 100 digital assets’ list by market cap following remarkable rallies, fueled by strategic collaborations and whale accumulation.

Moreover, BGB soared after Bitget hinted at more governance and gas use cases for the native coin within the Morpho blockchain. Here are more details.

WLFI fails to keep pace after strong debut

World Liberty Financial opened its governance token, WLFI, for trading on September 1.

It dominated crypto forums and social media trends, with early investors celebrating staggering returns.

However, the bullish party didn’t last. WLFI jumped to $0.33 highs after going live.

However, selling pressure from unlocks holders triggered substantial price declines in the past 24 hours.

WLFI is trading at $0.2397 after losing more than 14% of its value within a day.

Its market cap has plunged from above $9.4 billion to $6.55 billion, ranking #33 on Coingecko.

Some investors and traders are already counting massive losses.

For example, Andrew Tate lost $67.5K early today after selling pressure liquidated his long position.

He executed another long position, possibly signaling confidence in the alt’s rebound if not revenge trading.

BGB rallies as new use cases spark bullish momentum

Bitget’s native token stole the show with sharp rallies today.

BGB trades at $5.26 after gaining more than 15% on its daily chart.

The upside stance coincides with a new collaboration between Bitget and L2 payment platform Morph to reshape BGB’s role within the market.

The exchange confirmed it would move the entire 440 million team-held BGB assets to the Morpho Foundation, which will handle all future developments linked to the native coin.

Effectively, BGB will land new utilities as Morpho’s governance and gas token.

That positions the altcoin for increased adoption in the payment sector.

The official announcement highlighted:

Bitget plans to transfer all BGB tokens held by its team to the Morpho Foundation, and the Morpho chain will adopt BGB as its gas and governance token, driving the prosperity of the Morpho ecosystem.

MemeCore joins the top 100 cryptos

MemeCore has grabbed attention after its remarkable rally into the top 100 digital assets by market value.

M price hovers at $0.8369, ranking 93rd on Coingecko with its $1.39 billion market capitalization.

Strategic collaborations, whale purchases, and liquidity events fueled the upside.

The primary catalyst came from the partnership with token launcher D-Pump.

The alliance promises technical support, market expansion, and ecosystem interconnection, themes that resonate with market players seeking the next viral crypto.

Also, MemeCore’s MemeX liquidity event injected around $5.7 million into ME’s ecosystem.

Liquidity providers and traders joined, catalyzing short squeezes that propelled the upswing.

Moreover, Nansen data shows intensified whale activity, with dip-pocketed players accumulating more than 51.9 million MemeCore tokens last month.

BGB token price explodes, $6 in view as Bitget partners with Morph Chain

  • Morph Chain adopts the BGB token as its gas and governance token.
  • 860M BGB burned, cutting supply and boosting scarcity.
  • Chainlink PoR integration strengthens trust and transparency.

Bitget’s native token, BGB, has seen a sharp surge in price following a string of major announcements, with investors now eyeing the $6 mark.

The rally comes on the back of a new partnership with Morph Chain, aggressive token burns, and fresh transparency measures that have drawn renewed confidence to the exchange and its ecosystem.

Bitget inks deal with Morph Chain

Bitget has announced a strategic partnership with Morph Chain.

Under this agreement, the exchange confirmed that 440 million BGB tokens previously held by the team will be transferred to the Morph Foundation.

The deal goes further, as Morph will adopt BGB as both its gas and governance token, making it the lifeblood of the network.

This move not only ensures deeper integration of BGB into the expanding Web3 ecosystem but also places it at the heart of Morph’s settlement layer, touted as a new on-chain home for more than 120 million users worldwide.

The deal cements Bitget’s ambition of taking its token beyond exchange utility and into broader DeFi adoption.

Chainlink’s Proof-of-Reserve system integration

Beyond the Morph deal, Bitget has sought to strengthen confidence in its reserves.

On August 20, 2025, the company integrated Chainlink’s Proof-of-Reserve system, enabling real-time verification of its wrapped Bitcoin reserves.

This addresses the lingering concerns around exchange solvency that have haunted the industry since the collapse of FTX.

The proof-of-reserve system demonstrates that each BGBTC token is backed one-to-one with Bitcoin, offering institutional-grade assurance to both traders and DeFi partners.

Similar transparency upgrades, such as Binance’s earlier Merkle audits, have often paved the way for strong rallies in exchange tokens, and Bitget’s adoption of this approach could catalyse greater institutional interest in BGB.

Deflationary mechanics fuel optimism

Alongside these transparency efforts, BGB’s tokenomics have become increasingly attractive.

Over the past eight months, Bitget has burned 860 million tokens, equal to 43% of the total supply.

In the second quarter of 2025 alone, 30 million BGB, worth approximately $138 million, were permanently removed from circulation.

With the circulating supply now equal to the total supply at around 1.14 billion tokens, inflation risks have been eliminated.

On-chain data further shows that large holders have been accumulating BGB in million-dollar tranches, signalling confidence in the token’s long-term potential.

Historically, deflationary mechanisms have been a strong price driver in the exchange token market, with BNB providing one of the clearest examples.

BGB technical analysis points to $6

The price of BGB has broken above its seven-day moving average at $4.59 and cleared the Fibonacci 23.6% level at $4.84, pushing toward $5.20.

Market analysis highlights $5.20 as the pivot level to hold, with resistance expected at $5.84, $5.96, and then $6.43.

If BGB sustains its position above $5.20, a push toward the $6 zone looks increasingly likely.

However, near-term profit-taking caution remains, with momentum indicators such as the MACD histogram and RSI hinting at mild overbought conditions.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy buys the Bitcoin dip, adds 4,048 BTC

  • The acquisition cost $449.3 million, with the company paying an average of $110,981 per coin.
  • Following the latest acquisition, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings rose to 636,505 BTC.
  • The company’s latest purchase follows a series of smaller acquisitions in August.

Strategy, the world’s largest public company holding Bitcoin, led by Michael Saylor, disclosed in a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Tuesday that it purchased 4,048 Bitcoin between August 25 and September 1.

The acquisition cost $449.3 million, with the company paying an average of $110,981 per coin.

According to CoinGecko data cited in the filing, the purchases were made as Bitcoin prices briefly climbed above $113,000 before dropping below $108,000 last Friday.

Strategy’s BTC bet

Following the latest acquisition, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings rose to 636,505 BTC.

The company has acquired its reserves for approximately $46.95 billion, at an average purchase price of $73,765 per coin.

The company said the latest acquisitions were financed through proceeds from at-the-market sales of its Class A common stock (MSTR) as well as its perpetual preferred stock programs, including Strike (STRK), Strife (STRF), and Stride (STRD).

Strategy reported that it sold 1,237,000 MSTR shares for $425.3 million, with $16.31 billion still available for issue under its at-the-market program.

In addition, the company sold 199,509 STRK shares for about $19 million, with $20.39 billion remaining, 237,931 STRF shares for $26.5 million, with $1.8 billion remaining, and 12,973 STRD shares for $1 million, leaving $4.17 billion available.

August buying activity slows

The company’s latest purchase follows a series of smaller acquisitions in August.

Strategy had announced the purchase of 3,081 BTC last week, along with earlier acquisitions of 430 BTC and 155 BTC in the same month.

Combined with the most recent purchase, the company acquired 7,714 BTC in August, significantly lower than the 31,466 BTC bought in July.

Saylor had signalled the likelihood of additional acquisitions ahead of the filing, posting an update to Strategy’s Bitcoin tracker over the weekend, saying Bitcoin was “still on sale.”

The company also confirmed that a group of investors dropped a class action lawsuit on Thursday.

The lawsuit, filed in May, alleged that Strategy had made false and misleading statements about its investment strategy.

The BTC treasury race

According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, 163 public companies have adopted some form of Bitcoin acquisition model.

Other large holders include MARA with 50,639 BTC, Tether-backed Twenty One with 43,514 BTC, Adam Back and Cantor Fitzgerald-backed Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company with 30,021 BTC, Bullish with 24,000 BTC, Metaplanet with 20,000 BTC, Riot Platforms with 19,239 BTC, Trump Media & Technology Group with 15,000 BTC, CleanSpark with 12,703 BTC, and Coinbase with 11,776 BTC.
