SHROOM, a meme coin on Robinhood Chain, climbed to roughly $44 million in market capitalization just days after its first liquidity pool launched on Sept. 2. At its peak, the token reached about $58.33 million, while its main trading pool posted a 442% gain over 24 hours, according to the source article citing DexScreener data. The token was trading at $0.0432, and combined 24-hour volume across 30 pools stood at about $25.59 million. On-chain data in the report says SHROOM’s contract name is MUSHROOM, with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. So far, 12,682,719 tokens have been sent to a burn address, equal to 1.268% of supply. The project describes itself as a liquidity network for stock tokens, pairing SHROOM with assets such as Micron (MU), NVIDIA (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Coinbase (COIN), GameStop (GME), AMC, Eli Lilly (LLY), Hims & Hers (HIMS), GLD, along with USDG and ETH. The report also says holders receive periodic MU rewards, with 251 MU already distributed by Pons. Based on Micron’s Sept. 4 close of $1,016.59, that amount was worth about $255,000. DexScreener showed around $2.92 million in liquidity across 30 pools, while the project website listed $4.04 million in TVL across 142 pools.

FATCOIN's market cap briefly surpassed $40 million, reaching a new all-time high, currently at $35.34 million, with a single-day gain of over 3x. The token was launched on the o1 platform, paired with tokenized US stock Eli Lilly (LLY) via Robinhood. The 'Stock Meme' model combines meme coins with real equity tokens, creating a dual-drive mechanism of sentiment and real asset backing.

Meme trading activity remained intense on Sept. 4 across Robinhood Chain and BNB Smart Chain, with several tokens posting sharp moves in market value and turnover. On Robinhood Chain, PONS extended a multi-day rally and briefly pushed its market capitalization above $752 million, setting a new record high. The token was up more than 58% over 24 hours, with daily trading volume reaching $90.6 million. FATCOIN, another meme token tied to tokenized stock narratives, showed even bigger swings. Its market cap briefly topped $14 million after rising more than 175x within 10 hours from near zero, before pulling back to $7.7 million. Its 24-hour gain stood at 11x. BlockBeats said the project’s core narrative combines the idea of getting rich from trading with Eli Lilly weight-loss drug themes, and the token trades directly against $LLY, the tokenized stock version of Eli Lilly. New token GRASS also drew funds, briefly reaching a market cap above $8.6 million within eight hours of launch before easing to $5.6 million. On BNB Smart Chain, MarsCoin climbed to as high as $132 million before slipping to $123 million, while "Niulai" briefly returned to a $100 million valuation. FLORK was described as holding in a strong consolidation range.

PEPTIDES, a meme token in the Robinhood Chain ecosystem, briefly pushed its market capitalization above $10 million before easing to about $9.7 million, according to GMGN data. The token was still up more than 300% on the day at the time of the update. GMGN’s figures were cited by Odaily, which also said Fomo has completed verification for PEPTIDES. The project’s narrative ties together the GLP-1 theme, biohacker culture, and tokenized equities. It is paired with LLY, a tokenized version of Eli Lilly stock, and the reported buy path routes through LLY. The community has also framed the liquidity pool around a “fridge” concept filled with “peptide characters.” Odaily added a risk reminder, noting that meme coins can swing sharply and are easily affected by market sentiment and headline-driven events, which can raise trading risk over short periods.

FATCOIN, a stock-meme token on Robinhood Chain, pushed its market capitalization above $3.8 million and set a fresh high, according to GMGN market data cited by BlockBeats on Sept. 3. The token was up 66% over the past 24 hours, with 24-hour trading volume reaching $3.5 million. FATCOIN is paired with tokenized Eli Lilly stock under the ticker LLY. BlockBeats described the “Stock Meme” format as an emerging structure that directly links meme tokens with tokenized U.S. equities rather than pairing them with assets such as USDT or ETH. In that setup, meme tokens can trade against on-chain stock tokens including names like NVDA, TSLA, and AAPL. The outlet said the model keeps the high-volatility, community-driven speculative features associated with meme coins while also attaching itself to the attention and narrative around real stocks. BlockBeats also said part of trading fees often flows back to community treasuries to accumulate the corresponding stock tokens, creating what it called a dual-driver structure of sentiment trading and real-asset anchoring. The outlet added that price swings in this segment can be large and warned investors to stay cautious.

Circle’s Arc blockchain is set to open public mainnet access on Sept. 16, with USDC used for gas from day one and a permissioned validator set maintaining the network. Before that date arrives, the early shape of the ecosystem is already visible. Circle has named 11 founding validators, including BlackRock, DTCC, Galaxy, ICE, Mastercard, MoneyGram, Standard Chartered and Visa, while saying more than 100 institutions and ecosystem teams are involved during the private mainnet phase. BlackRock is expected to deploy its BUIDL fund on Arc, and Circle and DTCC are planning tokenization work tied to DTC-custodied assets starting in the second half of 2027. The first wave of user activity may come from several directions at once. Fomo said it will support trading on Arc on launch day, while edgeX said it will join as a day-one partner with USD/JPY perpetuals and more than 150 perpetual markets across U.S. equities, commodities and crypto. Circle also expects Aave, Uniswap, Morpho, FalconX, GSR, Keyrock and others to be present at launch, though Aave V4 on Arc still depends on governance. On the speculative side, meme tokens are already trading on chain ID 5042, and launchpads including Tolly, Warp and Arcpad are competing for token issuance flow with different designs around bonding curves, locked liquidity and fee distribution.

Circle is set to open the public mainnet of Arc on Sept. 16, introducing a Layer 1 network built around stablecoin-based finance with USDC used for gas and sub-second final settlement. The network, maintained by a permissioned validator set, arrives with backing from 11 founding validators including BlackRock, DTCC, Galaxy, ICE, Mastercard, Standard Chartered and Visa. Circle has also said more than 100 institutions and ecosystem teams are already involved while the chain remains in its private mainnet phase. Attention is now shifting to where the first wave of onchain activity will land. Fomo has said it will support trading on day one, while edgeX plans to launch a 24-hour USD/JPY FX perpetual and more than 150 perpetual markets covering U.S. equities, commodities and crypto, all margined and settled in native USDC. Circle also expects Aave, Uniswap, Aerodrome, Morpho and several capital service firms to be live around launch, though Aave V4 on Arc still requires governance approval. At the same time, meme infrastructure is already taking shape. Projects such as Tolly, Warp and Arcpad are competing for token issuance flow, each with different mechanisms for pricing, LP ownership and fee distribution. With USDC acting as both gas token and quote asset, Arc’s launch could send initial funds into meme pools, stablecoin pools and lending markets at the same time, making Sept. 16 the first real test of how the network’s liquidity will form.

Crypto prices broadly advanced over the past week, but the gains were far from uniform. Drawing on weekly performance data for the top 100 tokens on CoinGecko, Odaily separated the market into three groups: sharp gainers, moderate risers, and the few names that fell even as the broader market moved higher. STX led the field with a 121.2% weekly gain, making it the biggest outlier among the top performers and the only non-Meme token at the very top of the list. CASHCAT, ENA, PENGU, TRUMP, ZEC, PUMP, MELANIA, and PEPE also ranked among the strongest movers, with weekly gains ranging from 49.3% to 102.2%. A second tier of tokens posted gains between 10% and 20%, including LDO, WLD, MORPHO, LINEA, NEAR, HBAR, ASTER, ETHFI, BNB, and ONDO. Odaily said this group was more closely tied to fundamentals and infrastructure themes than the first wave of narrative-led rallies. On the downside, only a handful of tokens fell during the same period. JELLYJELLY, WLFI, JTO, and LAB all posted weekly losses, with LAB down 13%, the weakest showing in the sample. All figures in the report were current as of Aug. 26.
