In September, the cryptocurrency market experienced some fluctuations. At the beginning of the month, the market had a rough start, with factors such as Ethereum FUD and concerns about economic slowdown leading to a "double bottom" in the market. However, with the expectation of a significant interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve, the market gradually rebounded, and sentiment became more optimistic. In the absence of mainstream narratives, the hype around Memes remains the focal point, and Ethereum's mainnet GAS fees have also surged. Additionally, the new public chain Sui and its ecosystem have shown impressive performance.

With the world economy stabilizing and recovering, the market may迎来 the "main upward wave" as we enter the fourth quarter. The platform welcomes authors who have deep thoughts, especially those skilled in writing about hot events, emerging projects, in-depth research reports, and track observations, to join and collectively record the upcoming stories.

The October double list will be announced around November 5, 2024, looking forward to seeing more new faces joining.
