The first days of September have revealed two standout performers on CoinMarketCap. Solana (SOL) has climbed to $202.85, gaining +7.37% over the past week with more than $6.65 billion in trading volume. At the same time, MemeCore (M) has stunned traders with a +92.77% weekly surge, including +32.91% in just the last 24 hours.

Together, these two tokens represent very different corners of the market — one a major Layer 1 blockchain, the other a fast-moving meme play. Yet both are sending the same signal: September could be the month altcoins take the spotlight.

MemeCore’s Breakout Gains

MemeCore is the clear retail favorite of the week. At $0.8705, it has jumped nearly double in value over 7 days, outperforming every major coin in the top 50.

• 24h Change: +32.91%
  
• 7d Change: +92.77%
  
• Market Cap: $904 million
  
• 24h Volume: $46.9 million
  

This growth suggests meme token rotations are back in play, with traders hunting for high-risk, high-reward setups after a quiet August.

Solana Holds Above $200

Solana’s steady move to $202.85 shows strength in a different way. While MemeCore reflects speculative retail energy, Solana’s +7.37% weekly climb highlights large-scale adoption and strong liquidity.

• 7d Change: +7.37%
  
• 24h Volume: $6.65 billion
  
• Circulating Supply: 540.91 million SOL
  

Crossing the $200 threshold keeps Solana in focus for institutions and retail alike. Historically, Solana rallies above $200 have drawn in wider attention, sparking secondary gains in ecosystem tokens.

Altcoin Season Signals

CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index currently sits at 48/100. This level suggests altcoins are beginning to outperform Bitcoin, but a full rotation has not yet begun.

Other notable moves:

• XRP: $2.80, with $7.01B in 24h volume, showing strong liquidity despite only a +3.04% weekly gain.
  
• Dogecoin (DOGE): $0.2139, modest +1.95% weekly, still the dominant meme coin by market cap.
  
• BNB: $852.58, flat for the week, but trading volume remains above $2.6B daily.
  

These numbers suggest capital is beginning to flow from majors into mid-cap and meme assets — the early hallmark of altcoin season.

Why This Matters

1. MemeCore’s +92% rally shows retail energy returning to the market.
   
2. Solana holding above $200 is a technical and psychological level that validates broader bullish sentiment.
   
3. Together, they show capital rotating into altcoins, a setup that historically precedes altseason runs.

Conclusion: Early September Could Belong to Altcoins

With MemeCore nearly doubling in a week and Solana reclaiming the $200 level, September is already shaping up to favor altcoins. While Bitcoin holds steady above $110K, it is the altcoins that are beginning to generate both attention and returns.

For traders, the message is simple: follow the rotation. Altcoins are quietly setting the stage for September’s biggest opportunities.
