Meme coins on Robinhood Chain are surging again, with PONS, MEME, and BONER becoming new trading hotspots. These tokens are not officially listed or endorsed by Robinhood but are created and traded by users onchain. The market shows typical fast meme cycle characteristics: capital rotates from early leaders like CASHCAT to PONS and new tokens, with some assets experiencing sharp pullbacks within hours of hitting all-time highs. The PONS launchpad is central, enabling users to create tokens quickly at low cost, with nearly 25,000 tokens created on September 2 alone, daily trading volume around $544 million, and generating nearly $6 million in fees. PONS tokens are supported by buyback and burn mechanisms, but overall market volatility is extreme, with high risk of entering and exiting.

The Solana Transaction v1 upgrade increases the maximum transaction size from 1,232 bytes to 4,096 bytes, giving developers more room to support zero-knowledge proofs, large multisig operations, and complex batched transactions. The upgrade is now active on testnet and devnet, with a mainnet target date of September 9, though the exact timing may shift. It has little impact on regular users, but wallets, explorers, data providers, and applications need to update their systems before v1 transactions appear. The upgrade aims to improve application design and reliability, not to boost TPS.

Solana plans to launch the Transaction v1 upgrade on September 9, increasing the maximum transaction size from 1,232 bytes to 4,096 bytes, providing developers with about 3.3 times more space to accommodate zero-knowledge proofs, large multisig operations, batch transactions, and more. The upgrade is optional, and existing transaction formats remain valid, but applications that read blocks need to support the new format to avoid errors. v1 removes address lookup tables and stores resource limits directly in transaction configuration metadata. This upgrade aims to simplify complex operations but does not increase the maximum number of accounts that can be referenced per transaction.

Cardano is set to achieve significant milestones with the initial rollout of the Dijkstra era in two phases, introducing linear Leios with nested transactions and Peras. The goal is to deliver phase one (nested transactions and linear Leios) to mainnet by the end of 2026, with phase two (Peras) activated in a hard fork within the era in Q2 2027. Intersect reports four major Haskell node releases in the coming months: 11.1.1 expected on September 7, 11.2 including Dijkstra features for testing, 11.3 as a hard fork candidate, and 12.0 as the final hard fork version. Additionally, the DijkstraNet testnet will be launched, and a node diversity workshop is planned.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is approaching a key resistance level after a strong rebound from August lows, but exchange activity suggests the rally may face more selling pressure. Over the past 24 hours, total exchange inflows of SHIB reached approximately 168.18 billion tokens, with the top ten deposits accounting for 3.53 billion. Despite increased inflows, outflows were larger, resulting in a net flow of -26.64 billion and a slight 0.03% decrease in exchange reserves. Currently trading around $0.00000552, SHIB has reclaimed its 50-day and 100-day moving averages, but faces resistance near the 200-day MA at $0.00000568. A breakout above this level could lead to further gains toward the $0.0000059-$0.0000062 range; otherwise, a pullback to $0.00000515 and $0.00000503 is possible.

Citi and DBS completed a tokenized dollar payment from Singapore to New York on September 5, settling in minutes over a weekend via Swift's digital ledger. The transaction demonstrated how banks can use blockchain to coordinate tokenized deposits, while final settlement still relies on traditional financial infrastructure. Swift's ledger acts as a coordination layer, recording and verifying payment obligations, with settlement occurring through existing banking systems. This trial is part of a pilot program announced by Swift in July 2026, involving 17 banks. Citi also plans to join a US tokenized deposit network expected to launch in 2027.
