With a new round of market trends possibly arriving in late September, investors need to carefully choose their investment direction. In the public chain sector, Ethereum (ETH) remains the most stable core asset, outperforming many small tokens.

In the real-world asset (RWA) sector, Chainlink (LINK) is worth paying attention to. It not only has a stable performance but also plays an important role in RWA and stablecoin infrastructure. With the support of the buyback plan, the investment logic is quite solid.

In the DeFi space, Aave and Uniswap continue to hold blue-chip status. In terms of stablecoins, XPL and ENA stand out, especially since XPL has recently made adjustments, making it a good investment opportunity.

The artificial intelligence sector currently lacks a clear leader, but the Sahara project is worth short-term attention. The meme coin market remains chaotic, making it difficult to form a consensus. PEPE is still in the accumulation phase, while PENGU has the potential to become the next hot topic and is regarded as one of the biggest IPs in the cryptocurrency space.

In terms of emerging narratives, ZORA has broken the downward trend and may welcome a new round of increase. PENDLE, on the other hand, attracts the attention of investors through new products and an increase in Total Value Locked (TVL), with its tens of billions level of TVL being particularly noteworthy.

Overall, there are many high-quality targets in the current market, and the attractiveness of small coins is limited. It is also difficult for main funds to maintain long-term attention on small coins, which often experience a rapid rise followed by a swift decline. Compared to the risky investment in small coins, a wiser choice is to follow market trends and focus on core assets that can continuously attract attention. This not only reduces risk but also allows one to seize long-term opportunities in the market.
