Five altcoins broke out in mid-August, and four carry September catalysts that could extend or end the move. Zcash (ZEC) surged to $888, three days before its US spot ETF launch, with a poll on the NU7 upgrade closing on September 14. Monero (XMR) approaches its record high of $799.89 after a 26.5% gain in one week, driven by derivatives positioning rather than a dated catalyst. Hyperliquid (HYPE) faces a token unlock of 14.2 million tokens, worth approximately $1.2 billion, on September 29, with nearly 47% allocated to insiders. Uniswap (UNI) hit a record burn of $8.9 million in August thanks to v4 protocol fees, while Solana (SOL) approved a doubling of its annual disinflation to 30% and benefits from a new ETF exceeding $1 billion in assets.
