The crypto market looks set to close August on a positive note, though it remains below the key $4 trillion mark. The total market cap currently sits at $3.87 trillion, still shy of that psychological threshold.
Traders are eyeing the upcoming September with renewed interest, helped by expectations of potential rate cuts that could improve risk appetite. Within this backdrop, Made in USA coins have come back into focus. While major tokens like XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Chainlink continue to dominate attention, there are three lesser-watched Made in USA coins that could see action in September.
Stellar (XLM)
Stellar (XLM) is about to close August deep in the red, down 8.7% over the month and 12.7% over the past week. Yet despite this weakness, it might be one of the Made in USA coins to watch in September.
The biggest driver is its real-world asset (RWA) growth, which climbed 12.9% in the last 30 days to $511.42 million in value. That makes Stellar one of the few large-cap projects ending August on a positive fundamental note.
Higher transaction volumes may also be necessary to sustain this growth — a goal the Stellar Development Foundation is clearly targeting.
In an exclusive bit to BeInCrypto, Matt Kaiser, Stellar analyst at Messari, said:
“By the end of 2025, the Stellar Development Foundation aims for Stellar to have $3 billion in yield-bearing RWA’s onchain and be a top-ten chain in DeFi TVL. This could create a flywheel where more institutional capital increases user engagement, thereby leading to higher transaction volumes and ecosystem activity.”
On the technical front, Stellar may be flashing a short-term bullish signal. The 4-hour chart displays a hidden bullish divergence, where the price made a lower low, but the RSI (Relative Strength Index, a momentum indicator) posted a higher low.
At the same time, the Bull-Bear Power (BBP) indicator — which compares buying and selling pressure — has turned less negative, validating the fact that sellers are losing strength. If this rare bullish setup continues, XLM could push toward resistance at $0.36 and $0.37, with invalidation below $0.35.

A move above $0.38 would ensure that the bullish setup shows up even on the daily chart.
Story (IP)
Story (IP), a layer-1 blockchain designed to anchor intellectual property on-chain, has been one of the standout performers this year. The token is up more than 30% in the past 24 hours, extending its three-month gains to 91%. On a yearly basis, Story (IP) has surged over 300%.
The token’s growth comes amid continued speculation about a potential buyback program and after last month’s announcement of the Grayscale Story IP Trust, which further fueled the token’s bullish narrative and pushed it to a new all-time high just a few hours back.
From a technical perspective, Story (IP) has broken out of an ascending broadening wedge, a pattern typically associated with bearish reversals.
By pushing past the upper trendline, the IP price has invalidated the bearish outlook and confirmed that bulls remain in control. This is further reinforced by the Bull Bear Power (BBP) indicator, which has flipped higher even as prices consolidated, signaling underlying strength heading into September.
At press time, Story trades at $7.86, with immediate resistance at $8.23 and the all-time high near $9.09. A breakout above these levels would place the token again in price discovery mode, opening the door for fresh highs in September. This validates Story’s presence in the Made in USA coins’ list.
On the downside, the bullish setup would be invalidated if Story falls below $6.84, with deeper risks emerging below $5.45.
Pi Coin (PI)
Pi Coin (PI) has been one of the underperformers in 2025. The token is down 4.7% over the past month, up 8% in the past week, but still down over 55% year-on-year. At $0.38, the broader structure remains bearish, yet September could keep traders interested in short-term spikes.
Two developments have helped put PI back on the radar as a key Made in USA coin: the recent protocol upgrade that added a Linux node and the launch of a Valour Pi Network ETP among eight new products, both of which have generated some momentum.
On-chain and technical indicators support the case for near-term moves. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has flipped above zero for the first time in a while, signaling inflows.
A decisive move above 0.05 on the CMF would confirm stronger buying pressure. The BBP indicator has also turned positive, pointing to growing bullish momentum.
If momentum continues, PI could climb toward $0.46 — a 20%+ rally from current levels. However, if the token breaks under $0.33, the risks of fresh lows below $0.32 return.
For now, the setup suggests traders may eye Pi Network for quick intraday or swing moves in September rather than a sustained recovery. It is worth noting that the overall Pi Coin price structure still leans bearish.
