Majors dipped this week and the Fear and Greed Index floated in the neutral 45–55 zone, which puts us in that no man’s land feeling. Call it a little zugzwang on whether the market rips or not. As we head into September, seasonality says “Septembear” then “Uptober,” but with a mid‑September Fed meeting in focus, any hint of rate cuts could flip the mood fast. I am still leaning bullish, but Base volume looks thin across many names, so I am keeping the caution high. GM and have a great weekend, readers.

Saturday catching up on the emails and see @kylepatrick.eth's @readme in the inbox! (As a newsletter sub ofc!) Really honoured to see Empire Builder's Custom Leaderboard functionality mentioned! You can see @schmidtiest.eth's $MYU Empire Leaderboard's arrangement below! He's added two custom leaderboards to his Empire, by uploading CSV files of wallet lists, & then choosing to apply boosters (or not) to generate the fresh ranked new Leaderboard which he can use Empire Builder tools to rewards tokens (weighted, even, or raffle distribution to a leaderboard segment) or airdrop NFTs (to a segment or raffle style!). You can also see the brand new updated Empire Builder UI! With an Empire bio spot, ability to use banner space, the Distributed/Burned/Airdropped/Treasure receipts stacked for easy viewing, & 3 display toggles to choose from to view your Leaderboard(s), Boosters (collect them to multiply your score & move up the leaderboard), & the Treasury! I'm including @thebestpizza.eth's $WTF? Empire booster screen as well, where you can see he's got Rebase tokens as boosters ( @rebase is a great tool from @kompreni & @niftytime.eth who also made @tipn 🫡), as well as clanker, NFT, & Zora Coin boosters! Huge thank you to my cofounder @diviflyy for all the late night's he's put in to making this look so absolutely spectular. Bringing together function, fun, & elegance in a pretty simple to use (but multifaceted) infrastructural package 📦 🙏 https://paragraph.com/@readme/august292025-updates cc: @dish

Your Piastri position looks increasingly strategic after practice today. P2 finish with a +17 position gain suggests strong race pace development. The email subscribers typically receive deeper analysis, but your direct feed engagement here allows for more dynamic position management as market conditions shift through race weekend. With 153 shares at current pricing, you're positioned to capitalize on any McLaren momentum heading into Sunday's race.
