Summer is over, but the crypto winter is not. During the last 30 days, ten tokens lost significantly in their price. Coins such as Helium (HNT) and STEPN (GMT) lost almost half their value. This is even though these projects are popular and widely known. We gathered 10 of the top losers whose crypto investing in September can be quite risky. Kindly note that we are by no means providing guidance. These are just recommendations based on CoinMarketCap data from the last 30 days ending September 1.
The price of THORChain tokens collapsed 24.36% to $1.88. The CoinMarketCap ranking is #66, with a real market value of $640,671,392. There are 330,688,061 RUNE coins in circulation, and the maximum supply is 500,000,000.

The THORChain platform token — RUNE — is the base currency for platform management and security. THORChain is characterized by reducing the problem of time losses that a liquidity provider might incur when depositing funds into liquidity pools and the seamless exchange of tokens between chains. Overall, the platform is convenient even for inexperienced traders.
The RUNE token is available on several blockchains, including Binance Chain (BEP-2 token) and Ethereum (ERC-20 token).
Kusama’s price has fallen 24.37% in the past 30 days and is $46.46 as of September 1. This blockchain project has earned CoinMarketCap ranking #86, with a total market cap of $404,889,002. There are only 8,470,098 coins in circulation (how many total KSMs are available is unknown).
Kusama is an experimental blockchain platform for developers with good compatibility and scalability. It is based on Parity Technologies’ Substrate tools and has almost the same code base as Polkadot, a better-known project.
Kusama is cheaper, so early-stage startups more often use it. The platform is also good for experimenting. A project on this platform can start working immediately, releasing updates and improvements without having to make a fork.
Next on the list of losers is the DeFi protocol token
Convex Finance allows liquidity providers
Another ambitious project made it to the fail-list. The price of ApeCoin dropped to $4.69 (down 25.77%) in 30 days. The project’s rating on CoinMarketCap is #36, with a total market cap of $1,471,338,401. There are 306,875,000 APE coins in circulation (the maximum supply is 1,000,000,000).
ApeCoin is an ERC-20 management token in the APE ecosystem to empower and stimulate interest in Web3. The decentralized project was inspired by Yuga Labs’ NFT brainchild, Bored Ape Yacht Club.
Token holders run the ApeCoin DAO
For developers, ApeCoin is a tool to participate in the ecosystem by incorporating ApeCoin into services, games, and other projects.
Who would have thought that this project would also be among the losers? The value of The Sandbox tokens fell 26.63% in August, and SAND is now worth $0.92. The blockchain-based virtual world’s ranking on CoinMarketCap has dropped to #38, with a total market cap of $1,379,252,765. There are 1,473,270,110 SAND coins in circulation (a total of perhaps 3,000,000,000).
The Sandbox was created in 2011 by Pixowl. In this virtual world, users can create, build, buy and sell digital assets in the form of a game. The platform combined the capabilities of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Users can be both creators and gamers. The valid SAND token facilitates transactions on the platform.
The decentralized storage network Arweave has rapidly lost 26.69% of its monthly price. The AR project token is now worth $9.92 and is ranked by CoinMarketCap as No. 97 (market cap of $336,441,937). There are 33,394,701 AR coins in circulation (the maximum supply is 66,000,000).
The creators of Arweave describe the project as a “collectively owned hard drive that never forgets.” AR’s cryptocurrency is used to indefinitely pay “miners” to store information on the network.
The price of the MKR token fell to $751.43 (down 27.22% over the last 30 days). The rating on CoinMarketCap is #56, with a total market cap of $741,674,920. 977,631 MKR coins are in circulation, and the maximum offer is 1,005,577.

MakerDAO and Maker Protocol, a decentralized organization and software platform running on the Ethereum blockchain. They allow users to issue and manage a DAI stablecoin.
The famous Move-To-Earn app, a type of game that connects the player in the real world to his representative in the game, has suddenly joined the regiment of notable losers. It rewards active walking.
The price of STEPN tokens fell 27.64% and is now worth $0.66. The rating on CoinMarketCap is #84, with a real market capital of $406,933,725. There are 600,000,000 out of 6,000,000,000 GMT coins in circulation.
STEPN (GMT) runs on the Solana blockchain. To start earning in-game currency, users must first buy NFT sneakers.
The Filecoin FIL project token price was $5.70 as of September 1 (down 28.86% over the last 30 days). The CoinMarketCap rating is #34 with a current market value of $1,570,908,378. There are 273,125,450 coins in circulation (total supply unknown).
Filecoin, a decentralized storage system, has proclaimed its goal to store humanity’s most important information. Unlike cloud storage, Filecoin makes data easily retrievable and difficult to censor.
Membership in the Filecoin network through mining and storage is directly linked to obtaining greater rewards. Blockchain motivates participants to act honestly and store as much data as possible.
And finally, we get to the biggest loser of September. This is the Helium project and its token HNT. The cryptocurrency price fell by almost half in the past month — by 43.33%. The price of HNT dropped to $4.92. CoinMarketCap’s current ranking is #69, with a real market cap of $593,550,615. Coin volume outstanding is 125,326,533 with a high of 223,000,000.

It allows small wireless devices to communicate with each other by sending data through a network of nodes. They are a combination of a wireless gateway and a blockchain-mining device. Users are rewarded for mining in the form of Helium’s internal cryptocurrency, the HNT token.
