USELESS Coin Turns Nothing Into a $90M Meme Sensation in Flat Crypto Markets
In a crypto landscape overflowing with tokens that promise the moon and deliver little more than memes, one coin has flipped the script entirely. Meet USELESS — the self-proclaimed worthless token that’s become crypto’s latest cult obsession, racking up a valuation approaching $100 million.
Unlike countless other coins boasting grand roadmaps and questionable utility, USELESS makes zero promises and wears its name like a badge of honor. Its website mocks the hype-driven world of crypto, leaning into the idea that the entire industry might, in fact, be… well, useless.
“USELESS coin is the greatest memecoin narrative to emerge from the trenches this year,” said Unipcs, one of the coin’s biggest supporters, in a Telegram chat with CoinDesk. “Every memecoin is technically useless… yet here we are, with one actually called USELESS leading the pack.”
For crypto skeptics, the entire industry looks pointless. But USELESS has seized that narrative and turned it into a unique selling point. The token markets itself as the ultimate memecoin — its only value coming from the cult-like devotion of those who find humor in its pure pointlessness.
While coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, PEPE, and mog (MOG) thrive on cute mascots and viral imagery, USELESS opts for simplicity. Its logo is a plain golden coin engraved with a chiseled “U,” created by its community.
“The most honest project is the one that admits it’s Useless.”

No one embodies this irony better than Unipcs, the trader famed for turning a $16,000 bet into more than $20 million with BONK-related futures. Seeing comedic and financial potential in USELESS, he aped in early, spending $382,000 to scoop up 28 million tokens, about 2.8% of the total supply. At the peak, that stake was worth over $2.3 million — and he insists he hasn’t sold a single token.
To crypto outsiders, USELESS might look like yet another cautionary tale. But to memecoin enthusiasts, it’s precisely what crypto was meant to be: chaotic, irreverent, and driven by collective belief.
“Every memecoin is technically useless, yet many sit at multi-billion-dollar valuations: Dogecoin at $26 billion, Shiba Inu at $7 billion, PEPE at $4.4 billion, and so on,” Unipcs explained. “That makes USELESS coin incredibly undervalued at its current market cap—because all it takes is anchoring it to the valuation of these other ‘useless’ memecoins.”
In a market that’s been treading water for months, USELESS has found its niche. It’s not trying to build the next DeFi revolution or become the backbone of global payments. Instead, it’s thriving on pure comedic value — and somehow, that’s working.
“The higher it climbs, the more absurd it becomes, the more attention it draws, and the stronger the flywheel effect that pushes it even higher,” Unipcs said.
Right now, that absurdity carries a price tag of nearly $90 million — proof that in crypto, sometimes being utterly useless is the most powerful utility of all.
