“USELESS Token Emerges as Crypto’s Hottest Meme Trend Despite Offering Zero Utility.”

USELESS Coin Turns Nothing Into Millions as Crypto’s New Meme Obsession

In a crypto market where countless tokens pledge to change the world but barely deliver a tweet, one token is leaning hard into honesty—and reaping surprising rewards.

Meet USELESS, the memecoin proudly declaring itself worthless. And yet, this self-deprecating project has managed to capture crypto’s imagination, recently climbing to a market valuation of nearly $100 million.

The token’s ethos is pure parody. Its website ridicules the grandiose promises typical in crypto, and the community loves it.

“USELESS coin is the greatest memecoin narrative to emerge from the trenches this year,” said Unipcs, a major backer, speaking to CoinDesk on Telegram. “Every memecoin is technically useless… yet here we are, with one actually called USELESS leading the pack.”

While critics often dismiss the entire crypto industry as pointless, USELESS has flipped that critique into a brand. It’s selling the idea that if every memecoin is essentially useless, there’s honesty—and humor—in embracing that reality outright.

Unlike Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, PEPE, or mog (MOG), which rely on animal mascots or viral memes, USELESS keeps it simple. Its symbol is a plain golden coin engraved with a carved “U,” crafted by its community.

“The most honest project is the one that admits it’s Useless.”

Nowhere is the USELESS hype clearer than in the story of Unipcs, the trader famed for turning a $16,000 punt on BONK futures into more than $20 million. Sensing the meme potential early, he poured $382,000 into 28 million USELESS tokens—roughly 2.8% of the total supply. At its peak, that stash swelled to over $2.3 million. He insists he hasn’t sold a single token.

To casual observers, USELESS may seem like just another example of crypto insanity. But for memecoin diehards, it’s the ultimate on-chain truth: pure speculative fun, with no pretensions of utility.

“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 stagnant market where most projects talk big but move little, USELESS has found its own lane: no grand plans, no utilities—just comedic value and cult momentum.

“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 added.

And for now, that absurdity is worth nearly $90 million—proof that in crypto, being utterly useless can sometimes be the most valuable narrative of all.
