The eight-token board closed August at $20.11B — +19.8% above its mid-August base near $16.8B — but the path was the story: an August 21 squeeze day (PEPE +28.6%, WIF +21.2%, SHIB +19.8%, DOGE +13.9% on $3.4B of DOGE volume) and a washout week that gave most of it back. Every member still finished the month green.
