Useless Coin (USELESS) and the philosophy of renouncing promises

What is Useless Coin?

Useless Coin (USELESS) is a new meme token launched in June 2025 on the Solana blockchain. The name of the meme token translates as "useless coin." Thus, the developers show self-irony and directly tell investors that they promise nothing, and their digital asset is 100% useless.

This project is far from the first in which developers have refused to make any promises to their backers. Previously, a similar strategy was employed by meme tokens such as the top-performing Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB). However, the creators of Useless Coin went even further by reflecting their credo in the project's very name.

As the developers note on the official website, their meme token "does nothing." The call to action sounds very ironic: "Join thousands of other users who have accomplished absolutely nothing with USELESS." In this way, the creators of Useless Coin mock crypto project developers who try to convince users of their product's usefulness, which is often not the case.

According to the developers, Useless Coin is the most honest and first cryptocurrency in the world that "truly promises nothing." All of this makes Useless Coin an exceptionally transparent and community-oriented meme token that, in theory, will be minimally affected by sharp corrections due to broken expectations.

The USELESS token

Useless is simply a meme token without any features: no staking, no farming, and no connection to non-fungible tokens (NFTs). USELESS token holders are not granted any special rights, such as decentralized governance (DAO). At the same time, the developers ironically guarantee losses to USELESS investors. As of August 2025, the team has no development plans, and the project roadmap remains empty.

USELESS was launched via LetBONK.fun — a rising decentralized token-launching platform on the Solana blockchain, developed in partnership with the DEX exchange Raydium. A total of 1 billion USELESS tokens were issued — this is the maximum supply, and all of them are already circulating in the crypto market.

The initial liquidity of the Useless Coin token was first placed on the decentralized exchange Raydium, and only a month later did the asset appear on centralized trading platforms, driven by its growing popularity. According to the official website, Useless Coin has over 28,500 holders.

At the time of listing, the price of the USELESS meme token was $0.08. Since then, the asset's price has increased more than threefold, reaching $0.26 as of August 2025, with a market capitalization of $262 million. USELESS ranks 173rd among cryptocurrencies by market cap.

The all-time high (ATH) of the Useless Coin meme token was recorded in late July 2025 at $0.41 — since then, the price of the digital asset has dropped by more than 38% amid a local correction in the crypto market.

Conclusion

Useless Coin, like other meme coins, is a hazardous investment option. Therefore, one should be prepared for the possibility that the price of the USELESS meme token may collapse to zero over time if strong support is lacking. The team itself assumes that by 2030, the USELESS token will remain just as useless as it was initially.

However, the absence of use cases and obvious prospects does not necessarily mean that the token is doomed to fail, since the community plays the key role in such projects.

For example, the Useless Coin community may independently find a use for the meme token, similar to Dogecoin, which is now actively used for payments worldwide alongside Bitcoin.
