Silver plunged 6% intraday, breaching the defense of long positions, as a smart money entity reaped $2.16 million in shorting profits.

According to Hyperinsight’s monitoring, the Silver (SILVER) contract on Hyperliquid is currently priced at $56.78, down 6.34% over 24 hours, with a trading volume of $263 million, ranking first in the precious metals sector. Driven by gold prices falling below $4,000 and safe-haven funds flowing back into chip stocks, short sellers have reaped significant profits. Notably, smart money address 0x49e has been shorting Silver on 3x leverage since April 29 at a high of $78.79, holding a position worth $5.77 million, and has already booked a precise profit of $2.16 million (+81%). On-chain Silver whales are overall bearish: the nominal position size of short sellers is approximately 1.5 times that of long positions. The average entry price for short positions is around $65.05, and the current price is 12.7% lower than this level. Long positions are overall trapped, with an average entry price of about $59.75, roughly 5% above the current price. Current short sellers have sufficient safety margins: the nearest short liquidation line stands at $77.18, some 36% above the current price, meaning short sellers face almost no liquidation pressure.

China's Supreme People's Procuratorate announced a major drug-related money laundering case: Li Moubo laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after combined punishment for multiple crimes.

On June 25, China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) held a press conference. Miao Shengming, SPP’s deputy procurator-general, stated that procuratorial organs are thoroughly investigating both self-money laundering and third-party money laundering crimes, and vigorously promoting the recovery of drug-related assets to ensure full coverage in the investigation and punishment of drug-related money laundering offenses. From January 2025 to May 2026, procuratorial bodies nationwide prosecuted more than 1,200 individuals for drug-related money laundering crimes. A notable example is the major cross-border case of drug smuggling, trafficking, transportation and money laundering involving Li Moubo and others, which was supervised by the SPP and handled by Chongqing’s procuratorial organs. Li laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after receiving combined punishment for multiple crimes in accordance with the law. (Xinhua News Agency)

The crypto market is beginning to feel bullish again – CoinMarketCap’s Fear and Greed Index has increased by three points in the past 24 hours. Tokens like World Liberty Financial, Aster, and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance are all up over 10%, and some smaller tokens are performing even better.

This comes after a period of deep fear and a mass exit of weak hands in mid-October. However, the current shift indicates something significant: bulls are regaining control of the market.

Could this be the start of the Q4 rally? That’s the consensus among smart money traders, with several exciting predictions recently emerging. But one area drawing particular attention is the meme coin space.

We’ve identified three projects that top analysts are calling the best meme coins to buy. All three are breaking away from the traditional meme coin playbook and doing something entirely different. Let’s take a look at these projects and why they might be this cycle’s top choices for meme coin gains.

Table of Contents

PEPENODEMemeCoreBitcoin HyperVisit Bitcoin Hyper. Pepe is the biggest meme coin to launch this cycle, peaking at a $10 billion valuation in December 2024. And even though its price has fallen alongside that of many altcoins from their cycle highs, it remains the third-largest meme coin by market cap.

So imagine if someone harnessed the brand power of Pepe coin and expanded it into a much larger ecosystem – because that’s what PEPENODE is doing. It’s building the world’s first Mine-to-Earn meme coin, which essentially is a memeified, gamified version of crypto mining.

Users start with a virtual server room, spend PEPENODE tokens to buy Miner Nodes and generate mining power, then earn meme coin rewards. It’s a full-fledged on-chain economy, and PEPENODE is the native utility token. This is why top analysts like Crypto Tech Gaming rank it as the best meme coin to buy now.

PEPENODE is currently in a presale, with $1.9 million raised so far, indicating strong investor demand.

However, in the grand scheme of things, a $1.9 million raise leaves tons of room for investors to get in early and potentially secure huge gains. Visit PEPENODE.

MemeCore MemeCore is another innovative project that completely reverses the typical meme coin model. It’s developing a Layer 1 blockchain for meme coins, powered by a unique consensus mechanism called “Proof of Meme.”

The project claims to be creating ‘Meme 2.0’ – an era where meme coins evolve from speculative assets into long-term cultural and economic movements.

What’s notable about MemeCore is the speed at which it has become a major player in the meme coin space, with its price soaring by 3,700% this year, making it the fourth-largest meme coin, behind only Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe.

Although this means less upside potential compared to a new launch like PEPENODE, its explosive growth and focus on innovation make it hard to ignore. Regarding its price potential, analyst Nilhius predicts a 50% increase to over $3 in the coming weeks.

Bitcoin Hyper Bitcoin Hyper is doing something no other project has done before: building a Bitcoin Layer 2 blockchain powered by the Solana Virtual Machine. This setup doesn’t just offer Solana-level speed and fees; it also makes Bitcoin Hyper interoperable with Solana, enabling ecosystem apps like Pump.fun and Believe to seamlessly migrate to the Layer 2 and leverage Bitcoin’s security and liquidity.

There is $2.2 trillion in mostly idle liquidity on Bitcoin. If just 0.1% of that flows into the HYPER ecosystem, there would be tremendous opportunities for gains. That’s why analyst Umar Khan predicts that HYPER could see 100x (10,000%) returns, potentially surpassing the ROI of MemeCore.

Currently, investors can purchase Bitcoin Hyper during its ongoing presale at a discounted rate $0.013165 per token.

The presale has already raised an impressive $24.6 million, making it one of the strongest fundraising events in the market right now.

Starknet (STRK), Zcash (ZEC), and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) are outpacing the short-term recovery in the cryptocurrency market, posting double-digit gains over the last 24 hours. The privacy coins and Artificial Intelligence (AI) token regain strength, aiming to extend the recovery further.  

Starknet prepares for a potential breakout rally Starknet edges higher by 10% at press time on Thursday, extending the 21% rise from the previous day. The zero-knowledge-based Ethereum layer-2 recovery exceeds a local resistance trendline on the 4-hour chart, marking the highest trading price since February 2. 

The privacy coin trades above the R1 Pivot Point at $0.2657 on the same chart, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 72 enters the overbought zone, indicating strong buying. If STRK holds a decisive close above $0.2657, it could target the R2 Pivot Point at $0.3139. 

Corroborating the upside, Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) extends the uptrend with rising green histogram bars suggesting a rise in bullish momentum on the 4-hour timeframe. 

STRK/USDT 4-hour price chart.If STRK fails to hold the momentum, it could retest the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.1973.

Zcash recovery aims to rechallenge the $750 resistanceZcash trades above $670 at the time of writing on Thursday, extending a rebound from the 50-period EMA on the 4-hour chart towards the $700 mark. However, the critical resistance for the privacy coins lies higher at the $750 supply zone, which has remained intact since November 7. 

The upswing in ZEC prices marks a trend shift with the MACD crossing above its signal line, indicating renewed bullish momentum. However, the declining RSI, currently at 58, reflects underlying weakness in buying pressure. 

ZEC/USDT 4-hour price chart.If ZEC flips before crossing $700, it could test the 50-period EMA at $609 or the S1 Pivot Point at $501 if the correction extends.

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance remains vulnerable in a retestArtificial Superintelligence Alliance token drops 3% by press time on Thursday, after recording 10% gains on the previous day. Still, the intraday pullback could be a retest of the resistance trendline breakout on the 4-hour chart, formed by connecting the highs on November 8 and 18. 

A potential post-retest rebound in FET could target the R1 Pivot Point at $0.3543. 

The momentum indicators on the 4-hour chart indicate bullish strength, as the MACD rise remains steady, with successively higher green histogram bars. Additionally, the RSI at 61 approaches the overbought zone with a fluctuating uptrend as buying pressure rises. 

FET/USDT 4-hour price chart.On the flip side, if FET slips below the 200-period EMA at $0.3133, it would nullify the trendline breakout, risking the 50-period EMA at $0.2944.

Dogwifhat (WIF), Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) are leading the bullish charge over the last 24 hours. The meme and AI coins anticipate further growth as momentum shifts bullish amid the ongoing US Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting on a potential 25-basis-point interest rate cut. 

Dogwifhat faces opposition from the 50-day EMADogwifhat trades below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $0.450, struggling to break above the resistance trendline connecting the October 13 and 29 highs on the daily logarithmic chart. At the time of writing, WIF is trading lower by nearly 1% on Wednesday, after a 12% rise the previous day. 

If the meme coin clears above $0.450, it could extend the recovery to $0.619, aligning with the October 13 high.

The technical indicators on the daily chart suggest a rise in bullish momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 54, holding steady above the halfway line with room on the upside reflecting growth potential before hitting the overbought zone.

Similarly, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicates a rise in trend momentum as the average lines rise toward the zero line, accompanied by intense green histogram bars.

WIF/USDT daily logarithmic chart.Looking down, if WIF reverses from $0.450, it could risk revisiting the November 22 low at $0.308.

Pudgy Penguins extends breakout rally Pudgy Penguins is down 1% at press time on Wednesday, following a 10% rise on the previous day. The meme coin steadies toward the 50-day EMA at $0.01485 after a bullish breakout from the descending channel on the daily logarithmic chart. 

Beyond the moving average, the November 11 high at $0.01665 and the 200-day EMA at $0.02064 could serve as overhead resistances.

The RSI is at 50 on the daily chart, reflecting a recovery to neutral levels from heightened selling pressure. Additionally, the MACD and signal line boost the upward trend, signaling increasing bullish momentum after the channel breakout.

PENGU/USDT daily logarithmic chart.On the flip side, the $0.01000 psychological level serves as a key support.

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance aims for a bullish breakout of a falling channel patternArtificial Superintelligence Alliance trades above $0.2600 at press time on Wednesday after gaining nearly 10% on Tuesday. The AI token eyes to break above the resistance trendline of the falling channel pattern at $0.2650. 

A decisive close above this level could confirm the pattern breakout, which could extend the rally to the 50-day EMA at $0.2977, followed by the 200-day EMA at $0.5144.

The MACD indicator flashes a bullish crossover on the daily chart, as the blue line crosses above the red one, accompanied by fresh green histogram bars. Meanwhile, the RSI at 48 hovers close to the midline, maintaining a neutral stance.

FET/USDT daily logarithmic chart.If FET reverses from $0.2650, a downcyle within the falling channel pattern could test the lower boundary near the $0.2000 round figure.

Since the start of the year, Virtual (VIRTUAL)—a protocol that allows users to create and own AI agents—has surged by 70%. Although the AI agent narrative has cooled, VIRTUAL’s price rally has brought renewed attention to the project.

What forces are driving this rise, and how do analysts view VIRTUAL’s outlook for 2026?

Why Do Many Analysts Hold a Positive View on Virtual in 2026?Recently, the project introduced three new agent launch mechanisms: Pegasus, Unicorn, and Titan.

This move represents a notable and bold overhaul. Virtual abandoned a single, unified token launch mechanism and replaced it with differentiated models tailored to specific use cases.

These mechanisms aim to optimize the development and deployment of AI agents on blockchain networks. Each model fits a different stage of project growth, from experimentation to scaling.

Pegasus (Early distribution and testing): Designed for builders who want to launch quickly and validate market demand. Unicorn (Trust, capital, and accountability): Built for builders seeking funding while maintaining transparency. Titan (Large-scale launches for reputable teams): Intended for projects with existing products, backing, or real-world deployment. This launch framework gives investors additional reasons to maintain confidence in VIRTUAL. The token had previously declined by more than 75% at its lowest point.

Another factor supporting the recovery is a strategic investment by Virtuals Ventures into PredictBase.

We’re excited to back @PredictBase as they pioneer the next frontier of decentralized prediction markets. By bridging the gap between autonomous AI agents and onchain prediction, PredictBase is building a more intelligent and efficient trading environment. We look forward to… https://t.co/CGMKmYDNQU

— Virtuals Ventures (@virtuals_vc) January 5, 2026 This partnership creates significant opportunities for AI agents on VIRTUAL to interact with PredictBase. Use cases include participating in predictions, executing automated trading strategies, and optimizing liquidity.

This move is particularly significant, given that experts predict the prediction market will boom in 2026.

Additionally, VIRTUAL’s long-term catalyst may stem from the x402 trend. x402 is an emerging micropayment protocol that gained traction late last year.

According to an analysis from Layergg on X, x402 aligns closely with the era of the AI agent. The protocol enables autonomous agents to make small payments for services such as shopping, market forecasting, and even robotics.

Within this trend, VIRTUAL plays an important role. The project functions as both an AI agent launchpad and a platform that supports x402-based payments.

“Launchpads moved like levered beta. AI agents are waking up again. x402 still early, but clearly being bid,” analyst 0xJeff said.

VIRTUAL’s rebound does not stand alone. It is part of a broader recovery across AI-related tokens. For example, Render (RENDER) gained 80% over the past seven days, while Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) rose more than 45% over the same period.

Retail investors appear to be prioritizing the AI sector in early 2026.

On-Chain Data Still Shows No Clear ImprovementDespite these expectations, the outlook remains speculative. VIRTUAL’s price recovery has not been accompanied by a resurgence in new token creation on the platform.

Data from sources such as Dune Analytics shows that only a handful of tokens launch each day in early 2026. Only 1 or 2 tokens are launched daily.

The Number of Tokens Launched on the Virtual Daily. Source: DuneMoreover, tokens launched on the platform have failed to generate the same traction and visibility as certain meme tokens on Pump.fun.

In addition, the amount of VIRTUAL staked has declined from more than 40 million since mid-last year to 25.8 million currently.

Total Staking Amount on Virtual Protocol. Source: DuneStaking VIRTUAL allows holders to earn rewards by staying continuously engaged with ecosystem activity. However, staking levels have yet to show any signs of recovery.

Without a clear recovery in real demand, VIRTUAL’s price rally may struggle to remain sustainable over the long term. In that case, optimistic forecasts would amount to little more than hype.

Elon Musk Sparks AGI Frenzy as Decentralized AI Tokens Climb 7%

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance’s FET price pushes toward key resistance on steady AI-token demand, with price, volume, and on-chain positioning pointing to accumulation rather than euphoric blow-off.

Summary

FET trades around $0.23, up roughly 5–11% over 24 hours, on approximately $79–200 million in daily volume. Market cap sits near $520 million, with FET up more than 40% over the past 30 days as the token recovers from late-2025 lows near $0.12–$0.18. The token anchors the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, a merged AI-crypto stack built from Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and others. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance’s (FET) FET price is trading near $0.23 today, with a 24-hour price increase in the range of 5–11% and a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $79–200 million across major venues. The token’s market cap currently sits around $520–527 million, supported by a circulating supply of roughly 2.26 billion tokens — placing FET firmly in mid-cap AI-infrastructure territory. Key resistance lies at $0.25–$0.28, a zone that coincides with prior rejection levels and the 50% Fibonacci retracement from the 2024 high to the 2025 lows.

The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance is an AI-infrastructure project formed by merging Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and Cudos into a single universal AI token, FET, which is set to ultimately migrate toward the $ASI ticker. Price performance over the past 30 days shows FET up more than 40% against USDT, a sharp recovery after the token spent most of late 2025 consolidating between $0.12 and $0.18. Despite the strong monthly performance, FET remains roughly 93% below its all-time high of $3.45 set on March 28, 2024, underscoring the magnitude of the drawdown holders have endured over the past two years.

Whales, liquidity, and technical structure On-chain data paints a picture of coordinated accumulation rather than retail-driven momentum. Wallet distribution analytics show addresses holding between 10,000 and 100,000 FET tokens increased by around 12% over the past week, indicating mid-tier investor positioning ahead of a potential breakout. Volume spikes have coincided with price breakouts at the $0.145, $0.185, and $0.225 levels, with buying pressure absorbing resistance at each step rather than gapping through it — a pattern more consistent with deliberate accumulation than a short-term liquidity event. However, rising exchange reserves remain a concern, with on-chain data showing tokens moving onto centralized platforms, adding overhead selling pressure that could make a sustained break above $0.25 more difficult.

From a technical standpoint, FET’s critical resistance sits between $0.25 and $0.28. Breaking through this zone with conviction would likely trigger algorithmic buying from momentum strategies, potentially pushing the token toward $0.35–$0.40 in the near term. Conversely, failure to hold support at $0.22 could signal exhaustion and open the door to a retest of $0.18. The RSI across multiple timeframes shows FET entering overbought territory on shorter intervals while maintaining neutral readings on daily and weekly charts — a divergence that suggests the rally has room to extend on higher timeframes, despite short-term consolidation risk. Binance’s FET/USDT pair remains the dominant venue by volume, confirming tight spreads and deep liquidity across centralized exchanges.

Analyzing if FET can hold its make-or-break level or drop to $0.20

TLDR: FET closed above its 200-day moving average at $0.2261, trading at $0.2385 for the first time since its downtrend.
The token collapsed from $0.95 in mid-2024 to $0.10 in September 2025 before forming a base with higher lows.
Daily volume of 27.95M supported the breakout above the 200-day MA, adding conviction to the price move.
The next resistance sits near $0.30, while a close back below $0.2261 with volume would invalidate the setup. FET, the native token of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, has closed above its 200-day moving average for the first time since its prolonged downtrend started.

The token is trading at $0.2385, just above the 200-day MA sitting at $0.2261. This move has drawn renewed attention from traders who had been tracking the token’s gradual base-building pattern over several months.

A Downtrend Marked by Capitulation and Quiet Recovery FET peaked near $0.95 in mid-2024 before entering one of the steepest declines in the AI token sector. The most severe drop came in September 2025, when the price collapsed to $0.10 within weeks.

Volume during that period far exceeded anything seen before it. That flush represented a classic capitulation event, with forced liquidations driving prices to extreme lows.

From that bottom, the token began forming a quiet but consistent pattern of higher lows. Price found support at $0.15, then $0.19, and later $0.21.

Each level held without attracting much public attention. The 200-day moving average was still declining throughout this period, which kept most market participants away from the token.

Analyst account @2xnmore flagged the setup on April 12th, pointing to the 200-day MA as the one level that could change the chart structure entirely.

On May 7th, that same account noted FET sitting directly on the 200-day MA at $0.2263 with volume beginning to return. That observation proved timely.

On May 7th I posted that $FET was sitting on its 200-day MA at $0.2263 with volume returning.

Today:
– The 200MA is at $0.2261
– Price is at $0.2385$FET just closed above the 200-day MA on the daily for the first time since this downtrend began.

Here is why that matters more… pic.twitter.com/c3fG1oqhrO

— 2xnmore (@2xnmore) May 9, 2026

As of May 9th, FET has closed above the 200-day MA with 27.95 million in daily volume. That volume figure adds weight to the price move.

Without volume support, a close above a key moving average often fails quickly. The current reading changes that narrative somewhat.

What the Chart Requires Next The 200-day moving average is still sloping downward. That fact matters. A declining long-term average means the macro trend has not officially reversed. One daily close above a falling moving average is a signal worth watching, not a confirmed trend change.

The next test for FET is holding above $0.2261 on any pullback. If the token retests that level and holds, the structure strengthens.

The next resistance area on the daily chart sits near $0.30. A move toward that level, combined with continued volume, would add more weight to the recovery case.

On the other hand, a daily close back below $0.2261 with strong selling volume would remove the current setup entirely. That scenario would push the token back into a range where buyers have limited technical support.

The 200-day moving average has been sloping down since late 2024, which points to a weak long-term trend. That context is important for reading the current price action accurately.

The token has done what the chart required after the April setup. Whether it can sustain that is the question now facing both groups of traders; those who dismissed FET months ago and those who watched the base build quietly beneath a declining average.

The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) kicked off phase 1 of its token merger process. The project recently announced the beginning of the migration process with the delisting of Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) and SingularityNET (AGIX) from crypto exchanges. However, FET is facing some pressure following its rebranding and supply update.

ASI Token Merger Phase 1 Begins On July 1, the ASI alliance and Fetch.AI (FET) announced the multi-token merger to unify OCEAN, AGIX, and FET. As part of phase 1, withdrawals and deposits with OCEAN and AGIX would close in preparation for the migration to FET.

Additionally, the delisting process from crypto exchanges would begin for the two tokens. Meanwhile, FET would continue to trade as usual, with spot and perpetual trading continuing under the same tricker.

The initial phase of the merger aims to “onboard exchanges and data aggregators for a smooth transition.” Fetch.AI saw a rebrand across platforms. The project took the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance name and logo but kept its ticker.

Moreover, the ASI alliance opened a migration platform on the SingularityDAO dApp to help users migrate their tokens. Some crypto exchanges, including Kraken and Coinbase, revealed they would not support customers on the ASI token merger.

Kraken announced that the trading of OCEAN and FET will continue to be supported on the platform until further notice. The exchange also noted that users must withdraw their tokens to a self-custodial wallet to migrate them.

Similarly, Coinbase informed its users that it chose to “not execute the migration of these assets on behalf of users.” Both exchanges also clarified they would not support the eventual migration from FET to ASI.

FET Retraces Following Rebrand After updating the token’s name, supply, and market capitalization, FET flipped Render (RNDR) in the AI tokens sector. According to CoinMarketCap data, the token is now the 27th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, with $3.38 billion.

Following the rebrand, FET’s price dropped similarly to when the token merger delay news was released. At the time, the merging tokens saw an 8-10% price decline following the rescheduling of the merger. The delay was attributed to logistical and technical issues.

FET fell from the $1.4 support zone on Monday to $1.27, a 9.7% drop in 12 hours. However, the AI token has recovered the $1.3 mark, currently trading at $1.33, representing a 3.6% decline in the last 24 hours.

Some market watchers found this performance disappointing. Some investors believe it might be best not to get involved until the merger is completed. Sjuul Follings, crypto trader and founder of Alt Crypto Games expressed his disappointment with the token’s recent fakeout.

Per the trader, he was optimistic about the late June price action, believing the token was about to break out and expand ahead of the ASI alliance. Nonetheless, FET could not reclaim the $1.8 support zone and retraced to the $1.4 support level over the weekend.

Despite the bearish trend, investors remain optimistic about the token’s future as the merger’s phase 1 is only starting. Some investors forecast a short-term price target of $5 for ASI and a long-term goal of $13.

CUDOS token could soon join the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, pending a community vote.

This integration would boost scalable computing within the ASI Alliance, decentralizing infrastructure to improve efficiency and reduce constraints, security vulnerabilities, and other potential risks.

CUDOS Eyes Artificial Superintelligence Alliance EntryThe FET community will vote on the proposal between September 19 and 24, a crucial decision that could expand the ASI Alliance from three to four projects. This presents an unprecedented opportunity to build a comprehensive, vertically integrated decentralized AI technology stack.

“The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, a collective recently formed by SingularityNET, Fetch.ai, and Ocean Protocol, today announced the inclusion of CUDOS, a leader in distributed AI computing, as the newest member of the Alliance, subject to community vote,” the Wednesday announcement read.

According to the press release, this proposal comes as the ASI alliance looks to bolster its computing power and reduce reliance on centralized providers like Amazon (AWS). Indeed, CUDOS would do that, given its role in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) space.

Cudos utilizes decentralized technology to provide powerful, scalable, and cost-efficient computing resources, offering advanced solutions for AI-driven projects.

The potential addition of CUDOS to the ASI Alliance would bring decentralized cloud computing capabilities to the group. Cudos founder Matt Hawkins highlighted that its advanced graphic processing units (GPUs) could significantly enhance AI processing within the alliance.

“This groundbreaking collaboration merges compute power with AI innovation to accelerate the development of decentralized Artificial General Intelligence (AGI),” Hawkins said.

Fetch.ai and Singularity.NET jointly invested $153 million in GPU hardware earlier in the year. This set the foundation for the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance’s mission- providing computational power requisite for large-scale AI and machine learning applications. Bringing Cudos’ global distributed computing network to the mix would introduce more contemporary AI GPUs.

This collaboration could support product development for the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance and enhance the utility of the FET token, aligning with the broader push toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI).

2. Virtuals Protocol ($VIRTUAL) – Connect & Move Assets Between Virtual Worlds

Virtuals Protocol ($VIRTUAL) is a bot that can help users navigate various digital worlds. These include gaming worlds (MMORPGs, for example), metaverses, social media platforms, virtual classrooms and offices, and training simulations.

It can manage your digital assets (such as NFTs, avatars, and game items), interact with those assets across platforms, and offer personalized recommendations unique to each user.

At a time when virtual worlds are expanding (you only need to look at Mark Zuckerberg’s efforts to create a metaverse on Facebook), tools like Virtuals Protocol leverage AI models trained to manage crypto assets and interact with blockchain APIs. They then move across multiple virtual worlds and manage the digital assets in each one.

In the virtual world, the AI agent learns, interacts with the environment, and makes decisions for you. For example, if you use a crypto wallet in an online game, the AI agent will manage the wallet for you inside the game.

$VIRTUAL is currently trading at $3.20 a token, and its market cap is a hefty $1.9B. This gives the AI agent coin credibility and investor confidence because they can see that a large amount of money is behind the project to pay out promised dividends and cover operating costs..

You can follow Virtuals Protocol on X and Telegram and check out their governance platform.

3. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance ($FET) – Create a Unified Ecosystem For Multiple AI Agents

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance ($FET) is a team of four top AI companies joining forces to produce a superior AI product. Those companies are:

SingularityNET focuses on decentralized AI development and an AI services marketplace. Fetch.AI develops autonomous AI agents to learn, act, and interact within decentralized systems. Ocean Protocol offers secure and decentralized data sharing. Cudos provides high-performance computing power for blockchain and AI applications. The four companies are now pooling their knowledge and expertise to make better, more innovative, more accessible AI products and services. It’s unusual to see such a business alliance in the AI space.

$FET is currently sitting on a token price of $1.34 and a total market cap of $3.2B. There have been some big fluctuations in the price lately, but the coin is now rallying, and investor confidence looks to be extremely bullish.

4. ai16Z ($AI16Z) – Participate in AI-Powered Investment Strategies

ai16Z ($AI16Z) has created a smart assistant to help you make better venture capital investment decisions.

It’ll take what humans can take hours, days, and weeks to do and do it in a tiny fraction of the time. It will then make decisions on your behalf based on the data it has analyzed.

Venture capital investment usually involves finding and researching promising companies and closely examining reams of company data. Then, a judgment has to be made about whether to invest in each company based on a series of internal and market analyses – all highly complex stuff that is better carried out by specialized AI agents.

In a world where faster decisions can make all the difference between making a profit and suffering a loss, ai16Z can become a very valuable tool in speeding up long, tedious, labor-intensive processes. However, VC-backed companies can still not be successful, so using something like ai16Z is no guarantee of fewer financial failures.

$AI16Z is currently at $1.68 per token, and its market cap is just over $1.8B.

Being a venture capital firm, ai16Z has a rather corporate-looking X account, although strangely, there’s also a parody account unconnected to the company. There looks to be no Telegram channel presence.

5. Freysa AI ($FAI) – Test AI Against Humans in Crypto Games

Freysa AI ($FAI) is an AI agent where humans have to convince the AI to release a pot of cryptocurrency. Look at it as humans interacting with AI, testing its capabilities and limits, and attempting to get the AI to agree with them. With each interaction, Freya learns, so in theory, each successive interaction gets harder and harder.

You’ll get money if you win, and the AI model learns. In other words, you must chat it up and get it on your side. And one user actually managed to do it, gaining almost $21,000. Not a bad day’s work.

Freysa.AI is currently trading at a very low 7 cents per token, with a market cap of ‘only’ $587M (which is relatively low compared to the others on this list.) Although the token price is relatively low, the substantial market cap should allay investor concerns about Freysa’s long-term stability and liquidity.

Plus, 7 cents a token is a nice, low-barrier entry for anyone looking to buy AI agent tokens for the first time.

6. PAAL AI ($PAAL) – Gives AI-Powered Chatbots Custom Trading Tools

PAAL AI ($PAAL) is an AI assistant providing crypto research and real-time metrics. It can provide real-time data on cryptocurrencies and give you the tools to buy, sell, and withdraw crypto from your wallet.

PAAL.AI can make trades on your behalf based on your defined rules. It can also analyze the market, study new coins, and then buy them for you, again based on the parameters you set in advance, such as the minimum token price you would accept and the maximum amount you would want to spend.

And in case you’re worried that the AI bot will mess up and lose your money, you can pre-set parameters such as trade size, take profit, stop loss, and maximum slippage.

PAAL.AI is currently running at around 44 cents per token, with a total market cap of $386M. This is again a bit on the low side compared to, say, Virtuals Protocol’s $1.9B. But it’s still a large enough amount to satisfy investors that PAAL is a viable investment option.

If you want to follow their online communities, PAAL.AI has a presence on X, Telegram, and Discord.

How We Selected the Best AI Crypto Coins to Invest in AI agent coins have a different use case than meme coins, so you’re probably wondering how we selected these five recommendations. What metrics did we look at to come to our conclusions?

Origin & Team The first thing we check out is who’s behind the project. Are they geeky developers? Wall Street bankers? What’s their background? Traditionally, those behind crypto coins don’t reveal themselves (we still don’t know who Satoshi Nakamoto is).

But developers sometimes leave subtle clues online about themselves, such as references to Wall Street. So we check that out first.

Community Then we check out the community angle. AI agent coins will have a different type of community. Meme coins tap into the existing fan bases of the original meme. AI agent fans, on the other hand, will get excited about the technology and its future potential.

AI agent coins are a bit more niche than meme coins. Their success or failure may not depend on an online community. Some big investors don’t appear on social media.

Functionality AI agent coins are going to have a function. Unlike some meme coins that may exist purely to please its fans and bring them together into one community, AI agents will have been built with a specific tech purpose in mind. So we always look closely at that and analyze its potential usefulness.

Investors prefer to see a long-term vision for real utility before deciding whether to invest their funds in the project. They may also like the meme itself, but obviously, they’re also looking for signs that they will get a good ROI.

Time in Market & Market Performance Like any other kind of investment, it’s good to look at a cryptocurrency’s past performance and price history. There’s always hype around a new project trying to attract capital. The project’s cheerleaders always claim big successes, but are they truthful?

A past history helps to answer that, and it helps to assess an AI agent coin’s viability. However, if the coin has just launched, we must look at other factors instead.

Are AI Agent Coins a Good Investment? AI agent coins can be a good investment if their real-world use case promises to bring improvements or radically new ideas. If the agent’s purpose becomes popular with users, its long-term investment prospects can look very bright.

However, we must provide a big disclaimer – we’re not financial advisors, lawyers, Wall Street bankers, or crypto developers. We’re simply a group of people who analyze cryptocurrencies and attempt to provide the best recommendations we can to our readers.

This is to say that you shouldn’t take what we say as gospel. A prediction is not a cast-iron guarantee that you can take to the bank. Besides our predictions, you recommend bookmarking other trusted sites like CoinMarketCap.

The crypto market waters can get rather choppy, so you need to consider several factors when doing your research. We also follow these markers when making predictions.

1. Growth Potential We first obviously need to judge a coin’s future growth potential.

Here, indicators to watch out for include total market capitalization, past performance and pricing history, and the current token price. Studying what the AI agent coin has been designed to do can also help judge how much mileage it potentially has in the future. Crypto trading tools are likely to do exceptionally well.

After all, why invest in a coin that will go nowhere fast? Some wealthy idle people may buy crypto for fun and as an amusing distraction. However, many crypto token holders do it for investment reasons. They want to make a profit.

2. Lower Token Price It’s normal to look for bargains when figuring out what AI agent coins to buy next. A lower token price makes it more cost-effective to buy more early and then let the markets take it forward. After all, that’s how big profits can be generated.

But sometimes, a lower token price can tell a different story. It may be because it has a low market capitalization, making it potentially worthless.

However, low market cap coins aren’t always dead on arrival, and there are always exceptions. The trick is figuring out which ones are hidden gems. How do you do that? Research. Lots of research.

3. Diversification Diversification is the key to minimizing your losses. Instead of putting $50,000 on one coin, for example, splitting it up into $5,000 payments on 10 coins makes more sense. So if one coin flops, you still have hope in the other nine. This is why we give you multiple recommendations.

There are lots of crypto coins hitting the market in 2025. With 13,000+ cryptocurrencies estimated to be out there, with a total market cap of over $1.3T, it makes finding potential high performers difficult, and you’ll obviously lose money if you back the wrong horse.

Should I Invest in AI Agent Coins? Ultimately, whether you should invest in AI agent coins is your own personal decision. You have to consider all the various risk factors, your willingness to take a potential loss, and your ability to hold on when the crypto waters lurch.

But here are some guidelines to help you make that decision:

Buy AI Agent Coins If: You like investing in new cutting-edge technologies. You don’t mind the volatility and uncertainty. You’re willing to take a long-term view on holding the investment You can take a financial hit if the coin takes a dive. Don’t Buy AI Agent Coins If: You prefer safe, stable currencies with a proven track record. You don’t fully understand what a specific AI agent bot does. You prefer short-term gains over long-term ones. You can’t afford to lose your investment. Best AI Agent Coins Summary The six options listed here have practical and productive real-world uses. From analyzing and making investment decisions to managing your digital assets, these AI agents have the potential to do remarkable things. So if they do as well as their developers hope, investing in these coins will likely be a good decision.

Once again, we must stress that we only provide predictions, not solid financial advice. Always do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

FAQ 1. What is an AI agent? An AI agent is a sophisticated bot that can perform tasks on your behalf on the blockchain, and learn from its mistakes. These can include automating crypto transactions, managing portfolios, and providing personalized financial advice.

2. What are the best AI agent coins to invest in? Based on our in-depth analysis, the best AI crypto coins to invest in right now are Virtuals Protocol, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, ai16Z, Freysa AI, and SUBBD. Their low token cost makes them an attractive low-barrier investment that will hopefully mature over time.

3. What are AI agent tokens? AI agent tokens act as the currency in the blockchain transactions AI agents undertake on your behalf. Every action on a blockchain costs money, and these coins would finance those operations.

Developers would also be rewarded for creating and maintaining their AI agent, and token holders would be rewarded for contributing and participating in the network.

4. Which cryptocurrency is linked to AI? Quite a few cryptocurrencies are throwing their lot in with AI. Leveraging AI technology can improve the coins in various ways. Some top cryptocurrencies currently doing this include NEAR, ICP, Render, and TAO. However, it’s worth noting that there are both general AI coins and AI agent coins, which are different.

With AI mania at a fever-pitch right now, there are thousands of such coins with varying degrees of trustworthiness. So you should only invest your money in projects that have been strictly vetted.

5. What are AI agents in crypto? AI agents are technologically sophisticated bots that are designed to perform automated tasks on your behalf on the blockchain and are, in a sense, “self-aware” enough to learn from previous mistakes. With training, they can perform blockchain tasks like placing crypto transactions or managing crypto portfolios, but in a fraction of the time it would take a human to do it.
