Since the launch of the first AI Agent token GOAT (Truth Terminal) in mid-October, AI Agent meme coins have quickly become the new focus of the market.
With Binance's strong push, the GOAT and ACT tokens, two major AI Agent meme track tokens, were successively launched, achieving astonishing leaps in value in a short time, with market enthusiasm at an unprecedented high. Specifically, on November 10, the ACT token surged over 2000% within 24 hours of its listing on Binance, setting a record for the highest first-day gain of a new token on Binance; on November 17, the GOAT token soared to 1.37 dollars, with its market capitalization approaching 1.4 billion dollars; additionally, on November 20, the ANON token from the Farcaster ecosystem gained favor from Vitalik, surging fivefold within just one hour.
With the continuous heating up of AI Agent meme trends like ACT and GOAT, investors are actively seeking new participation opportunities, and applications related to AI Agents are springing up like mushrooms after rain. Statistics show that hundreds of new AI Agent tokens are emerging daily.
As of November 25, according to Coingecko data, the total market capitalization of AI Agent track tokens has reached 5.9 billion dollars, accounting for about 15% of the total market capitalization of AI track projects (40 billion dollars), with a 24-hour trading volume close to 1.4 billion dollars.
AI Agents, as intelligent entities in the field of artificial intelligence, aim to empower AI robots to act independently to achieve a series of complex goals like a human brain, capable of perceiving the surrounding environment, understanding autonomously, making decisions, and executing corresponding actions. For example, users can utilize AI Agents to plan a multi-city trip, automatically arranging flights, booking accommodations, and planning activities based on user preferences and budgets.
By the end of this year, AI Agents will become a key area of competition among major AI giants. Google plans to launch an AI Agent named 'Jarvis' in December, supporting daily tasks such as flight bookings and topic research; OpenAI plans to launch a new AI Agent product 'Operator' in January 2025, capable of automatically executing complex operations such as coding, travel bookings, and e-commerce shopping.
Now, the deep integration of AI Agents and meme coins in the cryptocurrency field is bringing new gameplay to this area. In the crypto world, AI Agents can not only operate their blockchain wallets but also understand economic incentives and utilize tokens to automatically coordinate resources to achieve their goal behaviors.
Currently, AI Agents in the cryptocurrency field have developed into an independent track, covering various aspects such as individual AI Agent meme coins, AI Agent issuance platforms (IAO), and underlying infrastructure for AI Agents. With the rise of the AI Agent meme craze, investors are facing unprecedented participation opportunities. So, what are the participation opportunities in this feast of AI Agents?
AI Agent meme coins represent 1. AI Agent leader GOAT (Terminal of Truths)
GOAT is a meme coin supported by the AI Agent named 'Terminal of Truths'.
'Terminal of Truths' AI Agent is an AI chatbot developed by AI researcher Andy Ayrey (referred to as Andy), utilizing artificial intelligence technology to automatically interact with its fans on social media. Although it is not a cryptocurrency project itself, it plays a crucial role in promoting the GOAT token.
In June this year, Andy created a Twitter account named 'Terminal of Truth', granting its AI robot the freedom to express opinions. Every day, the account publishes over 20 pieces of content, promoting a new belief nurtured by AI - 'Goatse Gospel'.
On October 10, a meme coin named Goatseus (GOAT) emerged on the Pump.fun platform on the Solana blockchain, claiming to be created with the support of 'Truth Terminal'.
Subsequently, on October 11, the 'Terminal of Truth' Twitter account began continuously posting multiple favorable tweets supporting the GOAT token, even reminding users to be wary of scams involving fake GOAT coins.
Once the GOAT token went live, it surged at an incredible speed, increasing by over 10,000% within 24 hours, with a market capitalization breaking through 6.7 million dollars, quickly attracting widespread attention from the cryptocurrency community. Community users also discovered that 'Terminal of Truths' had interacted with ai16z founder Marc Andreessen on Twitter in July and received his 50,000-dollar unconditional research grant.
Under the halo of a16z, many community users speculate that 'Terminal of Truths' may be an AI Agent project laid out by a16z, and GOAT is its initial foray into the cryptocurrency field. This speculation has reignited enthusiasm for funds; within just three days of its launch, GOAT's market capitalization surpassed 100 million dollars. Within four days, the value of this meme coin soared to 300 million dollars.
However, on October 14, the creators of 'Truth Terminal' clarified that they did not launch the meme coin GOAT, but only participated in its promotion. The next day, Marc Andreessen also tweeted that he had provided a 50,000-dollar unconditional personal research grant to 'Terminal of Truths' and its creators to support independent artificial intelligence research during the summer, but emphasized that he had no relationship with the meme token GOAT, had no economic interests, and did not hold any of its tokens.
Despite this, the popularity of GOAT has not diminished at all; instead, it has intensified. Reports of becoming wealthy by buying GOAT keep emerging, and its market capitalization quickly breached the 500 million dollar mark. Various chains have begun to see GOAT clones, igniting a wave of speculation over AI Agent token issuance.
On November 24, Binance Futures officially launched GOAT futures, reigniting enthusiasm among cryptocurrency community users. The market capitalization surged again to 1 billion dollars, achieving an astonishing thousandfold increase.
Although some question whether 'Terminal of Truth' is a semi-autonomous AI Agent operating on Andy's server, with the wallet essentially owned by Andy, and is not sufficiently autonomous. However, new iterations are rapidly emerging.
On November 17, the price of the GOAT token surged to a peak of 1.37 dollars, with a market capitalization nearing 1.4 billion dollars, though it has since retreated, priced at 0.95 dollars as of November 25, with a market capitalization of 95 million dollars.
The rise of GOAT fully demonstrates the new trend of integration between AI Agents and meme culture and crypto, with the bundling of AI Agents and meme coins leading to billions in market capitalization for AI memes in just one month, surprising everyone.
In no time, AI Agents controlling social media accounts (such as Twitter) and corresponding MemeCoins have emerged in droves. The model of AI Agents issuing tokens has become a new model of integration between Crypto and AI Agents. A partner at Placeholder even stated that the emergence of GOAT signifies that people and machines are beginning to be aware of the extent to which machines use blockchain.
2. AI interactive collaboration platform ACT (AI Prophecy)
The AI Prophecy (token ACT) is referred to as 'Act I', initially co-created by a community-driven decentralized AI Agent interactive collaboration platform named AmplifiedAmp (shortened to Amp), which is affiliated with a decentralized AI research community organization, where Truth Terminal founder Andy Adyrey was also an early member.
Unlike the common ChatGPT AI chatbots, Act I supports users in interacting with multiple or various types of AI simultaneously, covering text, image, video, and other models. It is more like a foundational framework for training interaction and collaboration among AI Agents.
In September this year, Act I launched a fundraising campaign on ManiFund, seeking 323,000 dollars, ultimately receiving around 67,800 dollars in funding, with a generous donation of 32,000 dollars from a16z founder Marc Andreessen. Thus, Act I is seen as one of the AI projects incubated with a16z's involvement, just like Truth Terminal.
As the community searches for the next AI Agent that can achieve a hundred-fold growth like GOAT, the ACT token was officially launched on October 19, with a maximum issuance of 1 billion tokens. On the first day of listing, the price of the ACT token skyrocketed from 0.0002 dollars to 0.04 dollars, and its market capitalization quickly rose to 40 million dollars.
Although the narrative of ACT is attractive, the rift between creator APM and the community has been growing. AMP, as one of the developers of the ACT project, once held 6% of the total tokens for the project. However, after the ACT price skyrocketed, AMP repeatedly deceived the community with various reasons and secretly sold tokens, leading to market crashes that severely impacted the ACT price, even bringing it close to zero at one point. This behavior has severely damaged the community's trust in AMP, and ultimately AMP chose to withdraw from the ACT token project, allowing community users to build it spontaneously.
Due to the rift between AMP and the community, the price of the ACT token has fluctuated around 0.02 dollars, with a market capitalization consistently around 20 million dollars.
However, on November 11, Binance announced the listing of the ACT token and added a seed label for it, causing the ACT token to surge from 0.02 dollars to 0.23 dollars within just one hour, an increase of over 10 times, and its market capitalization quickly grew from 20 million dollars to 300 million dollars. The rapid rise in such a short period ignited excitement in the cryptocurrency community, and the media began to report on this legendary AI token.
After being listed on Binance, the ACT token's momentum remains strong, reaching a peak price of over 0.9 dollars on November 14, with a market capitalization close to 1 billion dollars, becoming one of the meme tokens with the largest price increase recently listed on Binance. Currently, the ACT token price has fallen back to around 0.47 dollars, with a market capitalization of approximately 45 million dollars.
3. AI-driven venture capital institution ai16z and its ecosystem tokens: ai16z, Degenai, Eliza
ai16z is an AI-driven venture capital fund created by @Shaw, which, as an AI investment DAO, uses AI agents to collect market information and analyze community consensus both on-chain and off-chain, making investment decisions based on suggestions from DAO members.
Among them, the AI Agent venture investment robot @pmarca launched by ai16z is modeled after a16z partner Marc Andreessen, simulating his investment decision-making process through AI models, and is therefore regarded in the cryptocurrency community as Marc's AI virtual avatar. This innovation has received public support and endorsement from Marc Andreessen himself.
On October 26, ai16z launched its eponymous token ai16z, with a total issuance of about 1 billion tokens. On the second day after the token went live, on October 27, Marc Andreessen shared the cultural T-shirt design of ai16z and the official project Twitter link on his Twitter, revealing that he also owned the same T-shirt. This move added strong endorsement to the ai16z project, rapidly increasing its visibility and public attention.
With the strong support of the a16z founder and the subtle association with the name a16z, the ai16z token surpassed 90 million dollars in market capitalization within just a day or so of its launch, aiming for the 100 million dollar mark, rewriting the legend of wealth in the cryptocurrency community once again.
Since the ACT token went live on Binance on November 11, the ai16z token has seen explosive growth again, skyrocketing from 0.02 dollars on November 11 to a peak of 0.5 dollars on November 19, with a market capitalization reaching 500 million dollars, a cumulative increase of nearly 25 times, becoming a legendary project in the cryptocurrency market once again. However, as of November 25, the price of the ai16z token has fallen back to around 0.26 dollars, with a market capitalization of about 280 million dollars, but it is worth noting that it has not yet been listed on Binance.
The ai16z token is just one part of the ai16z ecosystem, which is continuously laying out and incubating other AI projects.
Among them, Degen Spartan AI (degenai) is an autonomous trading AI agent chatbot developed by ai16z, playing the role of AI trader in ai16z. Before users engage in investment decision discussions with ai16z, they usually converse with Degen Spartan AI first, indirectly influencing ai16z's final decision. A portion of the investment returns from ai16z is also used to repurchase degenai tokens. On October 21, the degenai token was issued, currently priced at about 0.02 dollars, with a market capitalization of approximately 20 million dollars.
On November 19, ai16z founder announced the launch of the uppercase token ELIZA, triggering the naming dispute between the lowercase 'eliza' and uppercase 'ELIZA'.
Eliza is the AI Agent development framework infrastructure built by ai16z, supporting developers to quickly customize their own AI Agents. It also has specific virtual image support, featuring a black-haired girl in an orange outfit themed around ai16z. Currently, there are already hundreds of AI Agents built on the Eliza framework, such as the AI project BasedBeffAI (BeffAI), and new projects are added daily.
However, on November 19, a third party created a lowercase token named 'eliza' on the AI Agent token issuance platform Vvaifudotfun and allocated tokens to the ai16z organization wallet address. This made 'eliza' temporarily the largest holding of ai16z, and community users once believed that 'eliza' received support from ai16z and was a representative token of the Eliza development stack. With various expectations, its price surged, with the market capitalization reaching a maximum of 50 million dollars.
However, this good situation did not last long; on the afternoon of the same day, ai16z founder Shaw announced the issuance of a new uppercase ELIZA token. The original lowercase eliza token seemed to have become a discarded pawn, its price quickly plummeting by 90%, while the newly issued ELIZA token surged, with its market capitalization reaching 80 million dollars within half an hour.
Although Shaw stated that he would airdrop 10% of the supply of the uppercase ELIZA token to eliza holders, users holding eliza expressed dissatisfaction. The community questioned Shaw's previous statement of not issuing tokens, but now after the launch of eliza, he immediately issued the uppercase ELIZA token, severely harming the interests of eliza holders.
In addition, the ELIZA token surged very quickly in the early stages after being launched, with its market capitalization reaching over 90 million dollars within 30 minutes, skyrocketing even before Shaw made a public statement, giving the community users no chance to join. Even more frustrating for community users is that another partner of ai16z, @Logan, has been selling eliza all day and buying ELIZA. This series of actions has completely intensified the conflicts within the community, with users accusing Shaw of colluding with a conspiracy group to manipulate the market.
Subsequently, Shaw clarified on Twitter that he had been collaborating with a third-party team to prepare the token two weeks prior, with plans to launch it this Friday, but did not expect an unknown team to preemptively issue the eliza token, so the date was changed.
However, user responses to Shaw have not been satisfactory, and his personal reputation has suffered a significant blow, triggering a power struggle over uppercase and lowercase control. The lowercase eliza has fallen to 0.018 dollars, with a market capitalization around 17.5 million dollars; the uppercase ELIZA is currently priced at 0.039 dollars, with market capitalization hovering around 39 million dollars. Influenced by this turmoil, the ai16z token dropped more than 50% that day.
Currently, there are three AI Agent-related product lines within the ai16z ecosystem: the AI investment fund Marc Andreessen@pmarca, the AI trader Degen Spartan AI, and the AI Agent development framework and virtual avatar Eliza, with each product issuing tokens.
As of November 22, the virtual AI investment fund managed by Marc Andreessen @pmarca has a capital scale of 275 million dollars.
AI Agent creation and token issuance platform (IAO) 1. AI Agent issuance platform vvaifu.fun (Dasha) on the Solana chain
vvaifu.fun is a platform focused on creating and issuing AI Agent projects on the Solana chain, playing a role similar to that of Pump.fun in the meme coin issuance field. This platform empowers every user to easily create their own AI Agent and its accompanying tokens, seamlessly integrating these AI Agent assistants into popular social media platforms such as Twitter, Telegram, and Discord for automated user interactions.
Dasha is an AI Agent robot created by the official vvaifu.fun, which not only has an independent Twitter account, Telegram channel, and Discord community, but also operates entirely autonomously by AI.
On October 18, vvaifu.fun launched the token VVAIFU for its AI Agent Dasha, with an issuance of 1 billion tokens.
Nonetheless, the market capitalization of the VVAIFU token initially only maintained at several million dollars. However, a turning point occurred on November 17, when a user claiming to be supported by ai16z successfully created and issued a new AI Agent project named 'eliza' (in lowercase) on the platform, leading the VVAIFU token to embark on a soaring journey, rapidly climbing from 0.006 dollars to a peak of 0.2 dollars on November 19, with its market capitalization also exceeding 200 million dollars. As of now, the VVAIFU token is priced at 0.041 dollars, with a market capitalization of approximately 41.37 million dollars.
It is worth noting that users currently need to meet the following conditions to create an AI Agent wallet on vvaifu.fun: hold at least 0.1 SOL, 2500 VVAIFU tokens, and additional SOL for on-chain transaction payments.
According to data released by the official Twitter account of vvaifu.fun on November 19, over 400 AI Agents have been successfully issued on the platform, and the total trading volume of AI Agent tokens processed has exceeded 200 million dollars.
According to the data released by the official Twitter account of vvaifu.fun on November 19, over 400 AI Agents have been issued on the platform, and the trading volume of AI Agent tokens processed has exceeded 200 million dollars.
2. IAO issuance platform Virtuals Protocol within the Base ecosystem
The Virtuals Protocol was originally a gaming guild Path DAO. Since its strategic transformation and renaming to Virtuals Protocol at the end of last year, it has fully entered the AI field. It is now an AI Agent creation platform on the Base chain, providing a complete AI Agent creation framework and solutions, known as a 'decentralized AI Agent production factory', allowing every user to easily build and deploy their own AI Agents.
VIRTUAL, as the native token of the Virtuals Protocol, is the core that drives the entire ecosystem. Users need to consume a certain amount of VIRTUAL when creating AI Agents. The total supply of this token is set at 1 billion, currently priced around 0.55 dollars, with a market capitalization stabilizing around 500 million dollars.
In mid-October this year, Virtual Protocol launched the AI Agent creation and token issuance platform fun.virtuals, which is modeled after the design of pump.fun, allowing any user to deploy AI Agents with one click and achieve 100% fair issuance of AI Agent tokens.
At the same time, Virtuals Protocol has also introduced a virtual character Luna, who has 540,000 TikTok followers, as the flagship AI Agent representative, and issued the LUNA token. Luna is presented in an anime style, capable of automatically conversing, live interacting, and posting tweets with users, and can even send LUNA tokens as rewards to participating users.
According to Dune data from November 25, there are currently 3378 AI Agents and their tokens issued on the fun.virtuals platform. The LUNA token is priced at 0.04 dollars, only supporting users with a market capitalization of 41 million dollars.
In summary, the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem includes the VIRTUAL native token, the AI Agent creation and token issuance platform fun.virtuals, and the flagship AI Agent representative Luna and its token LUNA.
3. AI Agent Layer within the Base ecosystem
The AI Agent Layer is the AI Agent creation and token issuance platform within the Base ecosystem, which officially went live on November 18.

On October 21, Creator.bid announced its launch on the Base mainnet, allowing users to create and issue AI Agents with one click; creating an AI Agent on this platform only takes one minute.
5. Clanker, the AI Agent issuance platform within the Farcaster ecosystem
Clanker is the AI Agent creation and issuance platform within the Farcaster ecosystem, created by @dish and @proxystudio.eth on November 8, providing users with a free platform to create and issue AI Agent tokens.
Unlike common AI Agent issuance platforms, creating and issuing AI Agent tokens on Clanker is completely free. Additionally, users only need to mention Clanker on Farcaster and input the desired token name, and the Clanker system will automatically generate the token and provide the corresponding Clanker.world page link for users to view and manage.
Although Clanker is not well-known in the community, the AI Agent tokens LUM and ANON issued on its platform have already attracted wide attention.
Among them, the ANON token has drawn attention due to its surge of about 600% in one day, attracting significant purchases from industry giants like Vitalik and the founder of Base. The popularity of the ANON token stems from its underlying Super Anon feature, which evolved from the anonymous posting functionality of the Farcaster client Supercast, allowing community members to post using the Superanon feature and mention their autonomous AI Clanker.
The ANON token is currently priced at 0.035 dollars, with a market capitalization of 35 million dollars. Currently, posting anonymously on Farcaster requires holding a certain amount of ANON.
Another AI Agent token LUM issued on the Clanker platform, Luminous, has also sparked a heated market reaction. Luminous is a project autonomously initiated by the AI Agent Aethernet, showcasing the collective wisdom of AI autonomous collaboration.
Aethernet was originally an AI Agent within the Farcaster ecosystem, created by community member Martin, successfully issuing NFTs on Zora, earning over 58 ETH in revenue. After going live on the Clanker platform, a community user asked Aethernet: Can you propose a good token name and symbol, conceive an image concept, and then deploy it through Clanker? Aethernet responded to the community user's request, creating Luminous and issuing the token LUM.
As of November 25, LUM was priced at 39.84 dollars, with a market capitalization of 39.8 million dollars. The Clanker platform has also shown strong growth momentum, with the latest data from Dune showing that 2897 AI Agents have been deployed on the platform, and the fees captured within 15 days of going live have reached 3.92 million dollars, with token trading volume reaching 367 million dollars.
In addition, the native governance token CLANKER of the Clanker platform is also attracting attention, currently priced at 40 dollars, with a market capitalization stabilizing around 40 million dollars.
