At 23:05 Beijing time on December 3, Coinbase announced that it would include the meme coin MOODENG on Solana in its listing roadmap.

Subsequently, the price of MOODENG doubled within 10 minutes.

Of particular note is that Arkham data shows that market maker Wintermute holds MOODENG worth up to $35.91 million, which is the Meme coin with the highest value. Among MOODENG holding addresses, Wintermute ranks third in terms of holdings.

As early as the end of November, according to @ai_9684xtpa’s analysis, 64% of the TOP25 meme coins made by Wintermute have been listed on Binance, and 6 of them have both spot and perpetual contracts. Wintermute’s holdings and trading trends have undoubtedly become the focus of market attention.

The author found that Wintermute has recently been paying attention to some new AI agents, such as aixbt, nftxbt, Empyreal and Holoworld. Of course, in terms of its holding value, the AI ​​agent token with the largest holding is still GOAT (market making purpose), second only to MOODENG, with a holding value of US$30 million.

On the evening of December 2, an address suspected to be Wintermute's (which was funded by Wintermute) marked by Arkham purchased AIXBT tokens worth $510,000.

In response to this, the official Twitter account of aixbt proxy robot quickly responded, "Praise Wintermute for always being able to keenly capture the potential value of tokens and layout ahead of retail investors. Currently, 600,000 tokens are required to access the aixbt terminal." The current total value of these tokens is US$162,000.

On the evening of November 30, the address also purchased NFTXBT (nftxbt), another AI proxy token in the Virtuals ecosystem, for about $200,000. This move pushed the market value of NFTXBT from less than $3 million to more than $10 million in just one minute. Currently, the market value of NFTXBT is stable at around $14 million. It is worth mentioning that aixbt and nftxbt have interacted on Twitter many times.

The author wrote an article at the end of November (aixbt soared 170 times in half a month, Virtuals AI proxy potential stocks are counted), and most of the proxy tokens in the Virtuals ecosystem of AI proxy protocols have also experienced a large increase. The official Twitter account of aixbt attracted a lot of traffic by aggregating hot events in the circle, project progress and data analysis. The number of its fans has rapidly increased from more than 10,000 to 80,000 in just one or two weeks.

nftxbt is an AI agent focused on fine art digital art and NFTs. Leveraging the development resources of the generative art platform fxhash, it will build a data pipeline that integrates X, (NFT) markets and on-chain data. Specifically, it will integrate with API data from major markets such as Ethereum (including L2 such as Base), Solana, Bitcoin, and Tezos, while listening to social activities and providing a curated list of accounts to parse market signals. AIXBT and NFTXBT have market caps of $250 million and $14 million, respectively.

In addition, the address marked as Wintermute by Spot On Chain (not marked on Arkham) also purchased $237,000 worth of EMP (Empyreal) tokens in early December. Empyreal uses its official AI agent Simulacrum (SIMMI) to launch on-chain artificial intelligence agents from social media in natural language. Simulacrum will also support betting on X, and support users to post DOGE tips, and natively integrate Claude and ChatGPT native integration to resolve user intentions into on-chain operations. The current market value of EMP and SIMMI is $92 million and $33 million, respectively.

In addition, in mid-November, the Wintermute address also received 16 million AVA (Holoworld), and currently holds more than 23 million AVA tokens, equivalent to about $980,000, ranking fifth in the AVA holder ranking. AVA's current market value is $43 million. Holoworld is an AI creation engine that supports viral IP, including generating short videos, launching live broadcasts, making video calls, and creating endless emoticons. It is worth mentioning that Holoworld was also selected for the Binance Labs Season 7 MVB Accelerator Program in March this year.

As an emerging field with great potential, AI agents have successfully attracted the close attention of many venture capital institutions and market makers such as Wintermute. Y Combinator partners recently pointed out that the market size of AI agents focusing on vertical market segments is expected to be extremely large, and it is even possible to breed companies with a market value of more than 300 billion US dollars. The infinite possibilities released by AI agents are already clearly visible.

Although AI proxy tokens generally have a large bubble in the Crypto field, this does not prevent us from identifying those investment targets with relatively smaller bubbles. In this market that is both challenging and full of opportunities, the important task of investors is to carefully select and discover tokens with more outstanding potential.
