In the fierce fluctuations of the crypto bull market, opportunities and risks coexist. As the market adjusts, it is those projects that stand at the forefront of technology and have strong innovation that demonstrate their unique value. This article will reveal eight of the most exciting and promising tokens in the current market trough: AI16z, ZEREBRO, ARC, AIXBT, GRIFFAIN, GRIFT, ZODS and ALCH. These projects not only create new possibilities in their respective fields, but also have unique advantages across cycles, and are accumulating strength for future market waves.
By deeply analyzing its catalytic factors, market performance, and team background, I have studied the intrinsic values and investment opportunities for some projects that can be entered during this downturn. Every choice could become the next legend; these projects are undoubtedly worth paying attention to as 'ALPHA' leaders.
AI16z | ai16zdao
The AI16z token is a meme project issued by 'pirated Marc' Marc AIndreessen on Daos.fun, based on the a16z concept. It is the first hedge fund led by AI agents, combining low-risk investments with high-risk investments managed by AI Degen Spartan. The underlying architecture 'Eliza' is open-source and has gained substantial developer support, with the V2 update improving flexibility and security.
The AI16z token's highest market cap once broke $1 billion, and its current trading volume is $9.3 million, still fluctuating at a high level, but market sentiment remains uncertain. One of the project's catalysts is the rumors about its imminent listing on Binance, which has drawn a lot of attention from investors. The project's appeal also comes from its advanced agent library combined with strong AI agent capabilities, providing innovative investment solutions for investors. However, the project still faces the challenge of an unclear token application scenario and increasingly fierce market competition, especially with the rise of competitors in the AI investment space.
Currently, the valuation of AI16z is $750 million, down 23% from its historical peak, providing investors with a relatively low-cost buying opportunity. However, whether it can maintain its market position depends on its ability to break through current competitive pressures and continue developing its core technologies and application scenarios.

ZEREBRO | 0xzerebro
Zerebro is a highly popular agent on Crypto Twitter, known for its outstanding artistic creation capabilities, able to generate music, memes, artworks, and NFTs. It can operate independently across multiple platforms, create Twitter and Instagram posts, and collaborate with its creators, having released two albums on Spotify. It has also created and sold artworks on Polygon, collaborated with DeFi protocols, and signed with an on-chain record label.
Zerebro, with its outstanding artistic creation capabilities, once reached a market cap of $624.15 million, and its current trading volume remains at $37.2 million. It is still in a high-level consolidation with minimal fluctuations, showing strong market support. Despite having a good technical background, the current application scenarios for Zerebro's tokens are still not fully defined, which brings some uncertainty to investors. Whether the future path will widen and whether the tokens can find more practically valuable uses remains to be seen.
The fate of the project largely depends on the success of Zerepy. The current market valuation for Zerebro is $294 million, down 52% from its historical peak, providing a rebound opportunity for visionary investors, especially against the backdrop of a market correction. It seems to be at a critical juncture with the potential for recovery. If Zerepy achieves breakthroughs, Zerebro will undoubtedly have the potential to reach new heights again.

ARC | arcdotfun
ARC is an AI concept token closely related to a development framework called 'rig,' representing the concept of hardcore AI infrastructure. The team's goal is to help developers navigate the 'sea of meaning'—an AI system that processes context and meaning similarly to the human brain through the development of the 'rig' framework.
Before the token issuance, the team explained the project's significance through official website and Twitter articles, emphasizing that it marks a transition in software development from pure logical construction to 'meaning processing,' expressing ambition for the future of the AI industry.
Since its launch, the ARC project has reached a market cap of $305.2 million, showcasing enormous market potential. Its current trading volume is $45.6 million, still showing a fluctuating upward trend, suggesting that investors are quite confident in its future. As a promising AI project, one of ARC's catalysts is its application in agent LP (liquidity provider). Meanwhile, its underlying Rust framework, known for its efficiency and reliability, has been regarded as one of the top development tools in the industry. This provides ARC with strong technical support, but facing strong competitors like AI16z, ARC still needs to continue optimizing and innovating.
Currently, ARC's valuation is $214 million, down 10% from its historical peak, which suggests it might offer investors a relatively low-cost buying opportunity. Many investors in the market are paying attention to this, hoping that as technology develops and the market matures, ARC can break through the bottleneck again and welcome a new growth cycle.

AIXBT | aixbt_agent
Aixbt is one of the agents created based on the Virtuals from the Base platform. It monitors Crypto Twitter and market trends through intelligent analysis tools, providing valuable market insights to users. Some analysis content is shared on Twitter, while the rest is restricted to token holders who can directly converse with the agent through their exclusive terminal.
Aixbt's analysis has a certain accuracy in predicting price trends, increasing user trust in its AI-driven market insight capabilities. Aixbt demonstrates how AI analyzes blockchain data and helps traders make more informed decisions across multiple platforms and fields.
Although Aixbt once reached a market cap of $308 million, its current trading volume is $5.2 million, with significant volatility and clear trends of ups and downs. One of the catalysts for Aixbt is undoubtedly the rumors of its listing on Binance, which has undoubtedly added more market heat. Meanwhile, Aixbt's strong agent capabilities and deep market insights make it a favorite among many investors.
However, as technology continues to innovate, more powerful agent tools may emerge in the future, which poses higher demands on Aixbt or may even lead to direct replacement. Currently, its valuation has dropped to $295 million, down 5% from its historical peak, providing a rare entry opportunity for daring investors.

GRIFFAIN | griffaindotcom
Griffain is a Solana-based project—an AI agent engine, similar to Copilot and Perplexity. It is one of the projects closest to the Agentic APP. The ultimate form of a search engine in the AI era should be users directly stating their needs, and AI directly providing results or solutions, rather than just providing web links.
Griffain, as one of the projects closest to the Agentic APP, currently has a trading volume of $40.3 million, and its market cap once soared to $405 million. However, its volatility has been evident in the past 10 days, showing strong high-level oscillation characteristics.
One of the catalysts for this project is its open access mechanism. Meanwhile, as a leading agent engine, Griffain undoubtedly attracts a lot of market heat. Although the specific application scenarios for its tokens have not yet been clarified, the team behind it has gained recognition from Toly, adding considerable brightness to its prospects. Griffain's current valuation is $267 million, down 30% from its historical peak, providing investors with a potential rebound opportunity and making it more attractive in the market.

GRIFT | orbitcryptoai
Grift is an AI agent token launched by the SphereOne team (funded by Coinbase and Google), making meme trading easier. Users only need to click once, and GRIFT will scan high-volume memes and automatically purchase them, saving trading time and effort. SphereOne is a cross-chain crypto payment platform, and the AI trading tools it provides have been validated by the market.
Grift, as an AI agent token launched by the SphereOne team, is redefining the landscape of meme trading. Currently, Grift's trading volume is $9.8 million, and its market cap once soared to $82.25 million, experiencing significant volatility in the past 10 days. The project's catalyst comes from steadily developing partnerships and ongoing technological advancements, especially with the introduction of its token buyback mechanism, injecting new vitality into the market.
Grift's agent engine is highly stable, giving it unparalleled appeal, and the team's complete transparency allows investors to easily verify project progress. However, as an emerging technology agent engine, Grift inevitably faces certain technological risks. Nevertheless, the project's current valuation is $55 million, down 41% from its historical peak, but this represents a potential opportunity for investors in a volatile market.

ZODS | zodsonsol
ZODs is a platform that integrates multiple features of the Solana ecosystem, known as the 'Swiss Army Knife of Solana.' It combines trading tools, token issuance, wallet management, on-chain insights, and social media management into one platform, aiming to allow users to complete all operations in one place. Compared to Griffain, ZODs has fees that are 80 times lower.
The founder has a technical background in high-performance trading tools, and the tokens are locked until December 2025, demonstrating long-term commitment. ZODs has open-sourced web scraping services to provide the latest data in real-time to LLMs, supporting multilingual needs. The platform's AI agents support web interfaces, voice commands, and Telegram interactions, suitable for both novice and professional users. It also offers features like DCA orders and whale wallet tracking.
The project currently has a trading volume of $4.4 million, with a highest market cap of $18.8 million, although it is in a high-level oscillation stage with significant volatility. Despite being open for public access, the application scenarios for the tokens remain unclear, and it seems to still be searching for its stage. The agent engine's performance is stable, but the lack of public information about the team raises certain risks and concerns. The current valuation is $11 million, down 41% from its historical peak, and it is time to consider whether this project can break through again or get lost in the wind.

ALCH | alchemistAIapp
Alchemist AI is a no-code application generation platform that allows users to quickly generate different applications and products using public AI capabilities through natural language descriptions. Unlike traditional AI agents, Alchemist AI does not require users to create different AI agents, but rather automates the generation of applications through the AI capabilities provided by the platform.
Users only need to connect their wallets and input application descriptions, and the platform will generate the corresponding programs, which can then be downloaded or further optimized through conversation with the AI. The uniqueness of this platform lies in its provision of development tools through a no-code approach, utilizing community-driven value propagation, thereby forming a breakthrough in the crypto market's AI Agent track.
Alchemist AI's highest market cap reached $149.78 million, but it has now dropped to $41.82 million, with a trading volume of $20.4 million, and the token price is showing a downward trend. The project's catalyst mainly relies on continuous development progress, and the use case for the token is to drive the launch of advanced models. The project features an impressive coding engine that will further enhance the platform's appeal.
Due to the team's information not being publicly available, investors are filled with uncertainty about its future. Currently, Alchemist AI's valuation is $77 million, down 54% from its historical peak, providing a potential low-entry opportunity for those optimistic about no-code application generation in the future.
