Over the past three days, Bitcoin has fallen from a high of 102,724 USDT to a low of 91,203 USDT. The entire crypto market has fallen sharply, especially the AI ​​sector on the Solana chain. A large number of second-tier tokens have been directly eliminated.

In the previous decline, most users only paid attention to which tokens on CEX were the most resistant to decline. However, recently DEX has become one of the main battlefields that cannot be ignored, especially the AI ​​sector on Solana and Base chains. Therefore, this article will take some of the top tokens on Solana, Base and BSC as the research objects to show their performance in this decline.

Basic Situation

Time range: From the recent Bitcoin peak at 8:00 on January 7, 2025 to 8:00 am today. The current market value is around 12:00 noon today.

Token range: Solana selected 25 AI concept tokens from pump.fun, Base selected 7 AI concept tokens from Virtuals Protocol, and BSC selected some tokens from Binance Alpha.

Data source: CEX tokens are from Binance Spot, DEX tokens are from TradingView.

Data

Bitcoin fell 9.47% in 72 hours, while the market value of the entire crypto market fell from 3.76 trillion to 3.37 trillion, a drop of 10.3%, indicating that the decline of altcoins other than Bitcoin was not large.

In Solana, we counted 25 tokens, and the average increase or decrease was -0.4%, which was not a big drop. However, in terms of total market value, the starting market value of these 25 tokens was $5.06 billion, and the final market value was $4 billion, a drop of 20.6%. From these two data, we can see that large-cap tokens are losing money, while some small-cap tokens have achieved leapfrog growth.

In Base, the average decline of the 7 tokens counted was 19.9%, and the market value dropped from 1.16 billion US dollars to 890 million US dollars, a drop of 23%. This shows that all tokens are falling, and there is no counter-trend token.

What are the contrarian tokens doing?

  • AVA: AVA was originally an AI Agent launched by Holoworld AI. Holoworld Launchpool will be launched soon. AVA holders will be able to obtain Launchpool token allocation (i.e. BNB logic).

  • pippin: Coming soon framework (narrative upgrade).

  • MAX: Launched the Launch platform agents(dot)land, where MAX can stake to obtain equity and tokens.

  • BUZZ: No narrative changes at this time.

  • BUILD: No narrative changes at this time.

In summary, it can be concluded that these counter-trend tokens are making their narratives more grand, and can effectively drive a wave of increases regardless of whether they are implemented or not. Readers are advised to continue to pay attention to the narrative changes of the leading tokens in the future.
