The market capitalization of artificial intelligence (AI) meme tokens has skyrocketed, reaching an impressive $10.9 billion as of January 2, 2025.
This marks a 25% increase in the past 24 hours, according to data compiled by CoinGecko. These tokens combine the growing trends of AI technology and the vibrant meme coin culture, with three key players dominating the space.
Collectively, the three leading AI meme coins represent over 40% of the category’s total market cap, garnering approximately $4.6 billion in combined capitalization.
These leaders are AI16Z with $2.245 billion, FARTCOIN with $1.376 billion, and Turbo with $664 million.
The leading AI meme token, AI16Z, is an artificial intelligence-powered crypto fund run by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) known as ai16zDAO.
Token holders within the DAO can propose investment ideas to the AI platform model, which is powered by the Eliza artificial intelligence system. AI16Z has gained significant momentum, with its market cap increasing by over $1 billion in just five days, trading at around $2.06.
Meanwhile, FARTCOIN and Turbo, the second and third largest AI meme tokens, are valued at $1.4 and $0.00962 respectively. Both coins have also seen widespread adoption, and Binance Futures recently listed them alongside AI16Z and GRIFFAIN for derivatives trading.
