Welcome to 2025 PvE?

Happy new year and welcome back to the markets. While the majors and most alts were pretty quiet on the week, onchain AI coins have been up only for the most part with leaders like $VIRTUAL and ai16z hitting multi billion dollar ATHs. BTC was down to $94.6k over the last 7d while ETH & SOL fared a little better, falling just ~2%. VIRTUAL was the main source of top 100 strength with its run to $4.33bn ATHs, followed by relative outperformance in FTT, XLM, PENGU, PEPE and MNT.

ai16z has notably been picking up some steam against VIRTUAL, which is likely an important pair to watch (especially for potential follow through to SOL AI coins vs. Base).

From a Kaito mindshare point of view, AIXBT continues to lead all alts, followed by XRP, HYPE, PENGU, Fartcoin and PEPE. HYPE and PENGU attention has definitely faded from their respective peaks, but user and volume metrics have notably started to re-accelerate for HYPE.

Chart of the Day with Vertex

FTM is putting in a reversal from the lows and if we’re truly getting an alt szn this quarter, seems like a pretty easy hold? Try app.vertexprotocol.com today and trade FTM with up to 10x leverage.

In the onchain market we’ve some pretty wild moves in the past few days. Elon Musk changed his profile picture and name which gave birth to Kekius Maximus, which ran from $10mm to $400mm on ETH before falling to $100mm this evening after he changed his profile picture again. The big (non new launch) runners of the week included:

• SNAI which was up ~800% to $84mm

• AIXCB which 6x’d to $97mm

• AVA rose ~300% to $73mm

• SWARMS bounced back from its lows with a vengeance rising ~300% on the week to $94m

• REI tripled to $160mm

Good SOL coins bounced pretty hard on the day with a lot of tokens up 30%+ including:

• T3AI

• GRIFT

• IQ

• AUDIT

• SNAI

• MOSS

• NEUR

• HAT

• WOULD

SNAI, ai16z and UFD were onchain mindshare leaders, with other notable coins seeing attention increases included AUDIT, HAT, NEUR, Butthole, WOULD and IQ.

The trenches are back to accelerating with volumes up 2x from the lows on 12/26. As volumes continue to rise, look for prices broadly to accelerate.

Interesting projects getting smart follows:

• Daolympus

• Z80

• gigaverse

• Post Fiat

• Hyperutility

• Loomlay

• Keeper

• CyberForge

• T3

In Partnership with Tabichain

Exciting times ahead for the Tabi ecosystem, especially with its Mainnet launch this quarter. Notably Tabi will use a unique “attention economy” tokenomic style which I think will help incentivize both developers and users to the network (learn more here)

SMART MONEY CORNER - Presented by chainEDGE

• Pretty slow day from a smart buying perspective, with the below tokens each seeing $40k+ of buys over the last 24hr

• From a smart balance perspective, things have definitely turned bullish (and the list of high concentrated smart positions has also changed). TSOTCHKE and MOSS standout to me on this list.
