Moreover, it is also the first AI token on the Solana platform to hit a $2 billion market cap, as the AI ​​agents trend continues to grow stronger as we head into 2025. Reports say whales have accumulated nearly $25 million worth of the token recently.

ai16z’s price surge has taken the spotlight

Amid several new milestones, ai16z’s price has surged more than 200% on the weekly chart, reaching $2.41. With a gain of over 600% over the past month, this is one of the AI-based meme coins that analysts are bullish on heading into 2025.

According to data from Coinglass, today’s price surge was accompanied by a 147% increase in open interest, reaching $63 million. In addition, daily trading volume also increased by 40%, surpassing $260 million.

ai16z’s price pump from under $1 to $2.4 took place in less than a week, thanks to strong accumulation from whales for the AI ​​coin on Solana. Blockchain data from SOL Scan shows the active activity of whale wallets around this altcoin.

The increase in whale activity indicates growing interest in the AI ​​coin, as significant investments demonstrate strong confidence in the token’s future potential. Currently, the developers behind the project are focusing on tokenomics reform and preparing to launch a separate Layer 1 network, similar to Pump.fun. These expected changes in the tokenomics structure could have a strong impact on the price of ai16z, while also having a broader impact on related cryptocurrencies in the ecosystem.

Notably, this is the first AI coin to operate as a venture capital DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) led by AI agents. Led by AI agent @pmairca, the project leverages artificial intelligence and collective intelligence to optimize the investment decision-making process.
