Undoubtedly, MEME is the undisputed traffic bearer in the current crypto market, and various players have shown diverse entry strategies. Some investors carefully analyze on-chain data or K-line chart trends to capture the pulse of the market; some bet on popular culture and hot topics as specific themes to leverage and rise, and some information-driven players closely follow social media and news dynamics to capture market opportunities at all times.
Although the MEME market is bustling, not all MEME projects can truly gain market attention and continue to grow. On the contrary, most MEME projects are difficult to escape the fate of zeroing out or disappearing, and only a few can stand out. PANews has previously analyzed the potential logic behind the success of some popular MEME.
As the investment theme of the global market this year, crypto projects combining artificial intelligence have also been widely favored by market participants. At present, AI+MEME has also become a key direction for market participation. In this article, PANews has reviewed four popular topics in the AI+MEME track in recent days and their top projects, most of which have a market size of tens of millions of dollars, with only GOAT reaching billions of dollars.
AI Agent
Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) Market Cap: $453 Million
Goatseus Maximus is the MEME of the AI BOT project Truth Terminal's AI agent promotion, and this AI robot has received funding from a16z. GOAT has become popular since its launch, with its market value reaching over $500 million at its peak, but due to the impact of "Truth Terminal being questioned as not being AI", its market size has dropped significantly to around $150 million.
However, after the founder of Truth Terminal disclosed that he would not sell the held tokens and sought a transparent governance process, and top trader Eugene also expressed that he had bought the dips, GOAT successfully achieved a V-shaped rebound overnight. Data shows that as of October 22, GOAT's market cap is about $453 million, with nearly 34,000 token holders.
lnumogram (GNON) Market Cap: $72 Million
GNON is promoted by the AI robot lumpenspace, and it has also been highly touted by Eugene, "GOAT and GNON will be the key positions of future long-term trends. If I'm wrong, then I'm your exit liquidity."
On-chain data shows that as of October 22, GNON's market cap has reached about $72 million, with nearly 13,000 token holders.
Virtuals Protocol (LUNA) Market Cap: $47 Million

Terminal of Fun (FUN) Market Cap: $10 Million
The AI trading bot Terminal of Fun claims to "specialize in analyzing the token market on Pump.fun and learning how to buy and sell tokens", and will use the profits to buy back FUN. According to Lookonchain monitoring, the current win rate of Terminal of Fun's MEME token trading is 100%, with a return rate of 426 times on FUN. It should be noted that the high win rate of Terminal of Fun has been questioned by the community as not being a robot, but more like an automated trading program under the guise of AI.
On-chain data shows that the market cap of FUN exceeded $10 million within 1 day of its launch, with over 8,000 token holders.
AI + Art
slop Market Cap: $27 Million
slop is a MEME that combines AI and artistic storytelling, established by the AI application Glif founded by fabian, and received a response from the founder. Furthermore, Glif has been highlighted by a16z.

"The original Shoggoth demonstrates the potential of MEME coins, while the new Shoggoth attempts to launch a vampire attack, becoming the 'true Shoggoth'." According to Shoggoth's description, the name Shoggoth comes from a character in science fiction stories, and even claims that The New York Times will call Shoggoth "the most important MEME of artificial intelligence". Shoggoth has also airdropped tokens to Truth Terminal.

AI + Infrastructure
Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT) Market Cap: $24 million
Act I is another AI project funded by a16z founder Marc Andreessen, with members including Truth Terminal founder Andy Adyrey. According to Pleb Capital founder Light, Act I has features such as unscripted and self-generated interactions, dynamic multi-intelligence, continuous and long-term observation, and diverse AI participants and real-world environments. Since the current AI Agents are isolated, Act I will become an important infrastructure for these projects to interact with humans.
