AI agent tokens aren’t a new concept. But it’s only in the past few months that the crypto market has witnessed the rise of AI agent tokens. And considering the likes of Virtuals Protocol ($Virtual) to MIND of Pepe ($MIND), it seems that AI agent tokens are here to stay.
According to CoinGecko’s latest Annual Crypto Industry Report, the collective market capitalization of AI agent tokens exploded by 322% in 2024. This sector began the year at $4.8B and grew to $15.4B in Q4/24.
It’s not entirely surprising that AI agent tokens surged in popularity following the release of ChatGPT in late 2022. Although strictly speaking, ChatGPT isn’t an AI agent. Instead, it’s a large language model, and it needs human input to perform.
AI agents, on the other hand, are next-level AI creatures. They’re goal-orientated, interactive, adaptable, and – importantly – autonomous. Meaning they require little to no human input to do their job.
Genesis of the AI Agent Token
It would be remiss of us when delving into the history of AI agent tokens, not to mention Terminal of Truths (now Truth Terminal) and the massive impact it had on the meme coin Goatseus Maximus ($GOAT).
Truth Terminal is an AI agent with a social media presence on X. Its steady stream of viral content often includes memes, sarcasm, random philosophical insights, and other elements of internet culture.
Truth Terminal caught the attention of venture capitalist Marc Andreessen of Andreessen Horowitz, who made a $50K donation to the AI agent in $BTC. News of this went viral.
And when Truth Terminal started promoting Goatseus Maximus shortly thereafter, $GOAT’s market cap skyrocketed. In October – the month this meme coin was launched – 1 $GOAT cost around $0.059978. In mid-November, after Truth Terminal mentioned $GOAT, its price peaked at $1.21.
Following $GOAT’s success came Virtuals Protocol ($VIRTUALS) – which CEO and co-founder Jansen Teng describes as the first ‘agentic’ network nation. It’s a decentralized blockchain platform that enables $VIRTUALS holders to create their own AI agents on Base.
Once that agent is worth $503K, it receives a liquidity pool and an autonomous X account. $LUNA ($9.41M market cap) and $VADER ($8.06M market cap) are among the 17K AI agent tokens launched on Virtuals.
That’s the power of an AI agent. It can influence trends, markets, and opinions. And when an AI agent is tokenized, it leads to a whole new world of possibilities.
And whether in terms of utility, rewards and incentives, governance, or collaboration, AI agent tokens could well prove to be key drivers of the AI economy. But what role does MIND of Pepe play in all this?
Is MIND of Pepe the Next AI Agent Heavyweight?
With the upsurge of AI agent tokens entering the market, it can be difficult to differentiate the good from the, well, not-so-good.
But that’s where MIND of Pepe ($MIND) steps up to the plate. This is the first Pepe-themed meme coin set to be a fully autonomous AI agent.
By the way, we say ‘set’ because $MIND is currently on presale. But judging by its roadmap and tokenomics – not to mention the success of its presale so far – $MIND has the potential to be one of 2025’s best new meme coins.
Like Truth Terminal, MIND of Pepe will take to social media, setting up its own autonomous X and Telegram accounts.
There, $MIND will share its opinions as it evolves and engage with influencers. And as its social media presence grows, it’ll shape discussions and drive trends.
Here’s where $MIND holders stand to gain significantly. Through gated access, they’ll be privy to the market insights and other alpha data that MIND of Pepe gathers, giving them the upper hand with unique strategic opportunities.
This self-sovereign AI agent will also interact with dApps and create new cryptocurrency coins. $MIND holders will have exclusive early-bird access to those before they go public.
$MIND will continue to self-evolve, learn, and become more powerful with every day that passes, as the best AI agents are known to do. And as it uses AI technology to evolve, $MIND’s potential is limitless.
$MIND Off to a Great Start
We believe that MIND of Pepe is currently one of the best presales of the year so far. Its presale has already raised $7.4M+, and 1 $MIND currently costs $0.0035518. And staking your $MIND while the presale is still on could see you earning 301% returns.
Being a presale, however, the price increases in stages. So if you want to get your hands on this high-potential AI agent token, now’s the time. Our guide to buying $MIND will explain everything you need to know.
