AI Meme Sector: The First New Hotspot of 2025

Recently, HTX Ventures predicted in its research report "HTX Ventures 2024 Year-In-Review" that AI-related cryptocurrencies will become a significant investment hotspot in 2025. At the core of the AI meme sector is the fusion of artificial intelligence and crypto community culture, driving market sentiment and fueling community vitality in an innovative manner. AI Meme projects typically blend both AI technology and meme culture, cultivating a thriving digital asset ecosystem through personalized content generation, smart interactions, and social media communications.

HTX's asset team has selected 6 top-performing AI meme projects for Crypto Gem Hunt #3, with 3 of them receiving an "A" rating. These projects are:

FARTCOIN (Fartcoin): A meme coin on the Solana blockchain. FARTCOIN, with its unique creativity and strong community appeal, secured its place as the top gainer for this phase.

Inspired by the Truth Terminal concept, FARTCOIN gained rapid popularity, sparking a lot of discussions. This project was previously featured in two phases of the HTX Crypto Gem Hunt program..

 ZEREBRO (Zerebro): A creative expression of autonomous AI. ZEREBRO specializes in creating and distributing decentralized content. The combination of its unique hyperstition-driven content generation and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology has garnered attention. With strong technical support and innovative operations, ZEREBRO saw a 214% price rise after being launched on HTX.
