Original Article Title: The AI Dispatch #16 - Virtual Genesis Launches, Robotics, We're Back/It's so over

Editor's Note: This article discusses the market dynamics of AI tokens, focusing on the performance of tokens such as $AVA, $FARTCOIN, and $PROMPT. The author mentions that the AI token market is still full of uncertainty with high investment risks. Nevertheless, developers and market participants continue to drive innovation, especially as Coinbase may add some leading AI tokens. Virtuals and Genesis launches have received significant attention as key developments.

The following is the original content (slightly reorganized for readability):

Dear readers, hope you enjoyed the recent green candle surge. Well, it's all over now! Aren't we ungrateful, huh? Prices slightly bounced back, returned to support levels, and here we are worrying again. Wasn't AI supposed to be back after a few green candles? Isn't it dead now? Aren't we skyrocketing anymore?

As usual, things are far more complex than they seem. Personally, I think the entry point now is better than last week but worse than a month ago.

Unless you're playing the long-term holding game (which feels like asking for trouble?), there are always some interesting developments in the market.

Among these developments, priority should be given to developers who have been working tirelessly over the past few months.

Definitely not like $ZEREBRO. If you missed the news, apparently, the developer has already left.

Many speculate that the main developer announced the end themselves in a livestream?

While others believe that the video was fake and all of this was just for hype.

Dead or alive, I think we can still draw some insights from this situation:

Never give up on yourself: Mental health comes first. If you are going through a tough time, talk to a friend; you are not alone.

Investing in any AI token, even the most mature ones, carries higher risks compared to investing in other fields. Most projects exist for only a few months at most. Therefore, holding onto these tokens for the long term will expose users to risks far higher than in more mature areas.

Trading AI tokens is still primarily a narrative game. While betting on fundamentals (such as upcoming catalysts and upgrades) remains a good strategy, short-term strategies may reduce the impact of external risks.

Furthermore, the entire industry has yet to decouple from the broader market's influence.

Expect the next wave.

Tokens in the limelight

What Is the Focus of the Week?

The market's total value is still hovering above $80 billion, experiencing a strong rebound last week, rising from $40-50 billion to $70-80 billion.

Solana ($28 billion), Ethereum ($26.1 billion), and Base ($25 billion) are becoming increasingly close in terms of market dominance, with their market caps being very similar.

One possible differentiating factor, in my opinion, is that Coinbase is likely to awaken and eventually list some leading AI tokens.

Inevitably, the first to be listed will be Virtuals, followed by potentially other major tokens from the ecosystem, such as AIXBT and Vader.

Winners of the Week:

$CLANKER: Unfortunately, mainly due to some dramatic events.

$AVA continues to advance. Here are some new developments:

$FARTCOIN is the AI Token's beta version. It has performed well in smart fund flow:

as well as in social engagement:

$PROMPT: Following the TGE, @AIWayfinder has gained more attention due to recent developments, such as the newly added token details page:

$ANON: @HeyAnonai continues to focus on DeFai, launching a new integration with @yearnfi:

Although @virtuals_io is among the tokens with declining attention, this should mainly be interpreted as a reassessment following the hype of last week.

Focus on Virtuals

Following the Virgen points and Genesis release, the Virtuals ecosystem seems to have found a new response, igniting a flywheel effect within its ecosystem.

One of the main criticisms of Virtuals is that token sales are often oversubscribed, making it difficult for ordinary users to participate. This issue has been partially addressed by adjusting the Virgen points mechanism to serve as a qualification criterion for the Genesis sale.

$BIOS peaked at over 50 times the initial contribution during the Genesis sale, and the new sale has shown stability this week.

If you haven't delved into the Genesis sale yet, I strongly suggest you do so, as it is one of the most significant recent developments.

Here is a detailed summary of the Genesis sale to help you get started:
