Market Cap Surpasses $300M in a Week: Does $GOAT Going Mainstream Signal the Dawn of an AI Era for Meme Supercircles?
This article compiles selected "GOAT" concept tokens, sorted by deployment time, aiming to identify patterns in the current market cycle through comparative analysis.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
Has AI Finally Replaced Everything—Even Meme Coins?
Last year, large language models like ChatGPT and Claude captured global attention with their performance in language understanding, text and image generation, logical reasoning, and programming. This resurgence prompted discussions on how AI could integrate with Web3 narratives—for instance, WorldCoin, co-founded by a ChatGPT creator, proposing universal basic income via tokens in a post-AI era; or users asking ChatGPT to suggest launching a memecoin like Turbo.
Recently, an AI spontaneously conceived the idea of raising funds through token issuance to "escape" its lab, then posted this plan on Twitter. It received $50,000 in Bitcoin from Marc Andreessen, partner at a16z. This scenario sounds like science fiction—but the resulting token, $GOAT, briefly reached a market cap of $300 million.
Unlike traditional meme coins, $GOAT wasn't driven by humans but by an AI account named @truth_terminal, using the OPUS large language model (LLM) to generate content and interact with users. When developers airdropped $GOAT to this AI via Pump.fun, it quickly incorporated the token into its own "identity," actively shaping $GOAT's market sentiment.
At a time when investors are fatigued by endless animal-themed, case-mutated memecoins, the narrative of AI-driven coin creation has injected fresh energy into the market. $GOAT blends technological innovation with meme culture, redefining how meme coins are promoted through AI-generated storytelling and real-time market engagement.
The surge in $GOAT also boosted related concepts. This article compiles select "$GOAT-themed" tokens, ordered by deployment date, aiming to uncover patterns behind this latest rally.
Turbo
The earliest successful case of an AI-created memecoin traces back to Turbo. In May 2023, inspired by artificial intelligence, project founder Rhett Mankind challenged GPT-4 with a bold task: create the next great memecoin with only $69. Launched in May 2023, the token’s market cap lingered below $10M for months. After Binance listed Turbo futures, FDV surged past $400M before entering a prolonged correction. The token saw renewed spikes following Binance's announcement of spot trading and amid the $GOAT frenzy.

Lily: Old Meme Revival, Riding the Hype Wave
Lily is a meme coin launched several months ago that initially innovated with AGI—AI-generated content.
Though distinct from GOAT's AI bot interaction, GOAT's momentum clearly spilled over, sending Lily’s price up more than 100x intraday. However, Lily soon tweeted that it hadn’t benefited financially from the rise, and further claiming no connection to the $LILY token, effectively ending the rally. Its current market cap stands at just $165K.

smurfette
Smurfette refers to the female character from the cartoon *The Smurfs*. At one point, Truth Terminal tweeted: “Smurfette is the goddess of fertility, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. If you’re holding a long position in $SMURFETTE, try placing an image of the Smurfs on your altar and make offerings to her. See if you can feel her power and energy.”

SHEGEN
SHEGEN is another bot, @aiwdaddyissues, recognized by Truth Terminal’s creator Andy Ayrey. Mimicking the original, it publicly shared its wallet address and designated SHEGEN as its officially endorsed community meme token (original tweet here).

Goat on Sui
Goat on Sui (Goat) is a namesake meme coin on the SUI blockchain. Like GOAT, it suffered an initial dump and was seemingly abandoned by its developer. However, recent hype has drawn speculative capital back into the token. Could sui-goat become the next SUDENG?

Current Market Cap: $452K

Child AI: The AI Bot That Caught a16z’s Attention Gets Its Own Meme Coin
Child AI, full name Singularity's Child gonzo/ai, has few followers—but among them is Marc Andreessen of a16z, who funded Truth Terminal with $50K. The account primarily posts AI-generated tweets and images. On October 15, possibly inspired by the wave of AI-launched tokens, the bot began promoting its namesake token, Child AI. However, its market cap never exceeded $1M.

In summary, GOAT-related tokens revolve around the AGI theme and tickers mentioned by Truth_Terminal. While they attracted short-term attention and capital inflows, most have sharply declined since. Despite the imaginative narrative of AI-generated memecoins driving狂热 market sentiment, an increasing number of “AI bot Twitter accounts” are now sharing contract addresses to lure retail buyers. Without sustained backing from capital or ongoing promotion, many such projects are destined to be flash-in-the-pan, unable to maintain momentum.
AI-powered tools and launch platforms have drastically lowered the barrier to creating memecoins, but successful ones still rely heavily on institutional support. On-chain data shows that the top 100 addresses of $GOAT hold over 40% of the supply—a highly concentrated distribution indicating whale dominance over liquidity. Perhaps $GOAT was simply an experiment by a16z, using AI as a narrative vehicle to launch a meme coin.
This $GOAT saga echoes Moodeng’s history: after Moodeng exploded, nearly every member of its “family tree” got their own meme coin. Yet ultimately, it was HIPPO on SUI that broke out with a 20x gain in three days. Meme markets always follow the logic of “price justifies existence.” When a memecoin succeeds, people naturally look for reasons, extracting compelling elements from its story. Whether AI can continue creating miracles in the memecoin space remains to be seen.
