Market Downturn 72 Hours: Which On-Chain Tokens Are Rising Against the Trend?
On-chain AI tokens continue to bleed, with market cap declines significantly outpacing the market average. Most tokens that rose against the trend underwent narrative transformations.

Over the past three days, Bitcoin has fallen from its peak of 102,724 USDT to a low of 91,203 USDT. The broader crypto market followed sharply downward, especially AI-related tokens on the Solana chain—many mid-tier tokens were directly eliminated.
In previous bearish cycles, most users focused solely on which tokens held up best on CEXs. However, DEXs have recently become a major battleground, particularly within the AI sectors on Solana and Base chains. This article analyzes select leading tokens on Solana, Base, and BSC to illustrate their performance during this downturn.
(Odaily Planet Daily note: Whether to accumulate heavily dumped tokens or chase those rising逆势 (against the trend), readers should judge for themselves. This article serves only as data compilation and reference.)
Basic Overview
Timeframe: From January 7, 2025, 8:00 AM—the recent BTC peak—to 8:00 AM today. Current market cap reflects data around noon today.
Token selection: 25 AI-themed tokens launched via pump.fun on Solana; 7 AI-themed tokens from Virtuals Protocol on Base; select tokens from Binance Alpha on BSC.
Data sources: CEX token prices from Binance spot market; DEX token data from TradingView.
Market Data
Bitcoin declined by 9.47% over 72 hours, while total cryptocurrency market capitalization dropped from $3.76 trillion to $3.37 trillion—a 10.3% fall—indicating that altcoins outside Bitcoin did not experience extreme drops.
On Solana, the average price change across the 25 tracked tokens was -0.4%, a relatively mild decline. However, in terms of total market cap, these tokens fell from an initial $5.06 billion to $4.0 billion—a 20.6% drop. This suggests large-cap tokens are bleeding value, while some small-cap tokens achieved significant growth.
On Base, the seven tracked tokens saw an average decline of 19.9%, with total market cap falling from $1.16 billion to $890 million—a 23% drop—indicating broad-based declines without any counter-trend performers.
What Are the Counter-Trend Tokens Doing?
-
AVA: Originally an AI agent developed by Holoworld AI, it will soon launch the Holoworld Launchpool, where AVA holders will receive allocations of new Launchpool tokens (similar to BNB's model).
-
pippin: Preparing to roll out a new framework (narrative upgrade).
-
MAX: Launching an agent platform called agents(dot)land, where MAX can be staked to gain rights and additional tokens.
-
BUZZ: No updates to its narrative at present.
-
BUILD: No updates to its narrative at present.
In summary, the counter-trend tokens are expanding their narratives into more ambitious visions. Whether or not these plans are fully executed, such narrative enhancements effectively drive short-term rallies. Readers are advised to closely monitor narrative evolution among top-tier tokens going forward.
