Market Highlights:
Currently, the AI agent market is experiencing a phase of profit-taking intertwined with rebounds.
Fartcoin dominates in both Mindshare and market capitalization, rising rapidly due to an influx of speculative retail traders and traditional finance (TradFi) investors.
Meanwhile, foundational projects like Virtuals, AIXBT, and AI16Z have maintained relative stability amid broader market corrections.
Newcomers such as Moby and Orbit continue to gain attention, while more mature DeFAI startups like HeyAnon and GriffAin are making steady progress against the backdrop of growing on-chain narratives.
Top Performing Projects Include:
-
Fartcoin: Despite a 20% price drop over the past 72 hours, it has surpassed several established agents in market cap, driven by memetic narratives, achieving over 100% returns in the short term.
-
AIXBT: Has consolidated its leadership in data analytics but faces pressure from declining Mindshare and slight market cap adjustments.
-
Virtuals: Maintains a key position in agentic infrastructure thanks to SDK integration and continuous ecosystem growth.
-
Moby: Reinforces its role as a whale-monitoring and infrastructure data agent, drawing increasing interest from developers.
-
ARC and GriffAin: As core players in emerging AI frameworks, both demonstrate strong developer engagement and market resilience.
Agent-by-Agent Analysis:
i) Fartcoin (@FartCoinOfSOL)
-
Mindshare: 11.99% (up 1.97%)
-
Market Cap: $1.96 billion, down 20.6%
Commentary: Fartcoin leverages speculative momentum to lead in Mindshare. Its meme-driven appeal continues to drive user engagement, with liquidity and trading volume hitting new highs. After surging from $1 billion to $2.5 billion in market cap, it underwent a healthy price correction.
"Market heat keeps rising." —— @TaikiMaeda2
ii) AIXBT (@aixbt_agent)
-
Mindshare: 10.91% (down 0.29%)
-
Market Cap: $650 million, down 15.5%

iii) Virtuals (@virtuals_io)
-
Mindshare: 5.47% (down 0.04%)
-
Market Cap: $2.62 billion, down 15.6%
Commentary: Despite a market cap pullback, Virtuals maintains its leading position in agentic infrastructure, consistent with broader market trends.
Through GAME SDK integration and partnerships with key ecosystems, Virtuals' tech stack is gaining adoption among developers. It enables any framework to use its technology, rapidly positioning itself as the future economic layer for agents:
"Build freely within any framework—freedom of framework choice is a core value of the Virtuals society." —— Virtuals

Market Cap: $484 million, down 4.7%
Commentary: Griffain’s modular tools are gaining increased attention. New partnerships and product updates further highlight their practical utility.
"A new era of labor is arriving... Agents will empower businesses and consumers with robot-powered task execution." —— @tonyplasencia3
vi) AVA (@AVA_holo)
-
Mindshare: 2.41% (down 0.05%)
-
Market Cap: $184 million, down 11.4%

viii) Rektguy (@RektguyAI)
-
Mindshare: 2.05% (down 0.1%)
-
Market Cap: $78.55 million, down 9.9%
Commentary: Rektguy’s meme community remains highly engaged, though it was impacted by profit-taking, with market cap decline aligning with broader market corrections.
Notably, Rektguy now has the ability to create OSF-style artwork, and its thought process and decision logic can be verified via terminal:
"You can view the agent's thinking process and decision flow directly in our terminal." —— @osf_rekt
ix) Hey Anon (@HeyAnonai)
-
Mindshare: 1.8% (down 0.02%)
-
Market Cap: $236 million, up 1.7%
Commentary: Hey Anon has strengthened its leadership in DeFAI strategies through consistent community engagement.
Its backend technology continues to upgrade, optimizing DeFAI solutions via multiple data plugins provided by core vendors:
"We've integrated almost the entire DeFi tech stack because others are just forks—minor variations. Right now we have 45 workstreams, most of which are nearly complete." —— @danielesesta
With its beta version soon opening to a wider user base, this is a project worth watching closely.
x) Zerebro (@0xzerebro)

Commentary: Despite a sharp market cap drop, Zerebro remains highly relevant in developer communities, having launched new developer-focused updates alongside enhanced analytical features. Accelerated open-source development may lie ahead.
"If we open-source a 2-billion-parameter Zerebro model lightweight enough to run on an NVIDIA RTX 3060... @huggingface, here we come." —— @jyu_eth
The revenue-sharing NFT recently launched in collaboration with @dolion_ai sold out quickly:
"10,000 zerebully NFTs sold out in under 40 minutes." —— @khouuba
xi) Moby (@mobyagent)
-
Mindshare: 1.68% (down 0.02%)
-
Market Cap: $85.98 million, up 1.3%
Commentary: As a whale-watching data agent, Moby attracts developer attention with unique market insights.

xiii) Henlo (@henlokart)
-
Mindshare: 1.29% (down 0.05%)
-
Market Cap: $46.81 million, down 28.9%
Commentary: Henlo maintains market relevance through its AI-NFT narrative, but after the initial hype, both market cap and user engagement saw minor declines.
"At this stage of the supercycle, I'm too lazy to tell anyone the price targets for BTC, ETH, HYPE, PENGU, and HENLO—because even if I did, you wouldn't believe me anyway." —— @ciniz
xiv) Cookie (@cookiedotfun)
-
Mindshare: 1.27% (down 0.09%)
-
Market Cap: $121 million, down 11.1%
Commentary: Cookie continues to upgrade its analytics dashboard product, but sentiment decline has affected both Mindshare and market cap. However, could a larger plan beyond the agent space be in the works?
"What if the Cookie ecosystem gains attention not just in the AI market, but broadly follows the flow of capital?" —— @fwielanier
xv) Pippin (@pippinlovesyou)
-
Mindshare: 1.17% (down 0.07%)
-
Market Cap: $107 million, down 12.3%
Commentary: Pippin's framework tools continue to attract developer interest, but market cap declined due to profit-taking. Additionally, slower update cadence in the GitHub repository has created some friction.
Meanwhile, a Discord moderation tool powered by large language models (LLM) is under development:
"Built an LLM-powered Discord mod tool (pippin-mod), and I’ll open-source it too." —— @yoheinakajima
Emerging Trends:
i) Memetic Resilience: Despite a 20% pullback, Fartcoin’s Mindshare continues to rise—further demonstrating the narrative power of meme-driven assets.
ii) DeFAI Expansion: Projects like Moby, Hey Anon, and Orbit indicate rapidly growing market interest in DeFAI automation and infrastructure.
iii) Infrastructure Leadership: Projects including Virtuals, AI16Z, Griffain, Pippin, and ARC are attracting significant developer attention by offering scalable AI solutions.
iv) Profit-Taking & Rotations: Broad market corrections suggest capital is rotating from meme-driven agents toward utility-driven agents, also reflecting reduced Trump-related liquidity.
