- Crypto VC foresees a 10x growth for AI agents in 2025
- Can these AI memecoins rival Shiba Inu’s recent gains?
Most crypto speculators have jumped into memecoin hunting for the next 10x, 100x, or even a 1000x gem. What if AI memecoins could present such opportunities in 2025?
Crypto VC Syncracy Capital foresees a strong AI agent narrative in 2025. In fact, one of the VC partners, Daniel Cheung, stated that the crypto AI narrative could 10x, lifting AI agents.
“Despite the recent run up, Crypto x AI is still just sitting at ~1% of total crypto market cap. Sector could easily 10x from here as we progress through the cycle with the leading AI Infra, AI Agent Platforms and AI Agents outperforming disproportionally.”

Legacy memecoins like Shiba Inu [SHIB] are up by 180% on a YTD (year-to-date) basis. So, what are some of the top AI memecoins that could rival or outperform SHIB?
AI memecoin watch – ai16z, ELIZA, GOAT
Solana-based AI16z [AI16Z], a firm that massively invests in AI agent projects, is a top pick because of its high trading volume.
The AI agent has an over $800M market cap. If top exchanges list it, it could offer a massive upside to its holders. At press time, AI16Z was valued at $0.8, up 80% in the last 1 week.

Another potential AI meme coin is Eliza [ELIZA], a Solana-based AI agent launchpad. The project is backed by ai16z and is equivalent to Base’s Virtual Protocol [VIRTUAL]. ELIZA has pumped by 140% over the past week alone, soaring by 230% since launch.
However, ELIZA’s market cap is less than $100M, as some believe it may be massively undervalued relative to its rival, VIRTUAL. If ELIZA does match VIRTUAL’s unicorn status, that would imply a 10x from its press time levels.
Finally, Goatseus Maximus [GOAT], the pioneer of the AI agent narrative, could also see renewed traction in 2025. GOAT went viral after making an AI agent that spawned it the first crypto millionaire, setting the pace for the entire segment.
Although GOAT has achieved top exchange listings, its recent decline could offer a massive risk-reward ratio if the expected AI traction and dominant mindshare boost it.

Despite some being utility-driven, the AI agent tokens are very speculative and volatile. Hence, proper research and risk tolerance are recommended before investing.
