Author: Nan Zhi, Odaily Planet Daily

In the past three days, Bitcoin has dropped from the highest price of 102,724 USDT to the lowest price of 91,203 USDT. The entire crypto market has plummeted, especially the AI ​​sector on the Solana chain. A large number of second-tier tokens have been directly eliminated.

In the previous falling market, most users only focused on which tokens in CEX were most resistant to falling. However, recently DEX has become one of the main battlefields that cannot be ignored, especially the AI ​​sector on Solana and Base chains. Therefore, this article will take some of the top coins on Solana, Base and BSC as research objects to show their performance in this decline.

Basic situation

Time range: The recent highest point of Bitcoin started at 8:00 on January 7, 2025, to 8:00 am today. The current market value is around 12 noon today.

Token range: A total of 25 AI concept tokens from pump.fun were selected on Solana, a total of 7 AI concept tokens from Virtuals Protocol were selected on Base, and some tokens in Binance Alpha were selected on BSC.

Data source: CEX tokens are from Binance Spot, DEX tokens are from TradingView.

Data situation

Bitcoin fell by 9.47% in 72 hours, while the market value of the entire crypto market fell from 3.76 trillion to 3.37 trillion, a drop of 10.3%, indicating that altcoins other than Bitcoin did not fall significantly.

In Solana, we have counted 25 tokens, and the average increase and decrease is -0.4%, which is not a big decrease. However, from the perspective of total market value, the initial market value of these 25 tokens was US$5.06 billion, and the final market value was US$4 billion, a decrease of 20.6%. From these two data, it can be concluded that large market capitalization tokens are losing blood, while some small market capitalization tokens have achieved leapfrog growth.

In Base, the average decline of the seven tokens counted was 19.9%, and the market value fell from US$1.16 billion to US$890 million, a drop of 23%. It means that all stocks are falling and there are no counter-trend tokens.

What are the contrarian coins doing?

• AVA: AVA was originally an AI Agent launched by Holoworld AI. It will launch Holoworld Launchpool in the near future. AVA holders can receive Launchpool token distribution (ie. BNB logic).
• pippin: Framework (narrative upgrade) coming soon.
• MAX: Launching the Launch platform agents(dot)land, MAX can pledge to obtain equity and tokens.
• BUZZ: There are no narrative changes yet.
• BUILD: No narrative changes yet.

In summary, it can be concluded that these counter-trend tokens are making their narratives more grand, and they can effectively drive a wave of rise regardless of whether they are implemented. Readers are recommended to continue to pay attention to the narrative changes of the top tokens in the future.
