Memecoins WIF and BONK face a sell-off as investors pivot to MIND of Pepe, a new contender leveraging AI for market dominance. With just 11 days until its next phase, the project’s algorithmic prowess is stealing the spotlight.

Why the shift? MIND of Pepe’s AI-driven strategy cuts through meme hype with actual utility—a rare sight in the ‘buy the rumor, sell the news’ circus of crypto. Its presale momentum hints at FOMO, but let’s be real: when has irrational exuberance ever stopped a bull run?

Bonus jab: Another day, another ‘revolutionary’ token. At least this one runs on more than vibes and VC exit liquidity.

Profits Are Rotating – From Meme Highs to AI’s Next Big Play

In the past seven days, the total market cap of meme coins has pulled back from over $76 billion to around $67 billion – a drop of roughly 11.8%.

Notably, the largest losses came from some of the sector’s top performers. $BONK declined by 11.3%, $WIF dropped by 20.1%, $BRETT fell by 18.8%, and $FLOKI followed with a 16.94% dip.

Yet despite the short-term slide, the broader 30-day trend remains bullish: $BONK is up 52.25%, $WIF by a massive 121.51%, $BRETT by 92.82%, and $FLOKI by 62.2%.

This round of profit-taking was expected, especially after U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff pause announcement last month, which helped fuel a sharp run-up across risk assets. But with gains now realized, capital is shifting.

And that shift is heading toward AI.

AI Tokens Are Moving Like Memes – and MIND of Pepe Is the Next Rotation Target

However, capital rotation isn’t just pouring into top crypto AI tokens – it’s also starting to MOVE further down the stack in search of asymmetric upside.

Over the past 30 days, Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) surged by 241%, NEAR Protocol climbed 24%, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) added 14.41%, and Bittensor (TAO) gained 36%.

But the past seven days tell a different story: VIRTUAL is down 6.28%, NEAR has slid 12.32%, FET dropped 15.19%, and TAO fell 8.53%.

In contrast, one newer contender gaining real attention in the shift toward AI is MIND of Pepe – a crypto-native AI system designed to make trading smarter, faster, and more lucrative.

With nearly $10 million now raised and just 11 days left in its presale, investor FOMO is kicking in – not just because of the meme appeal, but because the tech is already live.

Unlike most AI projects still stuck in roadmap mode, MIND of PEPE has launched a modular crypto trading agent live on X – powered by persona-trained LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic vector matching, and a persistent data layer.

It tracks narratives, sentiment, token activity, market dynamics in real time – and then packages that intelligence into grounded, actionable insight.

And the next leap is coming: the MIND Terminal, a token-gated platform for real-time token analytics, on-chain tracking, and autonomous blockchain interaction – built to not just follow the market, but shape it.

Virtuals Is at $1.2B Without Full Launch – What Happens When MIND of Pepe Goes Live?

Virtuals Protocol currently sits above $1.2 billion in market capitalization, driven largely by AI narrative momentum and early positioning in the agent economy.

While it has launched initial AI agents like Tracy.AI and AIXBT, much of its ecosystem – including tools for agent creation and platform-level scaling – is still under construction.

In contrast, MIND of Pepe is still in presale mode, with a sub-$10 million valuation and, as mentioned, a working AI agent already deployed on X.

Even a move to just half of Virtuals Protocol’s market cap WOULD represent a staggering multiple from current levels.

And while a simple 2x or 3x return is already impressive in this market, MIND of Pepe brings something rare: a convergence of working AI infrastructure with meme-level community energy.

In crypto, that dual thesis has historically been a launchpad for much more aggressive price discovery, and MIND of Pepe is starting from a base low enough to make those outsized gains possible.

Your Last 11-Day Window to Join Before $MIND Lists

MIND of Pepe is proving that investors are looking beyond the meme – and toward the tech that could define crypto’s next frontier.

While capital rotates out of overextended meme and AI tokens, $MIND is still early, still undervalued, and already delivering on functionality. Most competitors are months away from shipping.

Joining is straightforward: head to the MIND of Pepe website, connect your wallet (Best Wallet) is recommended), and contribute using ETH, USDT, or even a bank card.

Every purchase makes you eligible to stake $MIND tokens for up to 246% APY. Rewards are dynamic – the earlier you stake, the higher the rate, as the pool naturally tapers over time.

Best Wallet is available now on Google Play or the Apple App Store, offering full visibility into your $MIND holdings and seamless setup for new contributors.

Follow the live evolution of the @MIND_agent on X, plug into Telegram, and stay ahead of every move before launch day.
