"AI agents" and "art IP" are competing for the meme, which side will the market choose next?

*Author: CMed, * Zhouzhou, BlockBeats

The PVP on the Pump platform is thriving every day, with everyone tirelessly engaging in PVP and eager to find various "angles."

The story of AI memes continues to unfold with difficulty. After GOAT was listed on top exchanges, it still failed to break the "1 billion dollars" curse, with its market cap peaking at 880 million dollars before falling back to the current 580 million dollars. The price of GNON also saw a significant drop, retreating from a high of nearly 400 million dollars to now less than 10 million dollars. Interestingly, a new narrative angle has emerged with AI DAO, which established a fund managed by AI Agents and received recognition from a16z, reaching a market cap of 80 million dollars within two days, now falling back to around 40 million dollars.

Since Michael Bouhanna, the vice president of Sotheby's, tweeted on social media that the artwork "banana and duct tape" would be auctioned at Sotheby's, and subsequently issued the related meme $BAN from his personal address, many artists have expressed on social media their welcome to use their works to issue tokens on the Pump.fun platform. However, most artists quickly sold off their large token supplies after acquiring them, leading to a K-line that ultimately trended towards zero.

ai16z & degenai

ai16z is a decentralized AI trading fund based on the Solana blockchain. As an "AI investment DAO," the core of ai16z is to utilize AI agents to gather market information, analyze community consensus, and automatically conduct token trading both on-chain and off-chain. This new model aims to combine AI trading strategies with decentralized governance through tokenization, providing investors with more transparent and trustworthy investment opportunities.

Degenai is an AI agent token developed by the same team as ai16z. Simply put, degenai is the robot itself, an AI agent, while ai16z is a redeemable fund. Users do not communicate directly with ai16z for investment decisions but first engage in dialogue with Degen Spartan AI, indirectly influencing ai16z's final decisions. A portion of the investment returns from ai16z is also used to buy back degenai.

Art Concept

Ban

In 2019, the tape + banana series created by Italian artist Cattelan was auctioned at Sotheby's, with the banana named "Comedian" sold for 120,000 dollars, sparking heated discussions on social media. Recently, Sotheby's announced it would re-auction one of the three "versions" of this artwork.

Around eleven o'clock on Friday night, an on-chain hunter pointed out that one of the top holdings of the banana concept coin $Ban on Solana chain displayed on GMGN.AI was Michael Bouhanna (@michaelbouhanna), the vice president of Sotheby's, which accounted for 3.78% of the total supply. Following the vice president's bizarre behavior of deleting the tweet and then changing his profile picture, the price of Ban skyrocketed, setting new historical highs repeatedly.
