Two tokens, Turbo (TURBO) and Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), contributed $360 million, accounting for over 60% of the total AI meme coin trading volume. Most remaining tokens have low liquidity, with 24-hour trading volumes below $1 million.

TURBO is a meme coin created by ChatGPT, while GOAT is promoted by the ‘Terminal of Truths’ account, which is believed to be operated by AI. The price surge in these tokens reflects the community’s combined interest in AI and meme coins.

“I think there’s something serious going on; this is maybe the first example of a convergence point between AI and crypto,” Andreessen remarked.
