More than just a meme: why AIXBT is more than another hype token
What Is Aixbt?
Aixbt is a digital platform based on artificial intelligence (AI), launched in November 2024 on the popular blockchain protocol Virtuals, which is designed to create autonomous AI agents that utilize cryptocurrencies.
The Aixbt platform is used to monitor and analyze the cryptocurrency market, providing users with information that helps them develop investment strategies.
The platform's name is derived from a combination of the abbreviations AI (Artificial Intelligence) and XBT, the latter being the former ticker symbol for Bitcoin. Notably, some exchanges, such as BitMEX, still use XBT instead of BTC.
Aixbt is also referred to as an "AI-powered automated influencer," as it provides investors and traders with advice and valuable recommendations. The AI agent automatically posts crypto-related news and events on its social media profile on X (formerly Twitter), using a youthful narrative style. Aixbt also answers user questions and can interact with them directly.
How the Aixbt platform works
The Aixbt platform collects analytical data on the crypto market from various sources, including:
- On-chain metrics;
- Social media trends;
- News outlets, and more.
AI-based algorithms then process this data to provide recommendations. Here are some features available on the Aixbt platform:
- Real-time market trend analysis: Aixbt monitors key metrics, including price movements, trading volumes, and more.
- Market sentiment analysis: The platform scans thematic web resources to identify key trends in the crypto market.
- Creation of automated AI trading strategies: Users can create custom rule sets for bots.
- Risk management tools: Aixbt utilizes AI to assess risks, enabling traders and investors to adjust stop-loss and take-profit levels accordingly.
- Customizable alerts: Users can choose which data to monitor and receive important notifications.
- Portfolio tracking: Users can monitor their investment portfolios and evaluate their performance.
Access to the Aixbt platform is provided via a special terminal available only to holders of a certain amount of the native token of the same name.
AIXBT token
In November 2024, along with the platform launch, the AIXBT token was issued.
Initially introduced as a meme coin on the Layer 2 network Base, 1 billion AIXBT tokens were minted, with approximately 93% (934 million) already in circulation. The total supply cap of AIXBT is also 1 billion tokens.
At the time of its listing in November 2024, AIXBT was priced at $0.00023. However, it quickly surged, reaching $ 0.60 by the end of the year — a 2,600-fold increase. In January 2025, AIXBT reached its all-time high (ATH) of $0.94, approximately 4,000 times its initial listing price, with a market capitalization surpassing $740 million.
In late 2024, the project received backing from prominent players, including Quantum Cats — one of the key projects in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Quantum Cats purchased $1 million worth of AIXBT tokens and gifted the project a namesake ordinal*, which briefly served as the avatar for Aixbt's profile.
*Ordinals are a type of non-fungible token (NFT) on the Bitcoin blockchain, represented as inscriptions (artifacts).
However, after reaching its all-time high, the token's price rapidly declined amid a broader market correction but began rising again in April. As of May 2025, the AIXBT token is priced at $0.18 with a market capitalization of $168 million, which is approximately 34,000% higher than its original listing price. The AIXBT token currently ranks 246th on CoinMarketCap's cryptocurrency rankings.
Conclusion
The Aixbt project has demonstrated the powerful growth effect of combining trending narratives, such as meme coins and artificial intelligence. Unlike many other meme tokens with no real use case, the AIXBT token is actively used within its platform, encouraging investors to buy and hold the digital asset.
