Efforts to tokenize pre-IPO stocks, like what Robinhood is doing with OpenAI, may help unlock liquidity in private markets, but the structure likely qualifies as a security, carries bankruptcy risk and could spark lawsuits over shareholder agreement breaches.

In just 45 days, Utah could become the first US state to roll out a Bitcoin reserve, signaling bullish times for the crypto universe in general. Paired with OpenAI’s ‘Deep’ announcement, AI meme coins could also be set to skyrocket. According to Satoshi Action Fund CEO Dennis Porter, ‘no other state has a faster calendar, and… the political momentum and willpower to get (a Bitcoin bill) done.’ If approved, Utah’s Bitcoin bill will enable state treasurers to invest up to 5% of their funds into digital assets, which now have a combined market cap surpassing $50B. In other breaking news, OpenAI’s new ‘Deep’ research assistant is another signal of rosy prospects for crypto, especially AI tokens like $MIND and $AIN. Let’s dive into some trending ones set to capitalize on these favorable market conditions. 1. MIND of Pepe ($MIND) – AI Agent Scanning Crypto Twitter for Insights MIND of Pepe ($MIND) is a revamped version of $PEPE. Like its predecessor, it has an amphibious green face. However, it sets itself apart by having real utility: its very own AI agent that scans crypto X (Twitter) and other social media platforms for the hottest crypto industry insights of the day. Considering $PEPE has achieved a $4B market cap without any real-world use case, $MIND could have a promising future ahead. This is especially true when taking into account that the AI market is anticipated to grow at a 27.67% CAGR from 2025 to 2030. Leveraging AI enables MIND of Pepe to gather and pass on its knowledge to $MIND holders, giving them a leg up in the crypto game. Plus, token holders can anticipate more exciting tech-savvy innovations in the pipeline as the project has reserved 30% of its total token supply for development. $MIND is on presale for just $0.0032532 right now, and you’ll find all you need to know about how to buy here. Visit the MIND of Pepe official presale. 2. AI Network ($AIN) – Turns AI Content Into Tradable NFTs AI Network ($AIN) is a blockchain-based platform that simplifies the use and development of AI through engaging experiences. Ultimately, it’s a blockchain-based platform that simplifies the development and use of AI with fun elements. Its native token – $AIN – can be earned when users rent out graphics processing units (GPUs), which are essentially powerful computer chips that handle complex AI tasks. Another boon is that AI Network users can use these GPUs to run AI applications easily without needing AI software, which is often costly (even the simplest AI solutions cost around $10K to develop). The AI content can then be turned into AI NFTs, which can be bought, sold, and traded for extra gains, making it all the more powerful and valuable. $AIN already has a $1.94M market cap. As AI developments continue to gain traction, its price will likely spike, which could make now a prime time to buy. You can purchase $AIN on major exchanges like Bitget and MEXC for approximately $0.0077. 3. Moo Shot ($MOOSHOT) – Hippo Game Offering AI-Driven Observations Inspired by Colombia’s famous Hacienda Napolis hippos, Moo Shot is a new AI-powered ecosystem powered by its native coin, $MOOSHOT. Moo Shot uses AI to create an interactive gaming experience and dish out trading insights. The project’s pipeline includes metaverse integration, NFTs, and CEX listings, which should position it straight in the sweet spot – the metaverse sector alone is projected to grow at a CAGR of 37.43% from 2025 to 2030. A bonus is being able to stake the coin at a 100% APY. It’s no wonder that over 147M $MOOSHOT has already been staked. Considering one $MOOSHOT costs only $0.005025 and will increase in price in less than four days, there’s no better time to join the presale than the present. 4. ChainGPT – AI-Powered Chatbot, NFT Generator & News Aggregator Another AI coin worth eyeing is ChainGPT ($CGPT). Its 24-hour volume has increased by over 40% since yesterday. Attracting attention to the coin is the fact it’s the linchpin of the entire ChainGPT ecosystem. It supplies an abundance of AI-powered solutions, including: ChainGPT chatbot AI NFT generator AI-generated news AI trading assistant On top of this, $CGPT is a governance token, so all token holders get a say in the platform’s future trajectory. You can also stake $CGPT to earn rewards, of which $21M worth is already locked. US $BTC Reserve & OpenAI News Spark Interest in AI Meme Coins When US states and companies start holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset, its mainstream acceptance should spike, positively impacting other cryptocurrencies like AI meme coins. Moreover, OpenAI’s announcement of Deep is drawing renewed attention to the entire AI landscape — including AI-driven tokens like $MIND and $MOOSHOT. However, this is not investment advice. We’re merely highlighting potentially profitable opportunities based on current market conditions and trends. For this reason, always DYOR and never invest more than you’d be sad to lose.
