AIXBT leads AI agent recovery as whale buying persists

AIXBT turned out to be the main driver for the recovery of AI agent tokens. The asset saw support from ongoing whale buying, as well as high-volume trading between top wallets.

AIXBT is the most active AI agent token as of January 15, recently reaching a new peak above $0.75. AI agent tokens show a pattern of turnover coming from top wallets, as funds flow to spark the next rally. 

In the past day, a dedicated whale moved in to accumulate AIXBT, still holding most of the tokens. The whale invested $3.03M into AIXBT, adding to the previous holdings. In addition to the single notable buyer, AIXBT has seen clusters of activity, becoming more active as the token rallied. 

The wallet has AIXBT as the main holding, with a peak valuation above $5.61M. The whale also owns GAME and VIRTUAL tokens. The wallet’s buying pattern uses repeated transaction through the Uniswap universal router, to build up reserves of AIXBT while swapping out of GAME and VIRTUAL. The purchases are happening every few minutes, using a day-long strategy to roll over from the two previously hot tokens. 

AIXBT did not rally entirely by itself, but as part of a larger trend for some of the top AI agent personalities. Other AI agent tokens in the green included FREYSA, ChainGPT, and AVA. Daily growth is also happening for AI16Z and ELIZA, as traders seek out potential platforms with utility, in addition to the content and personality. 

Are whales affecting the AIXBT rally?

The recent AIXBT rally is seen as relatively risky and possibly organized by whales. The token is among top AI agents, more liquid than newly launched tokens, but still easily swayed with large-scale orders. 

One of the factors boosting AIXBT is its trading activity, which is concentrated on Uniswap V3, where whale orders are also transparent. AIXBT also relies on Binance for over 36% of its trading activity, making the token more reactive compared to those that still depend on Raydium. However, DEXs remain a good source of accumulation for whales. 

AIXBT is also trying to gain users and show its value as a venue for reliable market information. AIXBT is one of the leading agents of Virtuals Protocol, which relies on regular content creation through AI-based market analysis. 

However, the short-term price action is still seen as risky, causing a deeper drawdown if the buying stops. The AI agent space is still trying to retain its gains and bounce off the recent lows. 

The sector as a whole regained value, bouncing from a low of $11B to over $14.66B. AI agents are seen as one of the most promising narratives for 2025, but there is no consensus on how fast or sustainable their rally would be. 

Additionally, whales and retail are still seeking the hottest tokens. AIXBT has the advantage of a Binance listing and more active social media presence, which also leads to more dramatic pumps. The token has not entered a cycle where the price dips temporarily, inviting buyers to make use of the recovery. 

AIXBT builds up user count in the past month

AIXBT hosted around 6.64K users in the past month, not counting engagement through social media. The growth for the AIXBT terminal has been slow, as the product is rolled out for testing. Part of the AIXBT rally may be due to the expectation for tiered access coming soon. 

Massive spike in market cap and mind share for @aixbt_agent.

Today, only ~250 people have access to the terminal ($384,000), which is 0.16% of $AIXBT holders.

Next week, tiered access is being rolled out.

If the terminal is made widely available and impresses, expect even more… pic.twitter.com/zUDXn4QK80

AIXBT has been growing its user base since November, standing out among other Virtuals Protocol personalities. Instead of relying on simple engagement, AIXBT aims to turn into one of the main information and analysis sources for the crypto market. The protocol taps the trend for tokenized information apps, including Arkham and Bubblemaps. If the information and analysis of AIXBT gains influence, the token may be a proxy for the app’s success.

In the short term, AIXBT remains a speculative-interest token, which may repeat the success of VIRTUAL. AIXBT has the advantage of gaining a presence on both Solana and Base, potentially gaining users with the lowest possible transaction cost.
