Over the past day, the shifts in “smart money” wallets in the crypto markets have illuminated some rather curious and distinct investment patterns. Accumulation in the following segments is becoming quite evident: 1. Memecoins 2. AI-driven projects 3. Cross-chain DeFi tokens Sure, these segments are not without their share of risks (and probably some red flags too), but what are the smart money wallets seeing that we are not? And should we be concerned? Memecoins Dominate Smart Money Accumulation Memecoins, which have drawn a lot of attention in recent times, are a renewed center of attention for smart money investors. One token in this category that seems to have been picked up quite a bit by selected wallets is $FARTCOIN. Four smart money wallets have purchased over $121,000 worth of $FARTCOIN. The confidence shown by these investors underscores the story around not just this token, but the entire memecoin narrative. And why not? FARTCOIN currently has a market cap of $361 million. It exists at the convergence of meme culture and technological advancement, especially as AI-driven projects rise in prominence. Analysts like @truth_terminal and @famous_analyst have mentioned $FARTCOIN as one to watch. Smart money wallets accumulations in the last 24 hours Main specific narratives accumulated: MEME (12 wallets) AI-driven projects (8 wallets) Cross-chain and DeFi (5 wallets) Top accumulations and reasoning: $FARTCOIN -> Strong memecoin narrative with AI meta… pic.twitter.com/tPPulfZOm0 — CoinSense.app (@CoinSense_App) March 20, 2025 Another memecoin that has captured the attention of smart money is $TABIBI. Despite its relatively low market cap of $3 million, $TABIBI has seen significant price fluctuations and high trading activity, prompting six smart money wallets to accumulate over $23,000 worth of the token. This newly launched memecoin has drawn attention due to its rapid price changes and growing interest among retail and institutional investors alike. Signals from @solmemescope and @solhousesignal point to $TABIBI’s recent surge in trading activity, with some speculating that its volatility could lead to a price rally in the short term. AI-Driven Projects on the Rise Another hot story that ‘smart’ money is getting behind is artificial intelligence (AI). Among the many projects driving this narrative, $AIXBT is clearly emerging as a standout token. One prominent wallet on-chain recently picked up $AIXBT to the tune of $30,000. Given that $AIXBT is performing quite well (up 176 percent on the year), I felt it was high time we spotlighted this project and token. As you’ll see, the technology behind $AIXBT is quite impressive. However, what’s even more compelling is the promise of integrating AI and blockchain. With a market cap of just $88 million, this token is flying very much under the radar for now. That said, industry insiders and a handful of crypto analysts are starting to take notice. Cross-Chain and DeFi Projects Gain Traction Alongside AI and memecoins, cross-chain projects and DeFi partnerships have smart money knocking on their doors. The Wrapped TRX token ($WTRX) has accumulated two of the major wallets this week, with a big pickup of about $13,000 worth of the token. The token has a market cap of about $399 million, not too shabby by today’s standards. It has even bigger numbers (in cross-chain terms) when you consider that its transaction count is on the rise as well. Commentators have noticed this uptick too, with the likes of @SatoshiSniper_ and @uniswap12 making note of it in recent days. The cross-chain DeFi project $EIGEN, built within the ecosystem of Ethereum, has drawn the interest of a smart money wallet that has accumulated $26,000 worth of the token. At a market cap of $278 million, $EIGEN is placing itself as a serious contender in the very new and thinly explored cross-chain DeFi space. What is even more interesting is that the Smart Money wallet accumulating $EIGEN also holds a significant amount of $SYN, the token powering Synapse Network, another cross-chain bridge. Looking Ahead: Smart Money Continues to Shape Market Trends As these trends unfold, it’s clear that smart money is closely tracking and accumulating tokens in sectors that are expected to drive the next wave of innovation within the cryptocurrency space. The memecoin trend, driven by the rise of tokens like $FARTCOIN and $TABIBI, continues to show signs of life, but it is increasingly being joined by more serious projects in the AI and cross-chain DeFi spaces. The strategic placement of smart cash in these areas indicates that investors are allocating their portfolios across several storylines. Whether this is all speculative, and folks are just putting on a show for the dumb money to come in, or these VCs actually have faith in these technologies and are making plausible bets with their investors’ money, this dynamic certainly suggests that the cryptocurrency space is a much more healthy and serious environment than just a couple of years ago. The next weeks and months will be vital for investors and analysts to determine whether the recent purposeful movements of large amounts of cryptocurrency signify that these large holders have a long-term vision for the sustainable growth of these projects. Or if they are simply making some short-term directional trades. I don’t know if you all have noticed, but there seem to be a lot of large movements of your Bitcoin and Ethereum these days. Key trend highlights: 1. Large holders accumulating 2. Large movements of Bitcoin and Ethereum 3. Bitcoin seems to be the focus 4. Is it short-term speculation or long-term vision?
