A single whale made a major move into AI tokens this week, triggering a surge in $AI16Z and $ARC, which have now posted 7-day gains of 60.7% and 95.5%, respectively. On-chain data from Spot On Chain reveals that this investor withdrew $8.24 million from Coinbase before going on a buying spree, acquiring $3.86 million worth of $ARC and $3.56 million worth of $AI16Z. This strategic accumulation has fueled renewed interest in the AI sector, with traders speculating that institutional money could be eyeing the space. $7.42M in #AI Token Buys: $ARC & $ai16z In the past 3 hours, new whale "8u6u3" spent: • 19,500 $SOL ($3.86M) for 12.511M $ARC at ~$0.309 • 18,000 $SOL ($3.56M) for 6.508M #ai16z at ~$0.546 Notably, this whale withdrew 38,139 $SOL from #Coinbase 7 days ago at $216.07, likely… pic.twitter.com/1V0jhSfhrq — Spot On Chain (@spotonchain) February 11, 2025 In the case of ARC, the transaction accounted for at least 2.2% of the total circulating supply of the token at the time of the purchase. Whales are typically considered the “smart money” of the crypto market. This kind of move may precede some positive news for $ARC and $AI16Z. Despite this huge investment, AI16Z performance this year has been quite disappointing as the token has accumulated a 80% decline from its peak. AI16Z Could Rise by 166% as Whale Prompts Renewed Wave of Positive Momentum Last week’s surge in AI16Z has ignited bullish momentum, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossing above the signal line for the first time since December 26. This shift signals growing buying pressure, further reinforced by the MACD’s histogram, which has been printing steadily rising green bars—often a precursor to continued upside. If momentum holds, AI16Z could be gearing up for a breakout, positioning itself for significant gains in the coming weeks. A short-term target for AI16Z sits around $1.2636 per coin, representing potential gains of 166.3%—assuming momentum continues to build. The AI agent sector has been surging in popularity, fueled by the success of Virtuals Protocol, AIXBT, and CGPT. Among the most prominent projects, Luna by Virtuals has gained massive influence across social media, proving the growing impact of AI-driven assets. Despite trading 80.7% below its all-time high of $2.48 from January 2025, AI16Z has still delivered strong returns to early investors since launching in October last year. Initially positioned as a decentralized AI-powered investment platform, AI16Z has since expanded its vision with the introduction of ElizaOS, an AI agent designed to enhance decision-making. At the heart of this ecosystem, the project’s investment fund operates as a DAO, exclusively investing in meme coins , with its assets under management (AUM) reaching $25 million.
