In the constantly changing realm of cryptocurrency, the revenues of intelligent money purses often bestow priceless little searchlights on where the market is headed.
The last 24 hours have seen the concentration on three future narratives: Kanye West’s L influence on meme coins, AI and agentic frameworks, and burgeoning interest in DeFi innovations. The market’s reaction to these developing trends has seen certain tokens react positively, especially after seeing smart money merge with some impressive celebrity endorsements and cutting-edge technologies.

Accumulation Trends: Meme Coins, AI, and DeFi Lead the Charge
A wide variety of tokens has attracted the interest of astute investors. One of the most notable developments is the sizable investments being made in meme coins—such as those associated with Kanye West. Another key narrative is the development of frameworks for artificial intelligence, which seems to promise a new generation of robust decentralized applications. Finally, there is a burgeoning area of interest in truly decentralized finance platforms, which are primitive to what many call today an “innovative financial system.” These three storylines are driving the strategies of large investors, whose activity is increasingly important to the cryptocurrency markets.
Kanye West and Meme Coins: $YZY Leads the Way
In recent days, one of the standout trends seems to be the surge of interest in Kanye West’s involvement in the crypto space, particularly in meme coins. Known for his pop culture influence, Kanye West’s endorsement, whether intentional or not, has driven a ton of eyeballs toward the tokens allegedly linked to him. One such token is $YZY. Over the past 24 hours, four smart money wallets have scooped up over $22,000 of $YZY. The market cap of the token is currently $22.49 million. No one really knows (or cares) how a meme coin tied to Kanye West came to be, but it’s safe to say it has something to do with the rapper’s colossal presence on social media and the sheer association of his name with buzzworthy tokens.
AI and Agentic Frameworks: $MAIAR Sparks Development Interest
A different accumulation trend has developed around AI projects. In contrast to general layer 1 and layer 2 projects, which we saw recently accumulating, there has been an uptick in the last few days in smart money moving into AI-powered projects. This trend has shifted significantly toward projects that we classify as agentic frameworks—systems that enable machines or algorithms to perform complex tasks without human oversight.
A prime example of such a project is MAIAR ($MAIAR), which has recently announced Phase 3 of its development. Over the last 24 hours, two smart money wallets have accumulated $6,000 worth of $MAIAR, pushing the token’s market cap to $1.7 million.

DeFi Innovations: $AAVE and $BNKR Garner Smart Money Support
Even as AI and meme coins attract much of the limelight, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector remains a foundational part of the crypto market’s growth. A high-profile project that is drawing ever more interest is $AAVE, the massively popular DeFi lending platform. It’s not just retail investors who are excited about $AAVE these days; smart money, too, is taking notice.
In the past 24 hours, one highly regarded crypto wallet accumulated $38,000 in $AAVE, a coin whose market cap now stands at a whopping $2.6 billion. A recent announcement from the $AAVE team about a new economic model and a buyback plan appears to have sparked fresh investor enthusiasm.
$BNKR (BankrCoin), in the domain of artificial intelligence and decentralized finance, has thrown out more than its share of ripples.
$BNKR’s token is capturing what uninitiated observers might consider its “brain power” — the crypto companion powered by AI, designed to turbocharge DeFi. A smart money wallet just picked up $11,000 worth of $BNKR, which now has a market cap of $22.4 million.
The combination of AI and DeFi seems on its surface to be a potent cocktail, proof of which is the $BNKR narrative.
Unique and Niche Projects: $GFM and $PVS Catch Investor Interest
In addition to the main stories about Kanye West, DeFi, and AI, some more obscure projects are also drawing the interest of smart money wallets and attracting investors’ attention. $GFM (GoFundMeme), a community-driven project with a focus on meme tokens, has racked up some recent interest. One smart money wallet added $14,000 to its holdings of $GFM, which now has a market cap of $16.7 million. The project’s focus on community incentives and the transparency of its fair launch have made it a standout in the crowded market for meme coins.
Currently, $PVS is a blip on the radar of most crypto investors, with a relatively small market cap of $3.3 million. Most of its trading volume so far has come from centralized exchange CEX.IO, where $PVS is priced at $0.00397 as of midday September 28.
However, that trading volume is dramatically up from where it was this time last week, when the price of $PVS was roughly $0.0016. Over the past 24 hours prior to this writeup, $PVS had a total trading volume of $308,840. Over the same timeframe, its price has climbed from $0.0035 to where $PVS now sits at midday on September 28.
In the previous 24 hours, smart money wallets have been accumulating a different assortment of tokens—a bandwagon effect that seems to underlie the current cryptocurrency trends. The latest additions to the wallets have been meme coins. They also contain tokens tied to AI projects, and some are stashing DeFi-related coins. It appears that the investors who these wallets represent are now banking on the idea that certain narratives (or stories) are going to drive the prices of these tokens higher in the near future.
As these sectors keep developing, it’s going to be intriguing to witness their evolution and to discern which kinds of projects will endure. At present, though, investors are evidently putting their bets on meme-driven momentum, groundbreaking AI advancements, and the potential for financial innovation in DeFi. Whether these bets will pan out or be smacked down by the kind of market volatility that everyone in the crypto space has come to know and love remains to be seen.
