The 2025 crypto presale scene is being dominated by AI-powered projects, with IPO Genie ($IPO), Nexchain, and Tapzi emerging as key contenders, each integrating artificial intelligence into distinct market niches. According to recent analysis, these projects are attracting significant attention from early investors seeking exposure to the convergence of AI and blockchain technology.
IPO Genie positions itself as a private-market access platform, tying its $IPO token to real assets. The platform offers token holders access to private investments, revenue sharing, platform fee participation, governance rights, staking benefits, and, for certain tiers, downside protection. The project has reportedly raised $500 million in Assets Under Management (AUM) and is in a very early presale stage with a token price of $0.00010500, with expectations of a 20x return upon exchange listing. Its advisory board includes compliance professionals, seasoned founders, and blockchain researchers, aiming for institutional-grade discipline.
Nexchain is an AI-powered blockchain project targeting breakthrough scalability with claims of up to 400,000 transactions per second (TPS) and ultra-low fees. It utilizes a hybrid Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and AI consensus mechanism. The project has raised approximately $12 million in its presale, with a token price of $0.12 and an expected launch price around $0.30, representing a potential 3x return for early investors.
Tapzi merges Web3, gaming, and AI into a "skill-to-earn" model. Its AI is designed for fair matchmaking, real-time sorting, and anti-cheat mechanisms within its gaming platform. It is pitched as a high-upside play, with some projections suggesting a potential 10x return after launch, though it carries significant execution risk in bridging gaming traction with crypto economics.
Market data underpinning the trend shows the global AI platforms market is forecast to grow from roughly $24.9 billion in 2024 to about $292 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 50.8%. Furthermore, the AI token market cap surged 181% year-over-year, and presale tokens in 2024 delivered a median ROI of 28–52% at Token Generation Events (TGE).
Analysts highlight that IPO Genie's model, focused on "real assets and measurable outcomes," offers a more grounded, value-driven approach compared to purely speculative plays. It is seen as appealing to investors seeking diversification and a measured risk-reward profile within the booming AI and crypto niche.
