The prolonged bear market has left many investors searching for tokens that could deliver substantial gains when the next bull cycle arrives. To narrow the field, CryptoPotato asked three leading AI chatbots—ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity—for their top picks. The answers were varied but converged on several key projects, while separate enthusiasm around meme coins has put Dogecoin’s $1 target back in focus and introduced new AI-powered contenders like MemeToro.
ChatGPT’s Selections
ChatGPT’s “easiest” pick was Solana (SOL), citing its blend of liquidity, institutional interest, retail attention, and ecosystem activity. It argued that Solana would be “one of the clearest winners” if the next bull run is driven by meme coins. Hyperliquid (HYPE) placed second, praised for its DeFi role and strong fundamentals but with a caveat about potential exchange exploits. Chainlink (LINK) ranked third as a “picks and shovels” infrastructure play that could benefit from banks, funds, and asset managers moving on-chain, thanks to its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and tokenization push. Ondo (ONDO) and Sui (SUI) completed the top five, with ONDO labeled a direct real-world asset (RWA) pick and SUI noted for fast execution and retail appeal.
Gemini’s Perspective
Google’s Gemini also put Solana first, emphasizing its position as the primary Ethereum alternative with “blistering speed” and low fees. Chainlink came second, followed by NEAR Protocol (NEAR) for its ties to artificial intelligence, Arbitrum (ARB) for layer‑2 scaling, and Sui again rounding out the top five.
Perplexity’s Differing View
Perplexity took a more Bitcoin‑centric stance, placing BTC at the top because it normally attracts significant attention when risk appetite returns. Ethereum (ETH) was second as the core smart contract platform, with DeFi, NFTs, and ETF-driven institutional interest as catalysts. Solana, Chainlink, and Bittensor (TAO) filled the remaining spots, mapping to narratives around institutional adoption, scalable blockchains, tokenization, and AI infrastructure.
Dogecoin and the Meme Coin Revival
As AI chatbots assessed the field, Dogecoin (DOGE) is once again at the center of meme coin speculation. With its massive community and exchange support, DOGE remains a fixture whenever meme activity recovers. Reaching $1 would require enormous capital inflows, but the target remains a talking point among traders. Meanwhile, the meme coin sector itself is evolving, with investors increasingly seeking utility alongside community hype. This shift has opened the door to projects that combine meme culture with artificial intelligence and SocialFi platforms.
MemeToro: A New AI‑Powered Contender?
One such project is MemeToro ($MT), a SocialFi ecosystem built on BNB Chain. It features an AI Agent that scans social media and global news to identify emerging memes, an automated launchpad for creating memecoins without coding, and a native token that powers staking, prediction markets, and liquidity infrastructure. While comparisons to Dogecoin are based on market positioning—not direct similarities—MemeToro aims to bring structural utility to the meme economy, attracting attention as the AI narrative in crypto continues to grow.
