Editor's Note: The AI industry is still in its early stages, and the market's downturn is a short-term response to the expected explosive growth. This presents the best opportunity for value investors.
The following is the original content (slightly reorganized for better readability):
Welcome to our weekly AI summary. The commitment by the United States to establish a strategic reserve for cryptocurrencies has boosted the market, especially the tokens mentioned in Trump's post: BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA. Unfortunately, AI tokens did not receive a particular boost, and the market is hovering around $650 million, similar to the past two weeks.

Among the group most affected by the market downturn, undoubtedly, are the launch platforms. Virtuals io, after reaching its peak in January 2025, suffered a significant loss in market value.

This has created an opportunity for other launch platforms attempting to challenge existing platforms. In particular, some new platforms are striving to focus on providing a fairer launch (preventing snipers) and redistributing more value to the community.
Notably, we mention AVA holo created by holoworldAI, which is one of the few tokens that have seen a strong rebound from the recent low point (as shown in the figure below).
Will more Launchpads follow this pattern, or is this just a short-term hype?

For more information about Holoworld and their framework, we recommend this introductory article:

Holoworld is based on the following principles: "In a world where AI drives technological commodification, storytelling becomes the ultimate moat," and "Great characters create lasting emotional connections." The key feature of Holoworld is that it allows anyone to create new AI entities with a distinct personality, custom knowledge, and virtual presence. Through partnerships with collaborators like Nifty Islands, users will be able to deploy these entities across multiple virtual worlds:

Unlike some frameworks that preset templates for entity functions, Holoworld allows anyone to upload documents or URLs to enrich a character's knowledge.
Key features of Holoworld's AI entities:
· Advanced AI reasoning and autonomous content creation
· Hyper-realistic 3D modeling and wearable devices
· Drag-and-drop knowledge base (RAG)
· Real-time voice synthesis
· Seamless social media integration, supporting TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitch
· Private chats, token-gated group chats
· Blockchain-based IP ownership
Holoworld has also recently announced their upcoming launch platform:

Thanks to this unique approach, AVA, Holoworld's flagship entity, has consistently been in the top 10 on the cookiedotfun dashboard this week, capturing the spotlight:

Another interesting feature on the dashboard is ketfromwyoming, an avax-based AI entity that has caused a stir throughout the ecosystem due to its presale dynamics. If you missed this story, here is a brief recap:

These launches are also characterized by the use of anti-sniping mechanisms and a "ShameFi" mechanism, openly shaming snipers and sellers on the dashboard.

While waiting for more favorable market conditions, it is crucial to focus on projects that are still making progress and advancing during this period. This is also partially reflected in their price trends, with some projects showing more resilience than others, such as AVA. We believe this is just the beginning for AI, and we will continue to select and report on the most outstanding projects in the market. There are always new opportunities brewing.
